However, the disc goes a step further by offering the user the opportunity to see digital representations of rainscreen facades installed using each of the ceramic granite slabs in the portfolio.
Three very different building styles with fully clad and partially clad elevations demonstrate the aesthetic effect of each slab in situ.
With the click of a mouse, a different building or style of ceramic granite slab can be selected, allowing the user to compare different effects and shortlist preferred options at a very early stage in the design process.
The package incorporates useful tools to enable the user to take a closer look at the detail of each building and its rainscreen facade or manipulate the image.
The images created can be downloaded and used as reference or incorporated in client presentations.
Simon Newell, Commercial Director of Shackerley said: "We are now able to offer so many ceramic granite slabs for use in ventilated rainscreens that we felt it was important to provide a more dynamic visual guide to the very different aesthetic effects that can be created".
"In conjunction with our Sureclad brochure and our ceramic granite sampling service the Colour Cladding Palette disc is designed to provide inspiration for our specifier customers and help them to visualise the completed appearance of their new build or refurb project".
