Cladding & Sheeting

A beach house on the Hampshire coastline has been renovated using Profile 3 and Farmscape fibre cement profiled sheeting from Marley Eternit.

The 1940s home sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and therefore required sensitive modernisation. This was achieved using Marley Eternit Farmscape in matt for the pitched roof and Profile 3 for the cladding.

Profile 3 was specified because of its shallower profile, creating a more subtle appearance as well as reducing heavy shadow lines. The pitched roof used Farmscape which has a surface pigmentation applied to its top face giving it a textured, matt finish. This reduces the visual impact of the building by giving the profiled sheeting a more natural look from new.

Marley Eternit fibre cement profiled sheeting is corrosion resistant due to the fact it has no metallic content, giving it a life expectancy of around 50 years. It is vapour permeable yet completely waterproof, which means that any moisture from the inside can diffuse to the outside, limiting condensation and therefore potential damage to the roof structure.

The success of using Marley Eternit sheeting was recognised by Chichester Harbour Conservancy, which included the home in its Design Guide as a good example of a sensitive and contemporary development that protects the area’s natural beauty.
