Vitreous enamel, also called porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C (1,380 and 1,560 °F). The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating. The word comes from the Latin vitreum, meaning “glassy”,More info:wiki

Vitreous enamel cladding is one of the most reliable and hard-wearing materials used in the architecture and construction industry today. It is a zero-fire rated and zero smoke rated material that can be manufactured as either flat or flanged tray panels to form an architectural cladding finish, artwork installation or a rain shield system.

Why use vitreous enamel cladding?

Vitreous enamel cladding is a long term, extremely durable and robust cladding material – in fact, it is virtually indestructible! We design, manufacture, and install fully customisable and bespoke cladding or rain shield systems. The panels are extremely versatile and can be used to solve a number of issues.

Vitreous enamel cladding emits zero smoke, and is fire retardant. It is resistant to graffiti damage, and weather resistant in extreme climates. When used on buildings it forms high strength architectural cladding panels that can be guaranteed for 25 years. This type of cladding is specified in commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects around the world – railway stations, underground stations, airport terminals. tunnels, shopping malls. corporate offices, and as cladding for commercial and residential buildings.
