VISO: Flat Panel Rainscreen System

This £1.5 million façade reclad at Global Point, Nottingham, was delivered as part of a wider upgrade to improve both the performance and appearance of the existing residential building.

The project involved the replacement of existing ACM panels with approximately 2,500m² of 3mm solid aluminium panels, providing a more robust, compliant and durable façade solution. The use of solid aluminium supports improved fire performance while ensuring long-term reliability in a high-rise environment.

A flat panel rainscreen approach, aligned with Finish Facades’ Viso system, was utilised to deliver a cost-effective and efficient installation. Manufactured in-house, the panels were produced to suit the specific requirements of the building, ensuring a consistent finish across the façade.

In addition, bespoke punch art perforated panels were supplied and installed adjacent to window openings. These elements introduce visual interest and variation across the elevation, while maintaining cohesion with the overall façade design.

Combining performance-driven materials with bespoke detailing, the scheme delivers a modernised external envelope that enhances both safety and the building’s visual presence.
