EIFS in metal — 0.5 mm roll-formed steel weatherskin over continuous external EPS insulation.
Kit in rebuild
LiteClad is Technopol's profiled 0.5 mm pre-painted steel cladding skin — an "EIFS in metal" external weatherskin / over-cladding fixed to the structure by concealed clips or screws; it is the bare metal facing only (the EPS-cored composite board is the separate NuClad product), so it carries no bonded insulation core.

LiteClad is the bare profiled steel weatherskin — the 0.5 mm steel adds negligible thermal resistance, so no λ / R / U-value is published for the cladding on its own; insulation is provided by the substrate or by the EPS-cored NuClad composite board (separate product page). Fire ratings belong to the insulation/assembly, not the bare steel: reaction-to-fire Class B-s1,d0 (SANS 53501-1) is for the FRCel EPS core, and FR 60 min (R/E/I 60, SANS 10177-2, report FT 24/003 Issue 2, tested 2024) is for the NuClad LiteCore LSF wall assembly — do not apply either to the bare cladding. DutchClad is a wall/ABT weatherboard (not roofing-rated per the datasheet); the other four profiles are roofing-rated. Skin gauges of 0.4 mm and 0.3 mm appear only in an internal costing sheet; the published datasheet lists 0.5 mm only.
