Cladding contract breaks record for Howarth Timber
26 May 2011
Some 40,000 running metres of thermally treated timber cladding, conditioned for exposed external application, has been installed extensively on The University of Sheffield’s latest accommodation blocks at the new Endcliffe Student Village in the city.
The six-figure contract was fulfilled by Howarth Timber & Building Supplies’ Bradford branch, the company’s dedicated base for forming and treating specialist timber cladding.
With a service life of up to 30 years, thermally treated cladding is ideal for use where an attractive, durable and ecological solution is required. The treatment process ensures enhanced weather performance through the removal of moisture content and naturally occurring resin. The treated cladding is fully stable, meaning that no additional processes or finishing is required on site.
Thermally treated cladding is one of several cladding solutions offered by Howarth Timber & Building Supplies. The range has been selected using timbers sourced only from well managed and sustainable forests to ensure that a full Chain of Custody certification can be achieved.
