Soffit Cladding

Advanced Glass: Soffit Cladding

Finishing Critical Façade Interfaces with Precision and Durability

Soffit cladding plays a key role in completing the building envelope, providing a durable and visually consistent finish to overhangs, entrance recesses, and façade interfaces. When correctly designed and installed, soffits protect underlying structures while contributing to the overall performance and appearance of the façade.

Advanced Glass supplies and installs soffit cladding as part of fully coordinated façade packages, ensuring seamless integration with glazing, curtain walling, canopies, and rainscreen systems.

Design and Interface Coordination

Soffit cladding typically interfaces with multiple elements, including curtain walling heads, window systems, canopies, and external wall build-ups. Accurate detailing is essential to manage tolerances, drainage, and movement while maintaining clean visual lines.

Our design team develops detailed drawings that consider fixing strategies, substrate conditions, access requirements, and long-term maintenance. Early coordination helps reduce on-site adjustments and ensures buildability across complex façade junctions.

Performance and Compliance

Soffit cladding must support both functional and regulatory requirements. Advanced Glass designs soffit solutions to align with:

  • Fire performance requirements in accordance with Approved Document B
  • Durability and exposure considerations
  • Safe installation and maintenance access in line with Approved Document K
  • Compatibility with the surrounding façade systems

Where required, materials and finishes are selected to meet fire classification and environmental exposure demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aluminium windows offer durability, low maintenance, excellent thermal efficiency, and modern aesthetics, making them ideal for commercial applications.

Yes, modern aluminium windows feature thermal break technology to improve insulation, achieving low U-values meeting Part L building regulations and often exceeding it.

Options include double or triple glazing, solar control glass, acoustic glass, laminated safety glass, and enhanced security glass, depending on performance needs.

Yes, commercial aluminium windows can be PAS 24 certified and meet Secured by Design standards with multi-point locking systems with reinforced frames.

When properly maintained, aluminium windows can last 30 – 40 years, due to their corrosion resistance and high-quality powder-coated finishes.

Yes, they are available in a wide range of RAL colours, anodised finishes, and different configurations, including casement, tilt-and-turn, and sliding options.

Aluminium windows are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, with high wind load resistance and water-tightness ratings to ensure long-term performance.

Minimal maintenance is needed – just the occasional cleaning and lubrication of moving parts is required to help ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Yes, aluminium is up to 100% recyclable, and many modern aluminium window systems use recycled materials, supporting sustainable building practices.

Lead times vary depending on customisation and project size, but standard windows typically take 12 – 16 weeks for design, manufacturing and delivery.
