Eternit Slates, the market leader in double-lap slating, has launched a new detailed guide containing information on its wide range of 'heavenly' slates.
But it was the use of 100m of Marley Eternit's 12mm BluClad render board on the eight-year-long self-build that has attracted huge interest from the media including a TV series, book and exhibition, which helped it win the Andy Swan Award for Best Rendered House.
Recommended to the Harrises by Alumasc render systems, the BluClad features on the curved walls of the minimalist new-build element of the redevelopment of the Grade II listed, 19th Century five-storey water tower.
The white plastered extension comprises a 26-ton steel framework of 157 pieces that forms the core of the main living area, 50% of which is glazed to make the most of the stunning views of the Cheshire countryside.
Julian Baker of Ellis Williams architects said the practice had used moisture and fire-resistant BluClad frequently over the past decade so it was well tried and tested.
"We needed a flexible system for the facets on the curved walls and BluClad is the industry standard as far as we are concerned".
"We are very pleased with the result," he said. Request a free brochure from Marley Eternit ...
