Aluminium Cladding

High-Performance Aluminium Cladding Systems – NES Architectural

Aluminium cladding is a long-standing favourite in modern architecture due to its durability, lightweight profile, design flexibility and fully recyclable properties. Whether you're working on a commercial building, educational institution, or bespoke facade, NES offers tailored aluminium cladding systems to meet your vision.

Our aluminium panels can be enhanced with a complete selection of premium metal finishes—including anodised, brushed, powder-coated, or digitally printed options—delivering both aesthetic impact and long-lasting protection.

Precision Fabrication for Seamless Results

Using cutting-edge capacitor discharge stud welding technology and advanced MIG/TIG welding techniques, we eliminate unsightly surface fixings. All joints are hand-finished and dressed back seamlessly, giving your building envelope a sleek and uninterrupted finish.

We can fabricate panels up to 8 metres long from a single aluminium sheet. These large-format panels reduce joint lines and offer a bold, modern appearance—ideal for contemporary architecture, public buildings, and high-impact corporate facades.

Expertise in Aluminium Cladding – Design, Fabrication & Finishes

At NES Architectural, we specialise in delivering high-quality, architecturally striking aluminium cladding systems for commercial, educational, cultural, and transport-sector buildings. Our experience spans from complex high-rise curtain wall systems to bespoke feature panels for smaller installations.

Aluminium is a top choice for rain screen cladding due to its combination of strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, and sustainability. It’s widely specified for both new builds and refurbishment projects thanks to its adaptability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Tailored Solutions for Complex Projects

We work closely with architects, façade engineers, and contractors to provide tailored aluminium panel systems that meet exacting design and performance requirements. Whether you require a ventilated rain screen system or a unitised curtain wall approach, our in-house fabrication capabilities allow for full control of detailing, finishes, and tolerances.

We also offer technical advice on fixings, fire compliance, substructure tolerances, and weatherproofing strategies. This ensures every aluminium panel system integrates seamlessly with the wider façade or envelope package.

Advanced Fabrication and Finishing

Our workshop includes capacitor discharge stud welding equipment and highly experienced TIG/MIG welders, allowing us to produce large-format aluminium panels (up to 8 metres long) with hidden fixings and dressed welds. This creates sleek, modern surfaces without visible fasteners or weld marks.

We support a broad range of finishes, including:

  • Anodised aluminium
  • Brushed, polished or chemically treated finishes
  • Polyester powder coated aluminium
  • Perforated graphical, backlit and textured effects

These finishes are popular with architects and developers who want to balance aesthetics with long-term durability, colourfastness, and minimal maintenance.

Environmental Responsibility

Aluminium cladding supports sustainable building practices. Our materials are fully recyclable and can be specified with a high recycled content. Where desired, we can provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and advice for achieving BREEAM and LEED targets.

Key Advantages of Aluminium Rain Screen Cladding

  • Rapid installation reduces site programme time
  • Available in a wide choice of finishes and colours
  • Low maintenance and high weather resistance
  • Excellent thermal, fire and acoustic performance when installed correctly
  • Lightweight material reduces structural loads

Our aluminium systems are engineered to the highest quality standards and have been used in some of the UK’s most demanding architectural settings. Whether you're working on a landmark headquarters, a university campus, or a transport hub, we can deliver a solution that performs and impresses.

The more information that can be provided, the faster, more accurate and definitive we can be with our pricing.
Ideally, a full drop box including CAD, .pdf, architectural visualisations and NBS Specifications will be provided.
Typically we like to offer a range of materials, fixing systems and finishes.

These should be broken down into:
• Survey
• Design (drawing up, workshop drawings and structural calculations)
• Manufacture
• Installation.

For jobs under 100 square meters we would generally offer a supply only price. This is due to the project overheads of RAMS, project managers, legal contractual’s, credit insurance, design detailing, site liability insurance etc. We have a list of accredited installation contractors through the UK that we can make available in these instances.
