Denbury Mews gets a natural finish
coach houses and the product’s versatility was the perfect answer to the challenges posed by the curved roof. “Due to the nature of this project with some of the roofs being at a curved angle, we required a good quality slate that would allow us to cut on-site all four edges, without shattering,” said Chris Perrin, owner of Perrin Construction. “Having worked with Cembrit’s Contessa slates in the past, we knew that these slates would be suitable for this project.”
The requirement for good quality, low mainte- nance and an aesthetically pleasing end result led to Cembrit’s Contessa natural slates being specified for Denbury Mews, a new unique development in Devon. The slates have ensured a high class appearance for the fifteen houses and

This new secondary school was com- pleted in December 2010 to replace former ‘split’ site buildings. Re-Format designed a new sedum roof construction that follows the curvature of the site to give the impression of the landscape being raised to accommodate the school below. The cladding used Follansbee’s
KlassicKolor material, which contrasts with the adjoining facades to create an exciting pallet of surface finishes. The coating is formulated with a ‘cool roof ’ concept and uses pigments with enhanced solar reflectance and emittance, to reduce the energy needed to cool the building.
To clad or not to clad? That is the question
NVELOPE NV1 vertical cladding support systems have been installed on a newly refur- bished apartment block in Hackney to provide an attractive external envelope that regenerates the area. Shakespeare House has been transformed from a low quality housing block into 18 modern apartments. Redesigned to create spacious living
areas, the building has been completely insulated to improve energy. Bptw Architecture aimed to add a contemporary feel to the housing and decided to overclad the building with an attractive Corium brick cladding system. To enable them to do so, a versatile cladding support system was required. The building was extended to provide a fourth floor.
Cembrit clads sustainable homes
CembritMetro cladding has been installed on a mixed-use development in the heart of Camden, London, to provide a decorative finish to complement the surrounding brickwork. Approximately 500 sq m of Stockholm cladding has contributed to the building achieving an accredited sustainability status. London-based
architect Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) specified Cembrit’s Metro cladding with the design plan of the brickwork ‘peeling back’ at the corners of the envelope, revealing a contrasting palette of glazing and cladding. Drylining and facades specialist Conneely Group installed the cladding onto the new build project and found the material particularly easy to handle.
