Leading designer and manufacturer of engineered metal rain screen cladding and architectural fabrications, Sotech, has this weekend extended their BIM offering on bimstore even further. Sotech only joined bimstore last month and this is now the third update to their BIM content!

Based in the North East but working on commercial projects across the UK, Sotech is the sole carriers of the advanced Optima range of rain screen cladding systems, which is produced in their on-site manufacturing facility. Established since 1982, Sotech works closely with architects, installers and contractors from the whole of the UK to understand their needs and provide the most suitable rain screen cladding solution, with a wide range of materials and finishes available.

New on bimstore this week is the Optima XPC (Extruded Plank Rainscreen)

The Optima XPC is a complete secretly fixed extruded aluminium plank rainscreen system that has set flat face modules of 150mm, 200mm, 225mm, and 250mm as well as a 150mm module castellated extruded aluminium plank rainscreen. As the longitudinal joint is not ventilated this product can be used as a weathered screen introducing ventilation at the base of a wall and at the top or some ventilation can be introduced at the cross plank joints by leaving a gap with the support structure behind creating a baffle.

This download contains Revit components for the Sotech Optima XPC, 200mm Extruded Plank rainscreen system. Components include user selectable features and guidance regarding coping and drip flashings, various panel thicknesses as well as internal/external corner panels and window openings. Please refer to the included user guide for guidance on using the Sotech Optima XPC Rainscreen System.To find out more about Sotech why not visit their website, or to see their full range of available BIM objects visit their manufacturer profile page right here on bimstore now!
