Textured rainscreen facade by Marley Eternit
Marley Eternit has supplied Textura fibre cement cladding for the redevelopment of Kendal College in the Lake District.
The decorative rainscreen cladding was installed on pods protruding out of the main entrance block and on the Construction and Heritage Centre.
Textura fibre cement cladding has been supplied by Marley Eternit for a college in the Lake District
Textura was specified in five bespoke colours to create an eye-catching building envelope.
The panels were manufactured in the factory approved RAL colours of Champagne, Salmon and Sun Yellow for the Construction and Heritage Centre, and in Stone Grey and Dark Brown for the entrance block pods.
From the design stage through to completion, Marley Eternit provided a complete sample, advice and support package.
Textura has an aesthetic, highly glazed granular finish that provides a low maintenance, robust facade to the buildings.
The surface also contains small glass beads, which allows rainwater to pearl across the face of the sheet, reducing the possibility of staining.
The Textura panels were fitted by Speedclad using a structural adhesive system involving bonding the panels onto a combination of timber battens and aluminium support framework.
This system incorporates a cavity that enables any moisture penetrating through the joints in the panels to be effectively removed by the provision of an uninterrupted ventilation path.
To ensure the buildings remain energy efficient, rigid phenolic insulation was installed behind the Textura panels to improve thermal performance.
Textura is resistance to mould growth and fungi, which helps give a minimum life expectancy of 50 years.
