Texlon®'s efficiency and lightness allow the creation of cladding envelopes that use less than 1% of the embodied energy of comparable technologies, for a better environmental performance.

The raw material is permitted under the Montreal Protocol and is not a petrochemical derivative. The production method incorporates an enclosed water based process and does not involve the use of any solvents. Texlon® is recyclable and many components are fabricated from recycled material.

Texlon® is unaffected by atmospheric pollution and UV light. The material does not harden, yellow, or deteriorate over time. This makes its use ideal for long life, low maintenance buildings such as hospitals, railway stations, leisure centres and botanical houses.

Proprietary detailing strategies, and our range of patented extrusions, ensure that building movement is accommodated across the whole surface of the cladding.

This strategy reduces stress concentration at movement joints and vastly increases gasket life. Texlon®'s ability to self cleanse under the action of rain further reduces cleaning costs to very low levels.

Texlon® cladding is a durable, highly energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology due to its low U values, optimized solar control and low embodied energy.
