The QuadroClad® façade system is a unique, open-jointed cladding system based on the principles of rainscreen façade technology. The lightweight skins are fused to a honeycomb aluminium core that provides extreme panel strength and flatness. They are engineered to deliver both outstanding looks and excellent functionality, QuadroClad® panels and components have been designed to perform in even the most challenging of environments and have been independently tested for corrosion resistance, fire resistance and wind-load performance.
Why QuadroClad® Systems?
Custom shapes, curved and tapered panels, a variety of joint options and an extensive range of colours and different materials give you unparalleled creative freedom. Whatever the design shape or requirement at Hunter Douglas we believe we can produce it. Every QuadroClad® façade system is made to measure and manufactured in a controlled factory environment. This process guarantees optimum performance with no waste or time consuming processes when on site.

Hunter Douglas contributes to sustainable buildings through aesthetic solutions that enhance comfort and save energy. Promoting health and wellbeing of their occupants is arguably the most important function of buildings. Buildings are not constructed just to be energy efficient. Our shading solutions promote the use of healthy daylight without the hindrances of glare and thermal discomfort. Our acoustic ceilings are a key element in the provision of acoustic comfort.
Environmentally sound materials are key to sustainable buildings. Our strategy is to pick materials that have good environmental properties to start with. Many of our products are made of aluminum produced in our own smelters. We’ve optimized our processes to use up to 99% of recycled content to produce the right alloy for our products. Our wood is FSC certified and we embrace the Cradle to Cradle principle in our product development.
Reducing the energy use of the total building stock is key to the prevention of global warming. Most modern office buildings use more energy for cooling than heating. Effectively managing the solar energy that passes through the transparent part of the façade is a key strategy in the prevention of overheating in both old and new buildings. Our high performance shading solutions bring substantial energy savings, while at the same time promoting health and wellbeing.
Keen on Green is an important company-wide initiative to reduce energy consumption, water usage and our overall carbon-footprint. We embrace the ISO 14001 framework to actively manage our Keen on Green objectives. Hunter Douglas and its employees actively support the communities in which we live and work, as well as those on a more global scale. Business is people. We pride ourselves on our worldwide network of experienced, intelligent, passionate and creative people that have consciously chosen Hunter Douglas as their employer.
