Fiber Cement Rainscreens

Two great companies – Swisspearl® and Cladding Corp – have joined forces to serve as the premium fiber cement rainscreen solution in North America. Architects, installers, and owners now have the premier fiber cement panel from Swisspearl, combined with a fully engineered rainscreen system by Cladding Corp. And, as of 2023, Cembrit rebranded itself as Swisspearl®, offering an expansion of the Swisspearl Patina product portfolio as the Authentic Range, now available in North America officially through Claddinging Corp - the 1st Name in Rainscreen.

FOR SWISSPEARL® - THERE IS ONLY ONE SOURCE

Cladding Corp is the official North American source for Swisspearl High-density Fiber Cement (HDFC) products, delivering direct access to Swisspearl’s high-performance architectural panels engineered for durability, sustainability, and timeless design. From initial specification to final installation, successful Swisspearl projects are specified, supplied, and supported officially by Cladding Corp - The 1st Name in Rainscreen as the leading supplier of Swisspearl in North America.

In line with Cladding Corp's vision for elemental materials from the "ground-up," Swisspearl is proudly made up of natural raw materials from the Swiss mountains: cement, pulverized limestone, water, and air.  In addition, less energy is consumed during the manufacture of Swisspearl panels, as compared to many other leading building materials. Swisspearl facades can be easily installed to retrofit or reclad existing structures, as well as be effortlessly removed when it is time for a new design direction. And with a lifespan of over 40 years, Swisspearl improves both the ecological and economic outcomes of every building envelope.

The Cladding Corp approach to Swisspearl HDFC delivers:

• National Availability: Cladding Corp maintains comprehensive Swisspearl HDFC inventory to ensure reliable delivery and seamless execution on projects across North America.
• Industry Authority:  With more than 30 years of experience, Cladding Corp is the trusted partner to architects, contractors, and wall consultants specifying Swisspearl systems.
• Proven Sustainability & Performance:  Swisspearl fiber cement panels are environmentally responsible, weather-resistant, and design-versatile - meeting the demands of modern architectural design.
• End-to-End Technical Support: Cladding Corp’s expertise extends beyond the panels, providing full-service support for fabrication, subframing systems, and complete building envelope integration.

Not all fiber cement panels are created equally.

Swisspearl® offers a large portfolio of products that are air-cured, a process where cement-based products cure naturally, with a 28-day curing process, that uses saves energy and reduces internal panel stress. An air-cured fiber cement product is always superior to an autoclaved product, as the panels are dried naturally over time, allowing for natural chemical bonding of the fibers and taking out the added heat energy and internal panel stress. When performance, durability, and sustainability matter, High-Density Fiber Cement (HDFC) stands out as the superior choice for modern construction. Compared to Medium-Density Fiber Cement (MDFC), HDFC offers significantly enhanced strength, durability, and resistance—making it ideal for demanding exterior applications, especially in ventilated rainscreen façade systems.

End-to-end Fabrication and Subframing System Support

Cladding Corp's engineered systems give architects and installers the needed resources to design intelligent rainscreen walls that address deep cavity systems, continuous insulation (c.i.) and other code and industry standards. Our systems for fiber cement cladding, in partnership with ECO Cladding, are also designed to give architects aesthetic freedom to incorporate concealed, lap-siding, or visible attachments. There are many companies promoting fiber cement panels, but only Cladding Corp has the premier fiber cement panel plus an engineered assembly solution that guarantees optimal performance and aesthetics.
