Panels in colours as natura intended - Eternit UK Ltd

After an international colour workshop involving architects from the UK, France and Germany, Marley Eternit has launched a Natura range of fibre cement decorative cladding panels. In contrast with the Natura Plus range which features the same colour throughout, the new Natura range includes nine colours that are available as a varnish on a lightweight Anthacite (dark grey) core and a further five varnish colours on a natural grey core. UK architects Cany Ash and Robert Sakula from Ash Sakula Architects in London met with Konrad Wohlhage from Leon Wohlhage Wernik Architekten in Berlin and David Trottin from Peripheriques Architectes in Paris for the workshop. Together they analysed Marley Eternit's cladding colour range and those available from sister companies in Europe. The architects expressed a preference for shades of the more natural colours even when a range contained bold primary colours. They suggested strengthening the natural identity of the fibre cement substrate by using colour varnishes on the base material. This recommendation was taken on board and the result is the Natura colours range.

Concrete council housing in South Wales has been given a new lease of life as social housing following a refurbishment which includes a variety of products from Marlet Eternit. On the roofs, the company's fibre cement slates are accompanied by ventilated clay red ridge tiles that have been dry fixed, while fibre cement Weatherboard cladding breaks up the brickwork on some of the upper-storey elevations. Slates are an indigenous material to Wales but natural slate was not a realistic option for the budget so the family of artificial slates from Marley Eternit was deemed a suitable alternative. The dry-fix ventilated plain angle ridge tiles have been used as hip tiles, while the Weatherboard cladding was pre-painted white.
