00Mission
Fixed to the frame.
Coated direct.
No plaster.
System C fixes 6 m reinforced panels outside steel or RC frames as non-load-bearing cladding. One panel replaces blockwork, plaster and insulation, carries 162 km/h wind, and takes coating directly. Most of the malls in Qatar are clad this way.
