RIEDER Smart Elements continues to expand its range of customised concrete-based facade solutions to meet today’s architectural demands to create facades with complex geometries and construct sustainable buildings.

ARCHITECTS and designers are increasingly moving towards rainscreen systems as the preferred facade for new buildings and renovations, as they seek to meet their clients’ demands for higher technical and performance for cladding systems, according to Dirk Homrighausen, managing director of EJOT Middle East.

MULK Holdings, a UAE-based diversified conglomerate, has made inroads into the Indian market by winning a number of cladding contracts for large projects including major airports.

RAK Ceramics, the world’s largest ceramic manufacturing company, claims yet another ‘first’ with the launch a new line of natural stone slabs called Versatile. As the name suggests, the product has a wide range of applications from steps and risers to vanity tops and building facades.

AN ENGINEERED product that provides a real wood finish for building fascias, roof linings, decking for walkways and terraces, pergolas, hand railing, and planters is now being promoted in the region by Advanced Fibreglass Industries (AFI) in Dubai, UAE, which represents Dura Composites in the Middle East.

EXOVA has further extended its services to the building construction sector in response to market demand. The company, which has established a reputation in the region as a premier testing and related services company, can now conduct fire testing to BS 8414 for facade systems and U-value testing.
