Decorative column casings and building linings are key aspects of the retail environment and
Encasement products are installed in a diverse range of projects including many well-known brands, including Porsche, ASDA, Kia Motors, Tesco, Next, Oak Furnitureland and Greggs.
Used on both new-build and refurbishment schemes, Encasement’s column casing range includes six individual products, offering a wide choice of materials and finish options for exterior or interior applications.
Column casings and applications
Where casings are needed for interior use only, Circa and Quadra casings allow circular, square and rectangular profiles to be specified. They also provide a wide range of finish options with the most popular being decorative laminates, as they are resistant to scuffs and scratches, and can be specified in plain colours, wood grain and metallics, as well as textured finishes.
While every Encasement column casing type is suitable for interior use, both the Forma and Polyma ranges are also widely used for exterior retail projects, such as store fronts, canopy supports or as a feature on retail park units, due to their durability and inherent weather resistance.
Available in aluminium or stainless steel, Forma casings can be specified in circular square, rectangular or hexagonal forms, as well as bespoke shapes. Strength, durability and colour choice are key features of the Polyma GRP range. As they are produced using moulds, this manufacturing process allows a high degree of design flexibility with shape; size and colour options all open to specification to meet bespoke project requirements, as well as standard profile options.
Vecta building linings
Alongside Encasement’s column casings, the Vecta building lining range provides high-quality solutions for interior wall linings, bulkheads, fascias, soffits and reveals with projects already installed for a range of brands, including Tesco, Prêt a Manger, Mini and Greggs.
Depending on the application, the Vecta range can be specified in a choice of materials and finishes. High-level bulkheads, such as 100-metre long solution at Tesco in Yardley, Birmingham, use PPC aluminium, although they can also be manufactured from stainless steel, as well as GRP or GRG, which can help save weight, although consideration should be given to the materials’ suitability for each application.
