Marley Eternit cladding is a tower of strength in Glasgow

摘要

Two types of fibre cement rainscreen cladding panels from Marley Eternit met a host of performance criteria for the award-winning redevelopment of a derelict 1960s Government office building in a rundown area of Glasgow.rnThe manufacturer's Multiclad and Glasal panels, both in grey, were specified by Cooper Cromar architects primarily for their light weight for the landmark Tower 464 - at 464 Pollokshaws Road. This was because the practice's design to convert the offices into 50 apartments comprised stripping the existing building back to its concrete frame and erecting two steel bracing towers to allow the backbone of concrete cores to be demolished.
