Cladding Updates For further info on all these updates and more, visit www.total-contractor.co.uk CUTTING OUT THE WASTE With statistics regularly quoted about the amount of waste we are all sending to landfill, businesses are looking to play their part in reducing waste and operating more efficiently. As such, Freefoam has recently helped Key Partnership Homes do exactly this at their new site at Caleb Close, Luton. Freefoam supplier Willmott’s of Reading identified during the specification process that the standard five-metre cladding board would be uneconomical and an inefficient use of materials. George Petts, Willmott’s Business Development Manager, explained “With many of the units requiring three metre lengths we quickly estimated that a six-metre cladding board would work much better for this development and considerably reduce waste. We work closely with Freefoam and with the volumes specified for this site they were happy to manufacture this bespoke order.” The first 25 properties of a 224-unit site have now been completed, featuring Freefoam Fortex embossed cladding and white roofline range. The mix of affordable rent and shared ownership tenures, built on behalf of Paradigm Housing Group, features the popular Double Shiplap board in Argyll Brown on both house and apartment units alongside white PVC fascia and soffit. www.freefoam.com MAJOR PROJECT OPTS FOR Y-WALL RCM is currently supplying a regeneration development in Canning Town, London with 100,000m² of its A1 non-combustible BBA-certified fibre cement building board. RCM was appointed to supply 100,000m2 of its A1 Y-wall sheathing board to Errigal Contracts through Walls & Ceilings International for the Brunel Street Works project. The project is one of RCM’s largest Y-wall orders to-date. The Brunel Street Works is a project by Opal, a joint venture between Galliford Try Partnerships and Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing. It is one of the largest regeneration sites underway in London. Ian Quinton, MD RCM, explained: “Through RCM’s continued growth of supplying fabricated products, we are pleased to be working alongside our strategic partners and being supportive by delivering to such a major project.” www.buildingboards.co.uk MODERN MAKEOVER ON THE FARM When the residents of a rural Farmer’s House set in the South Downs National Park were looking to achieve an elegant extension to provide further space for their growing family, they opted for Cembrit Patina BBA certified cladding to complement the building’s existing heritage. Farmer’s House, set in the South Downs National Park: The A2 non-combustible fire rating according to EN13501, make Patina ideal for new build and over cladding rainscreen applications. www.cembrit.co.uk Cembrit Patina is an autoclaved, through-coloured board in 11 pastel coloured impact resistant boards characterised by an attractive matt finish and a faint directional grain. During the production process, Patina undergoes a unique impregnation treatment, which effectively protects against water staining and dirt, ensuring that the façade retains its attractive appearance in both dry and wet weather conditions.
