Cupa Pizarras introduces three slate facade systems at VDF products fair

The contemporary Cupaclad 201 Vanguard series is one of three cladding systems shown by Cupa Pizarras at VDF products fair that put natural slate in the spotlight.

The roofing and cladding manufacturer is also showcasing its understated Cupaclad 101 Logic system alongside the textured Cupaclad 101 Random range – both of which are fixed with hidden screws.

All three series, now viewable at the VDF products fair, are designed for use across all architectural projects and function as ventilated facades to help improve a building's energy efficiency.

The Cupaclad 101 Logic system is designed for balance and simplicity

Cupaclad 201 Vanguard is Cupa Pizarras' boldest facade system, which it has developed to help users add "a modern touch" to projects.

The system marries large, horizontal slabs of natural slate with stainless steel brackets that are left exposed for a statement finish.

The most textured system is Cupaclad 101 Random, which combines three different sized slabs

Cupaclad 101 Logic and Cupaclad 101 Random are both designed to celebrate the natural textures of slate and rely on a system with concealed, self-drilling screws to help retain focus on the material.

The differences are that Cupaclad 101 Logic relies on consistently-sized slabs to deliver a "simple, balanced" aesthetic, while the Cupaclad 101 Random system comprises three different sizes of slate that can be overlapped and randomly arranged for a more "dynamic" finish.

Caesar Ceramics is another company that has introduced its latest surfacing collections at VDF products fair. Among the four porcelain surfacing collections are a range of tiles called Enchant that evoke aged and painted wood, and the Shapes of Italy range that resembles stone.

Other brands that have unveiled new designs include Danish brands Fritz Hansen and Muuto and Austrian bike brand Vello.

Cupaclad 201 Vanguard by Cupa Pizarras

VDF products fair: Cupa Pizarras' Cupaclad 201 Vanguard facade system contrasts natural slate with stainless steel fixtures to offer users a contemporary aesthetic.

Cupaclad 201 Vanguard is intended for use as a ventilated facade system that helps to improve the energy efficiency of a building, while also offering a clean and contemporary finish.

It is composed of slender slabs of slate, measuring 60 by 30 centimetres, which are installed horizontally and secured by two visible stainless steel brackets. For ease of installation, the metal rails onto which the slate is fixed are marked where the brackets should be placed.

Natural slate was chosen for the system for its durability and natural aesthetic, which Cupa Pizarras believes "fits perfectly into the contemporary architectural trends" and is suited to all types of architecture projects.

"The Cupaclad 201 Vanguard rainscreen cladding system stands out due to its stainless steel clips, which are slightly visible at the bottom, contrasting with our natural slate," said the cladding and roofing manufacturer.

"The result is sustainable cladding with a modern touch."

Cupaclad 101 Logic by Cupa Pizarras

VDF products fair: natural slate is the focal point of the Cupaclad 101 Logic rainscreen cladding system, designed by Cupa Pizarras to be secured with hidden fixings.

Cupaclad 101 Logic was developed by cladding and roofing manufacturer Cupa Pizarras to celebrate the natural textures of slate and offer designers a "simple, balanced" aesthetic for their building projects.

The facade system is made with slabs measuring 40 by 20 centimetres, which are applied horizontally and fixed with concealed self-drilling screws. Made from stainless steel, these screws were developed by Cupa Pizarras to avoid visually impacting the design.

"Cupaclad 101 Logic facade systems enable the construction of efficient, sustainable rainscreen cladding," said the company.

"The rainscreen cladding system gives any facade balance, combines ideally with other materials and flaunts natural slate's texture and sheen."

Cupaclad 101 Logic is prefabricated to ensure an efficient and secure installation process, while also helping to reduce waste. Alongside the use of natural slate, this ensures the system is "the ecological option for facade cladding," according to Cupa Pizarras.

Cupaclad 101 Random by Cupa Pizarras

VDF products fair: the Cupaclad 101 Random rainscreen cladding system by Cupa Pizarras combines overlapping slabs of slate in different sizes to create textured and "dynamic" facades.

Cupaclad 101 Random is designed for use in any architectural project and, once installed, functions as a ventilated facade system – a type of construction that sees the outer layer of a facade physically separated from the inner wall for energy efficiency.

The system is available with natural slate in three different sizes – 50 by 25 centimetres, 50 by 20 centimetres and finally 50 by 15 centimetres – which can be randomly arranged across the facade.

The slabs are fitted horizontally in overlapping positions using concealed self-drilling steel fixings. These fixtures help to retain focus on the slate, and are also designed to reduce installation times.

"Cupaclad 101 Random is an innovative rainscreen cladding system that combines the high quality and natural beauty of slate with the efficiency of ventilated facades," explained Cupa Pizarras.

"It provides a wide range of possibilities, suiting any individual design and adapting to any surface."
