RUUKKI EXPRESSION®

Ruukki Expression® - taped pictures for walls

Ruukki Expression® is a complete facade system based on pictures and patterns taped on the outer skin of the
Ruukki® Energy Panel System. Tapes can be through-colored for various patterns and logos, or they can be printed using practically any picture. This creates an unlimited range of design options – limited only by your imagination! Just send us your proposal in the form of a photo or drawing, and we will come back with our proposal.

Ruukki Expression® tapes are of very high quality, with excellent UV resistance. The taping work is done in our factory in dry conditions, to ensure high accuracy and excellent bonding. Panels are packed and delivered in the correct installation sequence with clear panel layout drawings.

High air-tightness of the base structure, the Ruukki® Energy Panel System, generates up to 20% savings in a building’s energy costs and improves its energy class.

The Ruukki Expression® system includes everything from design to complete delivery.

Park Regis Hotel, Birmingham

Ruukki Supply Fire-Tested Panels for the New Park Regis Hotel in Central Birmingham

The safety and suitability of the building materials used in multi-storey constructions is of the utmost concern. With great fire risks in high-rise complexes, companies must ensure that the products used in a building’s construction meet the strictest fire and safety regulations and have been rigorously tested to industry-approved standards.

Ruukki’s SP2D PIR UK sandwich panels have been proven to be both fire-safe and energy-efficient, due to their low thermal conductivity and concealed-fixing joint design, and were therefore chosen for the construction of the luxury Park Regis Hotel, Birmingham, which opened back in April 2016.

The hotel, constructed by Colmore Tang Construction, used Ruukki’s SP2D PIR composite cladding panels, which are ideal for façades that must combine thermal insulation with appealing appearance.

Panel Safety Testing

Prior to use in the construction of the Park Regis, Birmingham, Ruukki’s SP2D PIR UK sandwich panels were submitted for rigorous testing to BS8414 standard.

The panels were tested at the British Research Establishment (BRE) facility in Watford, and the results confirmed that Ruukki’s panels met the criteria stated within BRE 135 fire performance of external thermal insulation for walls of multi-storey buildings.

The certification provides Ruukki’s SP2D PIR sandwich panels with approval for use in structures over 18 metres in height, and verifies their compliance with the strictest fire and buildings regulations.

Commitment to Health and Safety

With health and safety their upmost priority, Ruukki considered it vital to ensure that the panels were fully compliant with fire regulations. Aware of the disastrous impact of fire within multi-storey complexes, Ruukki remain committed to the innovation, research and development of their products.

Compliance with Building Regulations Approved Document Part B

For buildings with a storey height in excess of 18 metres, Building Regulations Approved Document Part B requires that materials used are either defined as of ‘limited combustibility’, or that they are tested to BS 8414 and meet the requirements of BR135. BS 8414 is a test method for assessing the fire performance of non-loadbearing external cladding systems, rainscreen over-cladding systems, and external wall insulation systems.
