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.
