Beach house fitted with Marley Eternit Profile 3

A beach house on the Hampshire coastline has been renovated using Profile 3 and Farmscape fibre cement profiled sheeting from Marley Eternit.

Marley Eternit Farmscape in matt Anthracite colour for the pitched roof, and Profile 3 in Natural Grey for the cladding, were used to achieve the sensitive modernisation of the building.

The architect specified Profile 3 for use as cladding because of its shallower profile, which created a more subtle appearance as well as reducing heavy shadow lines.

The sheets were fitted in landscape format.

Farmscape in Anthracite was used for the pitched roof, which has an unusual design in that the eaves extend nearly to ground level; a style of architectural found on some buildings exposed to coastal weather conditions.

Farmscape has a surface pigmentation applied to its top face giving it a textured, matt finish, and is available in three colours.

This surface finish reduces the visual impact of the building by giving the profiled sheeting a more natural look as opposed to brand new.

Together with the subtle variations in tone inherent in cementitious products, the appearance of Farmscape Anthracite and Profile 3 Natural Grey will ensure that the property blends with the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in which it sits.

Marley Eternit fibre cement profiled sheeting is corrosion resistant due to the fact it has no metallic content, giving it a life expectancy of around 50 years.

It is vapour permeable yet completely waterproof, which means that any moisture from inside the building can diffuse to the outside, limiting the amount of condensation and therefore potential damage to the roof structure.
