01 — About

Ireland's specialist
aluminium cladding fabricator.

Based at Unit 48, Western Parkway Business Park, Ballymount Road Lower, Dublin 12, D12 K0WH. Led by Managing Director David Peck, a time-served insulation cladding tradesman with 20+ years across development, fabrication and fitting.

What we make

Bespoke thin-gauge aluminium cladding for mechanical insulation contractors — pipe bends, reducers, tees, valve boxes, duct cladding and custom transitions fabricated to your exact site measurements.

Workers measure on site using the CladFab app, CladBot guides them one number at a time, and we fabricate and deliver in about a week. No paperwork. No chasing. Just a price, a lead time, and a date you can hold your client to.

02 — Technology

The only Irish fabricator
with CAD-to-CNC.

Site measurements flow from the CladFab app through our geometry engine, producing DXF cutting files dispatched directly to our CNC plasma table. No manual redrawing. No scaling errors. No bottlenecks.

CAD-to-CNC Workflow01

We are the only fabricator in Ireland running a fully digital measure-to-CNC pipeline. Flat-pattern geometry is solved by our geometry engine, exported as DXF cutting files, and dispatched directly to our CNC plasma table — zero manual redrawing, zero scaling errors.

CladBot AI Brain02

CladBot, our built-in AI assistant, guides field workers through each measurement one number at a time — even hands-free by voice. No drawing or sheet-metal knowledge needed.

MABI 16-Z Roll-former03

Our Swiss MABI 16-Z Classic roll-former produces perfectly swaged edges at production speed, eliminating hand-swaging and cutting lead times from days to hours.

03 — Standards & Commitment
BS
5422 & 5970
All insulation cladding designed and fabricated to BS 5422 (insulation specifications) and BS 5970 (code of practice for thermal insulation of pipework and equipment).

Our workshop designs and fabricates to BS 5422 (insulation thickness specifications) and BS 5970 (code of practice for thermal insulation of pipework and equipment). We treat these as working standards, not minimum compliance targets.

CladFab invests directly in the people and the machinery behind quality fabrication. We hold apprentices through the SOLAS national apprenticeship programme — Ireland’s craft training authority — developing the next generation of insulation cladding tradespeople in-house. Our €500K+ investment in MABI-system machinery reflects the same commitment: the standard of the machine sets the floor for the standard of the part.

Every fitting leaves our workshop with full traceability back to the site measurement that originated it, held in the CladFab order management system.
