At Exeter University, the Spreytonway & Moberly House projects designed by architects Wilmore Iles have provided a total of 382 student rooms. The rain screen cladding panels for the building is Dales DF-System Panels, supplied by Dales-Eaves. These are manufactured with a stiffer aluminium alloy using face-fixings. An on-trend rusted metal look was required for the panels and Powdertech’s Evolution coating ‘Peat Fire’ was the perfect choice. Unlike Corten, Evolution finishes will not leach into the ground after rain or cause staining to surrounding materials. The coating also conforms to the reaction to fire rating ‘A2, S1-d0.’
