Have you heard about Downer Designer?
More and more rainscreen framing clients are taking advantage of our free to use online tool.
Part of the Architectural Panel Solutions brand family, leading UK manufacturer Downer Framing has launched Downer Designer, a next-generation, dedicated, free-to-use platform for the real-time development, creation and costing of rainscreen cladding framing systems.
Downer Framing, the original Helping Hand framing solution, was one of the first rainscreen cladding framing systems on the UK market. BBA- approved, tested to the extreme, and made in Britain Downer’s factory in Hastings, it set the benchmark back in 1988 and it's still revolutionising and impressing the market to this day.
Now the company has launched Downer Designer, a free-to-use online tool which enables specialist contractors, designers and specifiers to outline their project-specific rainscreen requirements to generate optimised framing calculations and configurations. All of which are stored and managed in their own personal online portal. Users simply enter the information they know, along with any detail-specific needs for new-build or refurbishment projects in any sector.
The technical team at Downer Framing will then provide static and thermal calculations, relevant costings, optimised component and fixing configurations, as well as NBS specification, which can be printed off or saved as a pdf. The user process can take as little as ten minutes, and the Downer technical team aim to have a Project Pack ready within just 24 hours.
In addition to this extensive investment in innovation, APS has also recruited a leading and highly experienced technical team. Led at the helm by Juan Barato, Technical Director, supported by Nick Eckers - Technical Manager, and Graham Webber - Technical Advisor. This adept technical team is on-hand to help Downer Framing's customers with the most challenging framing calculations and project queries.
