Cladding & Roof Options

From architectural PVDF membranes to industrial steel sheeting, we offer high-performance cladding systems designed for longevity and efficiency.

Performance Fabrics

Engineered for Extremes

Champion utilizes the highest quality industrial textiles to create a durable, weather-tight envelope. Our primary cladding material is a high-tenacity polyester base fabric coated with PVC and finished with a PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) topcoat for superior UV resistance and self-cleaning properties.

We provide a wide range of weights, from 610 gsm for standard applications up to 1450 gsm for heavy-duty architectural projects, ensuring your building can withstand the harshest environmental conditions.

🌞

Natural Translucency

White membranes allow up to 15% natural light transmission, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Thermal Control

Insulated multi-layer membrane systems provide superior R-values for climate-controlled environments.

Materials

Cladding Systems & Components

Choose the right balance of durability, insulation, and aesthetics for your specific project requirements.

Single-Skin PVC

Economic and durable. PVC / PVDF, 610 up to 1450 gsm options for varied climate needs.

Insulated Membrane

A dual-layer system with trapped air or glass wool insulation for cold storage or workshops.

Steel Sheeting

Corrugated steel panels for end-walls or sidewalls where impact resistance and security are paramount.

PVDF Topcoat

Advanced lacquer finish that prevents dirt accumulation and resists industrial chemical exposure.

Hybrid Cladding

Combine steel lower walls for security with translucent membrane roofs for natural lighting.

Blackout Membrane

Opaque membrane layers for cinema, theater, or sensitive storage requiring zero light ingress.

Fabrication

Precision Membrane Engineering

Our state-of-the-art facility ensures every panel is welded for maximum strength.

1

Pattern Design

CAD software generates precise 3D patterns to ensure the membrane fits the steel frame perfectly.

2

CNC Cutting

Automated cutting tables translate CAD designs into fabric panels with millimetre precision.

3

HF Welding

High-frequency welding creates a molecular bond between panels that is stronger than the fabric itself.

4

Final Tensioning

Expert technicians pre-tension the membrane on a test jig to verify weld integrity and fit.

Performance

Why Champion Cladding?

01

Low Maintenance

Self-cleaning PVDF surfaces allow rain to wash away dust and debris effectively.

02

Energy Savings

Highly reflective white surfaces reduce solar heat gain and lower cooling costs.

03

Acoustic Comfort

Flexible membrane cladding naturally dampens sound compared to rigid steel buildings.

04

Color Options

Standard white, beige, grey, or custom branding colors available for projects.

FAQ

Cladding FAQ

Yes. All our membranes are treated with flame retardants and meet international standards like NFPA 701, DIN 4102 B1, and M2.

Depending on the environmental conditions and the gsm grade, our PVDF membranes typically have a design life of 15 to 25 years.

Absolutely. We offer dual-layer membrane systems that can accommodate glass wool or other insulation materials to create a climate-controlled interior.
