CupaClad's system is designed to provide superior thermal and acoustic insulation while also protecting the building from environmental elements such as moisture and water damage. Their Natural slate system is also made from non-combustible materials that are impact resistance and earthquake resistant. According to CupaClad, their systems have been "specially designed to resist structural movements without cracking, providing stability and security to the building." 

Take the SNHU College of Engineering, Technology & Aeronautics, designed by Wilson HGA in 2020 and Skanska construction group. The project utilized CupaClad's natural slate rainscreen cladding system to work with the site's cold New England winters and seasons.

The CUPACLAD® 101 RANDOM system uses "self-drilling stainless steel screws with large diameter flat heads, specially selected by our engineers to guarantee perfect fixing and to reduce installation times." Installed horizontally, the slates are attached using concealed screws that allow design teams to "install various shapes and sizes of slates and are totally concealed behind the slates in the row above, allowing the natural slate to shine out on its own."

What makes CupaClad's rainscreen system different from other facade manufacturing companies is its versatility and adaptability. The panels come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses and can be installed in both horizontal and vertical orientations. This allows architects and designers to create a wide range of façade designs, from sleek and modern to rustic and traditional, depending on the desired aesthetic effect.
