A new slimline façade
panel from Petrarch combines aesthetics with sustainability.
An innovative slimline cladding panel manufactured in
the UK from reconstituted stone has been launched by leading
rainscreen solutions supplier Petrarch to help architects and
specifiers marry façade aesthetics with sustainability.
Petrarch PlanX is a refined, slimline panel pre-cut into
sleek, lightweight profiles available in three standard sizes
- 1209mm x 147mm, 1514mm x 147mm and 2428mm x 147mm – as well
as custom sizes up to 2428mm x 300mm. |
 |
| Supporting a
retrofit ethic, Petrarch PlanX is created from off-cuts from
principal panel fabrication wherever feasible. In an age where
re-using construction materials wherever possible is more
important than ever, contemporary PlanX leads the way for both
new-build and refurbishment projects. |
| Created to not only
support modern design aesthetics but also to optimise material
use and minimise waste, Petrarch PlanX was designed
specifically to meet the demands of contemporary architecture,
all while maintaining the Petrarch brand’s trusted durability,
performance and environmental credentials. |
| These have evolved
over more than half a century to offer an industry-leading
50-year guarantee and recent BRE EPD certification to
reinforce the company’s commitment to transparency and
sustainability. |
| The Petrarch
rainscreen cladding system is renowned for its resilience,
excelling rigorous CWCT testing and standing up to the
harshest environmental conditions. With Petrarch PlanX, these
qualities remain intact, underpinned by the same unwavering
technical strength, fire resistance and extreme durability -
just in a more streamlined format. |
| Beyond its
sustainability credentials, Petrarch PlanX enhances facade
functionality. As a high-performing rainscreen, it plays a
critical role in water management while delivering a sleek
aesthetic. Its adaptability allows for application across a
range of projects, from high-end residential developments and
large-scale commercial schemes to education and healthcare
projects. |
| Manufactured in
Hastings for over five decades, Petrarch’s reconstituted stone
is predominantly composed of crushed marble and stone -
up-cycled material that would otherwise go to landfill. PlanX
furthers this eco-conscious approach. |
| Designed for
architects who prioritise both aesthetic impact and
responsible sourcing, Petrarch PlanX embodies the evolution of
facade materials. Its production process champions
sustainability by repurposing high-quality, by-product marble
and stone, aligning with the increasing demand for
environmentally responsible building solutions. |
| Petrarch Sales
Director Tom Walker said: “Petrarch PlanX is a material that
speaks to the future. It blends the timeless appeal of stone
with modern, sustainable innovation, offering architects and
specifiers a facade solution that is as sophisticated as it is
responsible.” |
