Marley Eternit roofing specified for power station

A hydro-electric power station has fitted Marley Eternit fibre cement Profile 6 sheeting as part of major refurbishment work.

The Mary Tavy hydro-electric power station in Devon generates enough electricity for 2,500 homes.

It is owned and operated by South West Water, who specified Profile 6 sheeting.

The decision was made after South West Water realised the original fibre cement sheets used for the roof of the turbine hall had lasted in excess of seventy years.

Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting offers longevity and durability, and is a cost effective method of roofing and cladding all sizes and types of building.

Profile 6 has no metallic content, which means the sheets do not rust.

Profile 6 is weathertight yet vapour permeable, significantly reducing the occurrence of condensation.

Profile 6 sheeting has achieved British Board of Agrement (BBA) 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.

Marley Eternit's Profile 6 sheeting is Class O fire rated and offers effective thermal and acoustic performance.
