Britain's best source of building product information

Marley Eternit has rebranded its UK building boards range in an effort to reflect its parent company's influence on the European fibre cement market. Products sold throughout the continent by the Etex Group will now feature the same brand names in a move which the company says in being reflected across European manufacturing, whatever the sector. Marley Eternit claims its range of building boards is one of the largest, most versatile on the UK market, drawing on its 90+ years of fibre cement market.

Pure Cladding is the name of the recently launched cladding design guide from Marley Eternit. The guide focuses on the design, detailing and specification of the company's decorative rainscreen cladding systems. Out goes the manufacturer's range of high performance building boards - they now have their own guide and in comes its range of fibre cement profiled sheets, plain tiles and slates to complement the cladding panels. The guide is said to advise architects, specifiers and contractors on the applications for each of the decorative cladding options as well as technical data, colours and aesthetics. Help on how to avoid wastage is also given.

Held later this month at Earls Court, 100% Detail will be the launch-pad for a range of fibre cement decorative rainscreen cladding panels from Marley Eternit. Instead of featuring the same colour throughout as the Natura Plus range does, the Natura range comprises nine colours available as a varnish on lightweight dark grey core and a further five varnish colours on a light grey core.

Fibre cement cladding panels from Marley Eternit helped architects Nightingale Associates meet the brief tio provide a day surgery unit in the shortest time possible. The lightweight Natura Plus through-coloured rainscreen panels in Anthracite were specified to clad, in an outsized planking effect, the whole of the 1,150m² site at Singleton hospital for Swansea NHS Trust. Richard Golledge of Nightingale Associates said: 'Anthracite was used because the backdrop of the building had a band of trees on the site boundary and dark grey actually helps the building recede into this green backdrop.' This approach, coupled with a partnering contract that brought the design team, contractor and client together at an early stage, ensured that the volumetric off-site units delivered and erected in just five days, with the whole project from inception to completion, took less than twelve months.
