Recycling plant chooses Marley Eternit Profile 6
Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting has been installed at a WRG plant to withstand high temperatures and humidity created during the composting process.
Waste Recycling Group (WRG), a UK-based waste management and energy recovery company, has chosen Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting for its state-of-the-art recycling and composting facility in Wrexham.
Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting features on this recycling and composting facility
The plant will allow the county's waste to be managed for the next 25 years.
It was vital to select roofing and cladding material that could cope with this aggressive environment.
The building designers therefore decided to specify Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting, which has been used on many other waste management plants and agricultural buildings around the UK.
This is because the fibre cement used to manufacture the Profile 6 sheets is unaffected by the harsh environments found in these types of plant.
Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheets cannot rust as the fibre cement has no metallic content and is unaffected by frost and climatic temperature changes.
While Profile 6 sheets are watertight, they are also vapour permeable, which proved to be a benefit for WRG as it reduces condensation occurrence caused when the warm moist air generated by the composting process meets the relatively cooler building envelope.
This condensation, which can be slightly acidic as a result of the gases given off during composting, can have a severe corrosive effect on the building.
Profile 6 has the ability to reduce the level of condensation and can therefore help protect the building.
Marley Eternit's 1,525mm sheet length was used on the Wrexham plant for ease of handling.
The sheets are available in a range of colours to complement most urban and agricultural landscapes, with a natural grey colour option chosen for the Wrexham plant.
Profile 6 sheeting has achieved British Board of Agreement Certificate 00/3700 and can be used on roof pitches as low as 5.
It can be used for roofing and vertical cladding in both single skin and insulated constructions.
Profile 6 sheeting is available with a full range of accessories.
'Profile 6 is ideal for industrial and agricultural buildings where a cost-effective and high-performance roofing and cladding material is required,' said Diana Bullock, campaign manager - cladding and profiled sheeting at Marley Eternit.
The material has a 50-year life expectancy and is maintenance free, meaning that once it is installed, clients have the peace of mind that the material will perform consistently over a long period of time.
