Fire safe cladding for residential projects
Dormers are roofed structures that project vertically beyond the plane of a pitched roof to add light, space and height. They have been a popular feature in English architecture for many years, dating back as early as the 16th Century.
The central section of the dormer features three windows and uses Dura Cladding Flush Resist in Alaskan Cedar installed in a vertical direction with matching aluminium cedar trims.
With an attractive woodgrain appearance and in-built durability, Dura Cladding Flush Resist is made from a hard-wearing eco-friendly mix of recycled timber and polymers.
A unique 360° outer armour protects the core of the cladding plank from the elements to help prevent fade. The vertical installation is made possible by the clever plank design and provides a modern look that will stand the test of time. To contrast with the natural look of the Alaskan Cedar, the client chose Flush Aluminium Cladding in Anthracite colour to clad the sides and edges of the dormer. Strong and tough, Dura Cladding Aluminium is made from high grade T6 aluminium and is ideal for any application that requires an A2 Fire Rating.
The innovative design means boards fit together with no overlap in a lightweight profile that’s easy to work with. Both products require little to no maintenance over their lifetime, so Mr McGovan of Complete Blasting Services can spend time enjoying the property rather than keeping up with endless façade maintenance.
