Fire- & blast resistant cladding
Reliable solutions for extreme conditions
We offer quality cladding systems made from aluminium, galvanized steel, stainless steel 316L or Duplex stainless steel. Our materials are chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and superior performance. Cladding systems can be used for a variety of purposes: windshields, blast relief, heatshields, underdecks and louvres.
Windshield cladding
Standard windshield cladding is single-skin corrugated sheeting with standard profile height of 35 mm. This sheeting can easily be fixed to supporting rails with stainless steel, self-tapping bolts. Special gaskets can be used to separate dissimilar materials (where required) to avoid galvanic corrosion. The maximum unsupported span of cladding is approximately 1800 mm.Windshield cladding is also available with perforated designs for specific ventilation situations. If openings in the cladding are required, we can also provide cladding with windshield doors (both sliding and hinged types).
Blast relief cladding
Blast relief cladding is based on windshield cladding with the addition of blast relief bolts. The blast relief bolting is designed in-house by InterDam. When required, the cladding can be designed to remain in place during a blast event.Heatshield cladding
Heatshield cladding panels are based on a single skin type (stainless steel 316L) and supplied complete with framing, if required. The panels are bolted to back-up framing. The heatshield panels will meet the following criteria (at a minimum):- Up to a 75% reduction in radiation from the external face to the internal face
- Visibility through the panels
- Natural ventilation through the panels
Louvres
Louvres are a prefabricated system made from aluminium, stainless steel or pre-coated galvanised steel consisting of louvre blades with brackets or a completely framed design. Louvre design is optimised with regards to pressure drop and air flow. The blades will be a profiled type and fixed by either welding or bolting to the panel framing.Cladding types
