Marley Eternit’s Cedral Click wall cladding system has been chosen for the creation of a stunning new home recently constructed on the banks of the River Tay.

Tasked with creating a beautiful family house for a retiring client, BlackDog Architecture based in Inverkeithing in Scotland had to consider a number of important factors. The brief as set by the client stipulated a low maintenance property, but one that also displayed tangible aesthetic appeal and could meet the rigorous stipulations of local planners. Following specification in a final slate grey finish from the Cedral Click colour palette, its selection met with full approval from the local planning committee which deemed it wholly appropriate for use within the prevailing conservation area.

As well as its attractive look and minimal maintenance obligations, the unique installation system that supports Cedral Click also offered real benefit for the project. Michael McGurk, who led the design team at architects BlackDog, explains "The construction programme was assisted by how Cedral Click is installed. Once the profiles and starter profiles were set out, the joiners were able to quickly install the product using the unique Clip Click assembly system. Essentially the Cedral Click planks are placed flush against each other and fixed at 600mm intervals using stainless steel clips which provide a secure fixing with minimal delay.”
