Cladding from Marley Eternit's Natura range has been specified for the Elmgreen School in London.
The fibre cement panels are a contributing factor to the building gaining a BREEAM Very Good rating.
Natura cladding supplied by Marley Eternit has been specified for the Elmgreen School in London
Cladding from the Natura range were specified in Amber and Azurite coloured panels for two of the three new buildings.
The third new building used Coral coloured panels, also from the Natura range.
The cladding from Marley Eternit was selected because it had a smooth and solid surface with a pure, through-coloured core.
The fibre cement panels require minimal maintenance, have a Class 0 fire performance and are resistant to insects, mould growth and fungi, helping to give it a life expectancy of at least 50 years.
The panels were fitted in a horizontal orientation between each floor and designed to fit flush with the adjacent curtain walling systems.
The panels were fitted onto a metal support system using a combination of secret and visible fixing methods.
