- Installation Description
- "The Bluclad construction boards give a good, stable surface and adhesion which with the weber.rend MT multi-coat render system provided a clean, simple aesthetic finish for the properties."
- Installation
- Which materials are specified and how they are used is a core element of the 2016 Zero Carbon standard - and hence a requirement of the Hanham Hall project. All elements had to perform to the highest industry standards, including fire, thermal and acoustic performance. [Siniat Bluclad](https://www.siniat.co.uk/en-gb/products-and-systems/products/external-boards/fiber-cement-boards/bluclad/) was installed horizontally in a stretcher bond pattern with a 3mm gap left between each board.

- Impact
- "Each and every material specified for this project needed to satisfy the strict criteria of the Carbon Challenge Brief - the Weber/Bluclad system met this brief - and provided the designers with the flexibility to design each unit individually. Bluclad is a well-established product which is practical to use on site."

Project description
Hanham Hall is a multi-award winning development of 185 homes located 7km from Bristol city centre. It will become the benchmark for sustainable housing development, meeting the projected 2015 Zero-Carbon targets. The project used cutting edge building technology in the form of SIPS panels which were tested for sound and airtightness by BSRIA and co-heating by Oxford Brooks University. Bluclad was an integral part of the SIPS panel, providing a substrate for the final external render finish.
