Fibre cement Weatherboard from Marley Eternit has helped Redrow Homes make it through to the final stage of John Prescott's Design for Manufacture competition.
Redrow has already demonstrated it is capable of producing housing at a construction cost of ?60,000 or less through its Debut range. These Weatherboard clad affordable starter homes were sold inclusive of full development costs on first release at Willans Green, Rugby with prices starting at ?50,000.
Marley Eternit's Weatherboard used at Willans Green was provided in blue-grey and ivory with aluminium corners on the first and second storey elevations to complement brickwork on the ground floors. It was specified for its durability, lightness and its inert characteristics.
