ECO Cladding Subframing Supports Modern Design at Taunton Municipal Airport

As regional airports evolve to meet today’s aesthetic and performance demands, the Taunton Municipal Airport in East Taunton, MA, stands out with its newly completed Administration Building - a modern facility blending clean design with high-performance cladding materials.

Designed by Fennick McCredie Architecture, the structure’s crisp lines and contemporary facade elevate its civic presence. The architect's vision called for a bold exterior using Swisspearl high-density fiber cement panels and our visible, face-fastened HCI.10 subframing system, delivering a large-scale geometry to the exterior of this new administrative building. But achieving this seamless, long-lasting finish required more than surface materials - it needed an engineered foundation to support the system under real-world conditions.

That’s where ECO Cladding’s subframing solutions came into play. 

Engineered to Perform
Behind the visual appeal of the building lies a fully integrated ECO Cladding Hci.10 subframing system, designed to accommodate multiple cladding materials within a single unified attachment approach. ECO’s system provides a critical structural backbone, addressing important performance criteria such as:

• Wind load resistance
• Thermal expansion accommodation
• Moisture management
• Attachment versatility for mixed cladding materials

For the Taunton Airport project, ECO’s Hci.10 system supported Swisspearl panels with precise alignment and code-compliant performance, making the architect’s vision a reality without compromise. 

Designed for Civic Impact
As a public building serving a growing transportation hub, the new administration facility required more than curb appeal - it demanded long-term durability and low maintenance. ECO Cladding’s rainscreen approach ensures proper ventilation and water drainage behind the facade, enhancing the building envelope’s longevity and energy performance.

With this project, Taunton Municipal Airport not only enhances its operational footprint but also delivers a civic landmark built on quality, collaboration, and smart construction.
