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 range of decorative rainscreen cladding panels.
This comprises the fibre cement Natura, Natura Plus, Pelicolor, Multiclad, Glasal and Weatherboard, and the high-pressure laminate Lamina External.
The full-colour A4 guide advises architects, specifiers and contractors alike on the different applications for each of the decorative cladding options as well as technical data, colours and aesthetics.
Attention is given to design considerations and even how to design to minimise wastage. The book describes how rainscreen cladding systems have evolved and how they meet Building Regulations as well as their sustainability credentials. It also advises in detail on the many face- and secret-fixed systems available.
Advice on handling, health and safety and who to turn to at Marley Eternit for technical help is also given.
