CLADDING & SHEETING
RCM’s fire-rated through wall solutions demonstrated at Timber Expo
RCM showcased an “attentiongrabbing”
stand at Timber Expo
in Birmingham this year, part of
the UK Construction Week, which
was held during 9-11 October
2018.…
All 24m2 of the stand was
decked out with RCM’s o‰erings
from building boards right
through to the façade solutions
supplied, with a focus on the
timber frame market; with
particular attention paid to firerated
solutions. The main stand
itself was constructed partially
using Cemboard, RCM’s own highperformance
cement-bonded
particle building board.
This is the second time RCM has
attended this show. Exhibiting
on the same stand as 2017, a big
change from last years’ show was
the removal of the corner section
of the stand, allowing visitors to
walk through and take a closer
look at the colourful displays.
An array of the full RCM
façade portfolio was displayed,
highlighting the di‰erent colours
available, as well as di‰erent
materials and finishes.
There were also two Dynamic
Cladding samples on show, one
glass and one natural stone. This
cladding is o‰ered exclusively
by sister company SPS Facades.
Dynamic cladding is said to
o‰er security assurance through
comprehensive fire and blast
testing.…
RCM’s Supertech
Weatherboard was displayed on
the stand by cascading coloured
planks down the wall and into the
floor behind a perspex window.…
One of the main highlights,
according to visitors’ comments,
were the eight revolving throughwall
solutions, made up from
sheathing board right through to
the façade and displaying RCM’s
full material portfolio. It provided
visitors with a real understanding
of how the di‰erent materials
fit together, as well as being
tactile objects which could be
further explored by rotating the
models and looking at them from
di‰erent angles.
