Marley Eternit's fibre cement Profile 6 sheeting has been specified for refurbishment work at a hydro-electric power station.
Profile 6 sheeting was specified after it came to attention that the original fibre cement sheets in the roof of the turbine hall had lasted for more than seventy years.
The Mary Tavy hydro-electric power station in Devon has a refurbished roof featuring Marley Eternit Profile 6 sheets.
Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting has been used extensively throughout the station, The sheeting offers longevity and durability, and is a cost effective method of roofing and cladding.
Profile 6 has no metallic content and therefore will not rust.
Despite its weathertight properties, the sheets are vapour permeable, which significantly reduces condensation.
Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheets have a life expectancy of 50 years and are maintenance free.
Profile 6 sheeting has achieved British Board of Agrement 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 wide range of accessories.
