external envelope
We’ll look after the outside while you look after the inside
The A. Proctor Group can take care of the external cladding choice of your school, providing a portfolio of products with low maintenance programmes and guarantees to suit refurbishment of the old and building of the new
reduced maintenance requirements. This combination of beauty and robustness led Staffordshire County Council to specify the Canjaere Classic cladding system on Rocklands Primary School in Lichfield. The project was aimed at co-locating a facility for pupils with
S
special needs alongside a mainstream primary school. The redevel- opment of the former infants block at Charnwood has allowed improved facilities for the Rocklands pupils including addi- tional classrooms, external play areas and car parking facilities. Installed by contractors Thomas Vale Construction, the 368
sq m of Canjaere Classic Golden was chosen due to the standard 30-year warranty against rot and decay, leading to reductions in both time and cost for maintenance, particularly important in school applications where durability is a major concern. After installation in 2009, the A. Proctor Group was invited
to use the project as a showcase for the aesthetics of the Canjaere Classic System.
Revisited
In 2014, the group returned to Staffordshire to revisit the project. After five years of service, including several of the harsh- est winters in recent memory, appearance of the hard wearing Canjaere Classic system is virtually unchanged from when it was installed. The unique treatment used in the Canjaere Classic system
gives the softwood base timber physical properties closer to those of hardwoods, increasing the water resistance and stabil- ity, thereby enhancing durability even in the most demanding applications. This enhanced base wood provides a solid base for the coloured finish, ensuring the system remains as beautiful long term as it does on day one. Available in a range of colours and profiles, the Canjaere
Classic system provides a cost effective, low maintenance alter- native to natural timbers where a rustic, grained appearance is required. FR grades are also available for use on boundaries, or in projects with specific fire classification requirements.
ince entering the timber cladding market, the A. Proctor Group has focused on providing high quality and durable cladding systems, combining superior aesthetics with
