New Eurobond CPD on fire performance
Eurobond new RIBA approved CPD seminar focuses on true fire performance of composite panel systems.
Although not traditionally associated with landscape architecture, Eurobond was happy to make the charitable donation to a delighted Barry Mayled, Welsh architect and garden designer.
"As an architect, I was aware of the performance and aesthetic capabilities of composite wall panels and I decided that using them for the mini-building in the garden would create a modern and stylish structure," said Mayled.
"I approached Eurobond and they were very helpful and supportive".
Eurobond composite panels have a non-combustible Rockwool core bonded to pre-finished steel.
They are used widely for internal walls and external cladding, when a low-risk building is required in terms of fire performance and low environmental impact.
However, in this instance Eurobond panels make a welcome, if unusual, addition to 'The Sky at Night' garden.
'The Sky at Night' supported two charities - Diabetes UK and Scoliosis Wales and the garden took a prime position at the bottom of the Main Avenue at the show.
