CEMBONIT GETS TOP MARKS AFTER SCHOOL REFURBISHMENT!
Release Date: 27 Feb 2009
Cembonit cladding panels from Cembrit have recently been used in the refurbishment of a performing arts block at the Weald of Kent Grammar School. Supplied by Marco Industries, the pearl-coloured panels have rejuvenated the building façade whilst blending seamlessly with the existing buildings and classrooms.
The Weald of Kent Grammar School is a girl’s school located in Tonbridge. The high academic standards are matched by the high standard of facilities provided for the pupils. The installation of the 750m² of Cembonit cladding was carried out by BBS Construction of Maidstone.
Ray Connolly of Marco Industries, a leading supplier of architectural cladding throughout the South East explains why Cembonit offered the perfect solution: “Occasionally we get projects where something special is required, this was one of those. We needed a panel that could offer effective long term colour stability performance and ease of installation whilst combining the particular aesthetic requirements for this project. Cembonit muted range of colours offered the perfect selection and the finished project looks great.”
Cembonit is through coloured, strong, durable and lightweight, and provides an attractive, cost-effective and maintenance-free Class 0 cladding panel, which is ideal for a variety of decorative cladding applications. Cembonit transforms old facades at low cost, without losing their original appeal. Cembonit can be used for new and old buildings alike, either alone or in combination with other materials. It is produced from cement, sand, cellulose, wollastonite and water glass and is impregnated with an aqueous, hydrophobic liquid, which provides the sheets with a water and dirt repellent surface.
