New stable extension supplied by
Briarwood
EUROSIX fibre cement sheeting
coloured Anthracite and supplied by
Briarwood Products has recently
been a welcome addition to a busy
equestrian business in
Buckinghamshire. A new stable block
has been constructed to support the
high demand for equestrian eventing
in the area.
he EUROSIX fibre cement
sheeting with a ventilated ridge
system supplied for this project
was specified to increase
natural ventilation and
contribute to the comfort and
general welfare of the horses. Efficient
ventilation is very important in any livestock
building as it reduces moisture levels and
encourages a flow of fresh air to replace damp
stale air which can carry bacteria and disease.
Other major benefits of a fibre cement roof
are a maintenance free and watertight roof
covering with a natural vapour permeability
which minimises the effects of condensation
along with excellent acoustic insulation which
aids noise reduction from external weather
conditions such as rainstorms and hail. Horses
and most livestock can be upset easily by the
sound made by aggressive weather conditions

fibre cement which is only one reason why
EUROSIX from Briarwood Products was

high value equestrian stock.

EUROSIX fibre cement sheeting has many
advantages over alternative roof coverings
which will benefit the life expectancy and
efficient use of your building, Benefits
include vapour permeability (natural ability for
sheets to ‘breath’) thus significantly reducing
the possibility of condensation, excellent
acoustic insulation which reduces noise
within the building, completely weatherproof
roof covering and maintenance free after
fixing.
Specification of EUROSIX fibre cement
sheeting is full recognition of a product (fibre
cement) which is maintenance free and can
perform consistently and effectively as a
weatherproof roof covering in aggressive
atmospheres and specifically where livestock
is housed. Animal welfare and comfort is
such an important part of the design in most
agricultural building applications.
EUROSIX Fibre Cement roof sheeting

reduces condensation and is vapour
permeable which provides natural ventilation.
These benefits, along with being completely
rust free and with excellent acoustic
insulation properties are only some of the
reasons that a Fibre Cement roof cladding is
deemed to be the perfect cladding material
for any livestock building.
Clean fresh air within any livestock
building can be obtained by using any of the
EUROSIX ventilation systems or products
available from Briarwood Products.
EUROSIX fibre cement eaves to ridge
ventilation continually replaces stale and
moist warm air areas, which often can often
build up on the underside of the roof, by
allowing efficient and natural flow of clean
and fresh air to move within the building –
flowing in at the eaves level and out through
the ridge course.
