project’ s developer, Roof Brothers. The product was then installed on the upper half of the building façade on each of the new build homes constructed at Rosebury Farm.
Victor Wakefield, Company Director at Roof Brothers commented:“ We have used the system numerous times before this project, so for us it was the obvious choice. The installation process is straightforward and well thought through. The horizontal CUPACLAD ® profiles fix directly onto the timber subframe, which allows you to build up the façade quickly and accurately. The pre-holed slates and dedicated CUPACLAD ® 101 screws make positioning and fixing clean and consistent, saving time on site.
On this project, we had large window openings to work around, but the system is flexible enough to accommodate that without issue. The slates can be trimmed precisely where needed, and details such as powder coated aluminium window flashings and lead junctions integrate neatly with the façade.”
CUPACLAD ® is a fully BBA approved, Class A1 noncombustible, back ventilated and drained façade system that provides architects and specifiers with a myriad of design options, from traditional to
contemporary. Thanks to the use of natural material and recyclable aluminium substructure, the system is sustainable and ecological. Furthermore, the natural slate goes through a simple production process that does not use any chemicals – and one that requires less water and energy than alternative roofing products. As a result, CUPA PIZARRAS is Net Zero certified and has a EcoVadis Gold Medal and BRE Global verification of its EPD.
As with all CUPA PIZARRAS slate, the CUPACLAD ® 101 Logic offers unbeatable quality as it is both durable and resistant. The waterproof slate is also capable of enduring extreme temperatures without compromising on performance. Finally, the slates have a lifespan of over 100 years without the need for further maintenance, upholding their timeless appearance.
The owner of the properties at Rosebury Farm commented:“ CUPACLAD ® 101 Logic is a high quality and beautiful product. The Roof Brothers team did a great job with the installation and the longevity and durability of natural slate provides peace of mind- we are delighted with the finish.”
