This document provides information on Benchmark's façade systems, including 11 façade systems and 4 panel systems. It discusses several categories of façade systems such as metallics, glass, photovoltaics, ceramics, cementitious boards, wood, and brick. For the metallic systems, it describes 5 different metallic options and various cassette options. It also provides technical details and benefits of the metallic, glass, and photovoltaic façade systems. The document aims to showcase the variety of façade and building envelope solutions offered by Benchmark.

Cementitious Boards
Available in 3 options:
1. Natura Pro
• Natura Pro has a tactile, smooth surface which allows the natural variegation of the fibre cement finish to
be seen through the semi-translucent, pigmented coating.
• A UV cured top layer offers good protection against graffiti
2. Textura
• Textura combines vivid colour, texture and toughness in one fully compressed fibre cement cladding
panel. With a highly glazed, granular finish available in any factory-approved RAL colour, it is impact
resistant yet strong, light in weight and easy to use.
3. Pictura
• The new Pictura coating system incorporates an additional surface treatment for Fibre Cement panels.

drilling / self-tapping stainless steel fasteners or hook on hangers.
The secondary rail system is securely fastened to the Benchmark
Karrier Panel with expanding self-fixing aluminium and stainless
steel fasteners.
Through Fix - The boards are secured to the aluminium rail
system using coloured aluminium rivets.The rail system is securely
fastened to the Benchmark Karrier Panel with expanding self-fixing
aluminium and stainless steel fasteners.
Fixings
For the through fix option, rivets and screws are available in the
same colour as the panel, to disguise the fixings.

INTRODUCTION
The Wood Composite façade is a high pressure laminate cladding manufactured with a real wood veneer which exhibits all the natural
variation, warmth and beauty of real wood.
The panels are coated with a proprietary coating, based in synthetic resins and PVDF, which protect the panel from the effects of sunlight,
chemical attack (anti-graffiti) and the damage caused by atmospheric agents.
A smooth concealed fixing system can be used, and a through fix option is also available to create the desired look.

a sustainable source.
Anti-graffiti
Specifically designed to resist chemical attack (anti-graffiti),
the Wood Composite façade is BMTrada Q Marked
(Cert CE/F04151).
ProductTolerance
Thickness, length and width, edge straightness and squareness
are all in accordance with BS EN 438 (High-pressure decorative
laminates (HPL) Sheets based on thermosetting resins (Usually
called Laminates) Part 2: Determination of properties).
Aluminium Secondary Rail System
The extruded aluminium secondary rail system is tested to

alloys for general engineering purposes) in 6063/T6 grade alloy.
Attachment
The extruded aluminium straps tested to BS 1474 in 6063/T6
grade alloy are secured to the Wood Composite façade panel using
undercut stainless steel expanding anchors. Straps are secured to
the aluminium secondary rail system using self drilling / self tapping
stainless steel coated black screws.

ROOFLINER
INTRODUCTION
Roofliner is a PIR insulated roof panel that is ideal for standing seam finishes.The panels are specifically designed for zinc, stainless steel,
aluminium standing seam waterproofing systems and single ply membranes.
Roofliner insulated panels enhance weathertightness, thermal airtightness, fire resistance and the structural performance of a building.
Suitable for buildings with a pitch, a low-pitched roof slope and flat roof as well as curved with a convex and concave radius of 20 metres
when used on a frame-to-frame long spanning structure.
BENEFITS
• Quick and safe to install
• Ideal for zinc, stainless steel and aluminium standing seam
systems and single ply membranes
• Suitable for flat, low pitch and curved roofs
• Convex and Concave radius of 20 metres can be achieved
with the 600mm wide roofliner
• Available in a larger range of thicknesses
• Attractive flat internal liner profile
• Lifetime insulation continuity, thermal performance and
airtightness (less than 5m3
/hr/m2
) certainty
• Available with theTotal Benchmark Guarantee
• Manufactured and supplied under a quality system certified
to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000

INTRODUCTION
Topspan is a PIR insulated roof deck combining a structural deck and a metal top sheet into one product.The panels complement zinc,
stainless steel, aluminium standing seam waterproofing systems and single-ply membrane.
Topspan provides a clear span capability of up to 8 metres and is faster to install than alternative built-up roof deck systems.The internal
face of the deck is pre-finished with a fresh white inner finish, providing a smooth clean interior.Topspan is suitable for flat or curved roof
applications and is available with theTotal Benchmark Guarantee, offering protection for thermal and structural performance.
