Facades Camden

Exposure to weather, moisture and temperature variation can degrade the fabric of a building over time. Rainscreen cladding systems provide a protective outer layer while improving thermal efficiency and acoustic performance.

In Camden, where residential and mixed-use developments sit alongside historic streetscapes, OCL design and install rainscreen systems in a broad range of materials and finishes, including Aluminium, Stone, Timber, Composite, Terracotta, Zinc, GRC and Brick Slip.

We advise on system selection, fire performance and detailing to ensure rainscreen solutions integrate seamlessly within Camden’s varied architectural context.

Steel Framing Systems (SFS) offer a highly efficient structural solution for low- to mid-rise developments, particularly where programme certainty and build efficiency are key considerations.

Manufactured from cold-rolled, galvanised steel, SFS provides a lightweight yet robust framework for insulation, external cladding and internal finishes. Pre-fabrication reduces waste and supports efficient construction on constrained Camden sites.

OCL deliver a complete SFS service, from structural design through to installation, supported by manufacturer-backed warranties.

OCL are approved applicators for specialist render systems from leading manufacturers including Alsecco, Envirowall, Sto and Weber.

These modern render solutions offer flexibility in colour, texture and finish, and can be applied directly to masonry or incorporated within insulated facade systems. Their durability and crack resistance make them well suited to high-occupancy residential environments.

Our technical expertise ensures render systems are specified and applied to deliver long-term performance while complementing Camden’s architectural character.

OCL are approved installers for curtain walling systems from Aluprof, Metal Technologies, Reynaers, SAPA and Schueco.

We deliver a comprehensive range of glazed facade systems, including capped, silicone-glazed, structural bolted, free-span and fire-rated solutions. Each system is carefully selected to meet the performance, compliance and design requirements of Camden-based developments.

Every curtain walling installation is planned with precision to ensure long-term performance, safety and visual coherence.

Aluminium Windows
OCL install aluminium window systems from leading manufacturers including Aluprof, Metal Technologies, Reynaers, SAPA and Schueco. Aluminium provides strength, slim profiles and durability, making it ideal for contemporary residential and mixed-use schemes.

Aluminium Timber Composite Windows
We also install aluminium timber composite windows from Ideal Combi, Lieb, NorDan, Internorm, Uniform Architectural and Velfac. These systems combine external durability with internal warmth, delivering excellent thermal performance with U-values as low as 0.7 W/m²K.

To complement our facade solutions, OCL provide bespoke architectural metalwork services, including balconies, balustrades, mesh facades, louvres and brise soleil.

These elements are designed, manufactured and installed to integrate seamlessly with the wider facade, supporting cohesive building design across Camden’s varied residential and mixed-use developments.
