Britain's best source of building product & construction news

Hall 5, Stand D160 Marley Eternit rejoins Interbuild this year for the first time since all elements of its roofing and cladding businesses were brought under one umbrella. This one-stop-shop resource will be reflected on the company's stand in the Unimer showcase area of the show, where it will exhibit the range of high-performance building boards, fibre cement Weatherboards, and profiled roofing sheets. The company's clay plain tiles range, including the new line up of Acme in single and double-camber options, will feature alongside established ranges such as Ashdowne and Hawkins. Marley Eternit's range of fibre cement building boards includes a moisture resistant tile backing board, an external grade sheet suitable for soffits and fascias and a flat moisture resistant render board. Fibre cement acts as a substrate for the low-maintenance Weatherboard which is available in a variety of colours and wood stains for a New England look for domestic and non-domestic use.

Roofing manufacturer Marley Eternit has launched a ground-breaking roof tile coating that will absorb asthma-causing pollutants from the air in UK cities. The new coating, EcoLogic, contains a catalyst that is activated by the sun's rays. This removes nitrogen oxides which contribute to asthmatic and bronchial problems from the air, along with other atmospheric pollutants responsible for smog and acid rain. The company estimates that during its lifetime an average-sized roof with EcoLogic tiles could remove an amount of Nitrogen Oxide equivalent to that emitted by a modern car driving 100,000 miles.
