Lace cladding reveals secrets

Roundal, the specialist in aluminum reveal cladding, offers innovative solutions for all building situations. At Architect@Work, the Ursus brand was once again put on the map, explains Managing Director Jan De Paepe. "This is where we introduced the Day Lace Bible. A technical handbook created especially for the architect and the construction professional." 

The market for siding is booming, says Jan. "Previously, this was mainly used by architects with a leading role, who thought it was beautiful and therefore wanted to use it. However, new construction methods have made it a necessity to finish the extra space around the window. Fortunately, Roundal's sash cladding can do this in a beautiful way! Feel free to call it accent architecture. With Roundal daylight edging, as an architect you add something extraordinary to your design."

Standardized customization for each project

The energy standards when building a home creates a different methodology. This creates larger distances around the window. "Day side cladding can be ideally combined with the insulated or ventilated facade. We currently offer five different types (a sixth type will be added in 2024, ed.) that both provide a solution for all possible building situations. Standardized customization is the message: depending on the timing and type of facade, we can easily respond to specific project requirements."  

Roundal's siding thus provides a solution to a contemporary challenge in construction. According to Jan, this is why architects have a great need for technical information on this product. "They often cannot get their fingers around this and cannot find the detailed technical data anywhere. We have therefore decided to start exposing some of our secrets in the Day Lace Bible. I don't know anyone who has ever been the worse for sharing knowledge, so we're just going to do that!" 

"With the Day Lace Bible, we take work off the architect's hands," says Jan proudly. "So that he can get to work with reveal cladding right away." 

The reference book is divided into five chapters, which refer to the different day edge systems: Roundal Welded, Roundal Bolted, Roundal Slim, Roundal Modular and Roundal Combi. From welded systems to budget-friendly solutions. "Just stop looking for detailing, here it is! The book contains the technical information, but of course the guide prices for tendering are also available from us. These two elements will help the architect immensely. Anyone requiring further information or support can contact Marcel Helthuis, our account manager for the Netherlands (marcel.helthuis@ursus.be)."

The day side Bible is available for free, through the Roundal website.
