BES 6001 is the ‘Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products’ by the BRE. And, so in demonstrating the company’s continued commitment to sustainable buildings, Cedral manufactured fibre cement slates achieve a ‘Very Good’ performance rating.

Fibre cement slates offer tons of advantages, making them ideal for renovation projects. The fact that they are lightweight, come in several different colours and can be fitted with an extra layer of insulation are just a handful of their best attributes.

There was no doubt in 2017 that sustainable building and renovation were on the rise. Building regulations related to insulation were becoming increasingly stricter and more demanding. What’s more, many builders and renovators began opting for energy-efficient solutions of their own accord, that seamlessly combined a respect for nature and a focus on energy consumption.

Is your  roof undergoing renovations, or have you hit the roof phase of your new-build project? There’s no doubt about it – it’s a stressful affair! Selecting the material, colour and pattern aren’t the only issues you have to tackle. On top of that, you’ve also got to find a company you can entrust with such a huge investment.

In the construction world, BIM has become a trendy, frequently used term. BIM stands for ‘Building Information Modelling’, which creates a digital 3D-model and virtual rendering of a building. BIM models consist of objects linked to data on, among others, technical specifications.

Renovation is clearly trending. More and more homeowners want to create a new look for their homes. And depending on the state of the building, some are left with no other choice than to renovate. Fibre cement slates are the perfect material for any reason. In addition to their durability, quick installation and light weight, they also offer countless other architectural design effects and options.
