Building more sustainably in an eco-conscious world
The built environment is becoming ever-more conscious of its social and environmental responsibilities. As the industry becomes more environmentally aware, so too do property owners, demanding sustainable building materials that look good and will last, without the need for expensive maintenance work, upgrades or replacements.
Cedral’s fibre cement products meet this demand perfectly, with their tough, long-lasting and sustainable qualities, matched with stylish good looks and extensive design and colour choices. Fibre cement is a very attractive option as planners, architects, developers and homeowners all think more carefully about the impact of the products they use.
7 reasons why fibre cement is a popular option for the eco-aware:
- Fibre cement is a strong, versatile and long-lasting material. Cedral products have a minimum life expectancy of 50 years.
- Fibre cement offers hard-wearing, long-lasting visual appeal that doesn’t need regular replacing, repainting or maintenance. It won’t rot, rust, warp or crack, is insect, bacteria and algae resistant and has an excellent fire classification of A2-s1, d0.
- Fibre cement cladding acts like a second skin on a building’s exterior and is frost, mould and water resistant to protect against the elements. A ventilated facade, where the cladding doesn’t sit directly against the insulation, improves energy efficiency, enabling the rapid drying of external walls, reducing condensation and humidity.
- Cladding can preserve the life of older buildings by providing a stylish contemporary update for unsightly faded paintwork or render.
- Using fibre cement cladding or roofing slates is a way to maintain continuity and to provide an appearance of traditional materials, offering technological advances while also satisfying the planning authorities.
- A wide range of finishes and colour choices makes it easy to style an exterior that works with its environment and meets planning requirements. Cedral facades come in a colour palette of 21 factory-applied shades, with a choice of wood effect or smooth finishes. Boards can be mounted vertically or horizontally to create a range of looks, from country cottages to contemporary designs.
- Fibre cement uses fewer raw materials and less energy in its manufacture, produces less waste than some traditional building materials and is recyclable.
