BBA certified slates for new retirement village

Westerland and Moorland, BBA certified fibre cement slates from Cembrit, have helped achieve a Code for Sustainable Homes and a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating for a newly built £30 million retirement village in Oxfordshire.

Built on a four hectare site, Coral Springs is a newly built retirement village in Witney, Oxfordshire. Approximately 64,000 each of Westerland and Moorland slates were installed by Attleys with both Westerland and Moorland slates being chosen for their distinctive and contrasting textures as well as their BBA certified A/A+ rating.

Alongside their environmentally friendly manufacturing process, Cembrit’s Westerland and Moorland slates have a surface texture and dressed edge similar to that of natural slate.

Alex Attley, from Attley's roofing, said:"We chose Westerland and Moorland for their ease of installation as well as the authentic dressed edges which give a beautiful, traditional appearance that fits perfectly with the aesthetic of the site. The A/A+ rating also contributed to the environmentally-friendly construction goals that were a key target for the project.”
