Cladding for Schools & Educational Buildings

Cladding for the School Rebuilding Programme

If you’re involved in the design, construction, refurbishment or facilities maintenance of schools, universities or other educational buildings, then the chances are you’ll be seeking value for money and efficiency from every pound spent.

Whether you’re refurbishing a school as part of the UK’s government’s School Rebuilding programme, or building a new facility from scratch, Dura Cladding could be the answer to your external wall or siding needs. Made from high performance composite timber (or WPC), or from high-performance A2 fire rated aluminium, Dura Cladding provides the flexibility you need to create ultra-low-maintenance but unique designs.

Our Dura Composites warranty provides both the specifier and the client confidence that their school building is built to last.

Dura Cladding can be used in conjunction with other siding materials to produce a striking finish to any building and combines superior aesthetics with reduced maintenance requirements

Creating Positive Learning Environments for Students

The education community is constantly exploring ways to create a more stimulating, engaging and positive learning experience for students, and the impact of the school environment itself is paramount to achieving this.

Dura Cladding is a cost effective external building envelope solution that limits future running and maintenance costs and helps create a school that is a resource for the entire community. Looking and feeling just like natural wood, Dura Cladding’s unique combination of recycled wood and plastic delivers a host of advantages over traditional materials.

Just like real wood cladding, our composite cladding has the ability to blend seamlessly into the landscape, but is ideal for projects such as schools and public buildings as its beautiful colours are resistant to colour fading and need no painting, treating, coating or staining over their expected lifecycle. Dura Cladding is made from Composite Timber, also known as Wood Plastic Composite and is an alternative to natural wood cladding for low rise commercial and residential cladding projects. When designing a project featuring external cladding, you must always ensure that your chosen cladding complies with the correct building and fire regulations.
