Marley Eternit Nature Pro used for school facade

Sir Thomas Wharton Community College in Doncaster has benefited from Marley Eternit's Natura Pro fibre cement cladding.

Natura Pro has helped create a durable and low maintenance facade for the school.

Natura Pro's coating protects against various types of staining, including graffiti produced by common aerosols and other paints which can be eliminated by graffiti removers, making it suitable for this type of project.

Natura Pro was also selected because it was able to meet the client's brief for a building with a strong visual identity.

Anthracite coloured Natura Pro achieved this by accentuating the flashes of blue, yellow and orange colours used on the insulated aluminium window infill panels on this section of the development.

The Natura Pro panels were installed on the school's dance studio which part-forms one of the three teaching blocks.

Each of these blocks is connected to the central structure that forms the main entrance.

A double leaf cavity block wall was used to construct the dance studio, with the Natura Pro cladding acting as a rainscreen facade.

Natura Pro panels were fitted using Marley Eternit's mechanical secret fix system, helping to create a smooth unbroken rainscreen facade.

Natura Pro has a life expectancy of around 50 years, providing long-term value for money.

Fibre cement cladding has a Class 0 fire performance.
