FTI announces industry’s first mechanical guarantee for cladding!

August 16th 2016

With traditional metal cladding systems, damage is highly likely during construction and through the service lifetime of the product. This compromises the cladding system, allowing water ingress and then subsequent corrosion under insulation (CUI) issues. Alternative soft, non-metallic cladding systems offer little mechanical protection and often hide the fact that the insulation underneath has been damaged.

By contrast, operators and yards using FTI’s unique FibaClad systems for insulation protection have found that it withstands foot traffic and even extreme mechanical abuse during the construction phase and in operation. This means that, over the past twenty years, FTI has experienced an extremely low amount of mechanical damage requiring rework.

Mechanical Guarantee

Consequently, we are proud to announce what we believe to be the industry’s first mechanical guarantee for insulation cladding. We will replace the product, free of charge, in any FibaClad system which has received mechanical damage during normal construction procedures or during a subsequent service period of two years (not including malicious damage*).

Key features and benefits

• no material replacement cost
• no yard and operator conflict
• construction schedules maintained
