Product Review - Eternit UK Ltd
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.
