Euroform’s wood effect fibre cement shiplap planks have been used by @Home MMC to finish 57 modular homes, part of a new scheme of 154 transitional homes in Cardiff.  With its natural timber look, WeatherClad® is designed for external applications where durability and performance are required.

Cardiff Living’s development Ffordd-y-Rhaffau in Grangetown, a partnership between Cardiff Council and Wates Group, provides temporary accommodation for 154 families while the Council works with them to find a more permanent housing solution.  The last few units were handed over to the Council in October.

Built offsite by modular construction company @Home MMC using modern methods of construction, following groundworks, the energy-efficient, one to four-bedroom homes were transported to site and lowered into position.

Euroform supplied WeatherClad® in a range of colours to @Home MMC’s manufacturing facility.  The planks are easy to work and fix.  A comprehensive range of colour matched profiles and trims were also provided.

Conformity assessed to BS EN 12467:2012+A2:2018, WeatherClad® carries third party BDA Agrément certification from KIWA.  It has a BS EN 13501-1 Reaction to Fire classification of A2-s1,d0.  Weatherclad® is part of the range of Euroform’s Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessed products.*

With funding from the Welsh Government’s Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme, Ffordd-Y-Rhaffau, which is on the site of a former gasworks, is part of the Council’s response to tremendous pressures on housing and homeless services in the city.

Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, Cllr Lynda Thorne: “Our innovative modular development at Ffordd Y Rhaffau has delivered modern, comfortable and energy-efficient homes for families experiencing homelessness in considerably less time than via traditional construction methods. This has been a crucial part of our response to the city’s housing emergency and we are very pleased to have delivered a safe and welcoming place for families to stay as we support them in finding permanent housing solutions.”

WeatherClad® can be purchased from Euroform in split pallets, helping customers to avoid waste.  There is no minimum order.  Euroform has an easy-to-use online tool for calculating the number of boards required for projects: https://www.euroform.co.uk/weatherclad-calculator/
