Owners of the Mercia Marina regeneration project, near Derby, have specified Marley Eternit's Rivendale fibre cement slates as a cost effective alternative to natural slate for the new Boardwalk development. The £1.7 million Boardwalk project features a promenade of six boutique retail outlets with offices above, all centred around a two storey bar and restaurant. The owners worked closely with Repton based Bi Design Architecture to select a palette of local stone, timber cladding and glazing for the building and fibre cement slate on the roof. Rivendale fibre cement roof slate features a riven surface and dressed edge, combining the benefit of modern slate technology with the look of natural slate and is ideal for use on projects where a natural look is sought. Rivendale boasts industry leading sustainability credentials, including a low carbon footprint of just 13 CO2e /m2 (based on 600 × 300 slate at 100mm lap), certification to the BES 6001 standard for Responsible Sourcing and the ability to achieve the lowest environmental rating (A+) in the BRE Green Guide.
