Recent Projects
Due to recent changes in building regulations, many housing associations are faced with challenges surrounding timber cladding replacement. High-rise dwellings now require fire rating on all external wall materials of A1 or A2 classification. Timber and other cladding less than A2 present a fire risk. Here are some recent wood finish projects which we have supplied to ensure buildings meet current regulations.
VulcaLap®
Rainscreen System
Available in 2 styles of Tongue and Groove (T&G) board, and traditional Shiplap. VulcaLap® aluminium cladding exploits the superior performance of lightweight aluminium extrusions and is available in lengths up to 6.2m long.
