Existing cladding on student accommodation at Bournemouth University needed replacing to comply with current standards and regulations, key amongst which is the ‘Reaction to Fire’ rating, A2, s1-d0. Also important was the need to improve the lifespan of the façade in its exposed coastal site, close to the Bournemouth seafront.
The designers proposed a robust system, which would exceed current high-rise cladding legislation.
‘Peat Fire’, from our Rust collection, a Powdertech Wood Finish shade and a RAL shade were selected by the client to be used across the building façade. These were applied as marine grade with great attention paid to metal protection pre-treatment
