Facade
Materials
We specialise in the design, engineering and manufacture of bespoke fabrications in a range of materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, zinc and brass.
A facade can make or break a building’s standing in the community. There are many that settle for conventional facade designs which perfectly meet Building Regulations and functional requirements, but which can lack identity and character. A facade’s function is to not only act as an external barrier between the inside and the outside but can also play a huge role in creating stand out and appeal. It makes a statement to the outside world which links the exterior building with the interior design.
As a leading manufacturer in our field, we understand the importance of working closely with architects, clients, customers and suppliers to build long-lasting working relationships that allow us to provide the very best engineered solutions.
State-of-the-art Design
A design driven strategy is at the forefront of all our operations, ensuring that innovation and quality are at the core of our systems. We design, manufacture and supply a massive range of products including rainscreen cladding, specialist fabrications, solar shading and facade support systems using a range of different metals to meet our customers’ bespoke requirements.

Our Range of Materials
Brass
Brass is any alloy of mainly copper and zinc; however, other products such as aluminium/lead can also be added. The proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties.
Composite Materials
The use of composite materials for the cladding industry began in the late 60’s when Alcan introduced ALUCOBOND®, this composite panel is made up of a mineral core sandwiched between 2 skins of 0.5mm thick aluminium alloy.
Copper
Pure copper is soft and malleable, and a freshly-exposed surface has a pinkish or peachy colour. Copper compounds are known in several oxidation states, usually +2, where they often impart blue or green colours to natural minerals such as turquoise and have been used widely as pigments.
Cor-Ten®
COR-TEN® is a proprietary weathering steel similar to those listed in EN10025-5. The anti-corrosive properties are better than those found in other structural steels. Alloying elements form a tight oxide layer or patina that constantly regenerates under the effects of the weather.
Galvanised Steel
PSP supply a range of A1 & A2 Rainscreen Cladding Systems in a multitude of different materials and finishes dependent upon client requirements. A popular choice is Galvanised Steel Rainscreen Cladding.
Pre-Coated Steel
PSP stock a range of pre-coated galvanised steel in a selection of finishes including Tata Steel’s Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® and Colorcoat Prisma®, as well as 200XT, Spectrum, and PVF2.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steels combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and workability makes it an excellent choice for architects. Modern technology for material processing and finishing gives an even wider choice ranging from standard mill finish through to several grades of brushed and polished finishes.
Zinc
PSP supply a range of A1 & A2 Rainscreen Cladding Systems in a multitude of different materials and finishes dependent upon client requirements. A popular choice is Galvanised Steel Rainscreen Cladding.
