The existing timber cladding required extensive repair work before painting and so it was considered more cost-effective to replace it entirely.

The 25 warden-controlled one-bedroom units for the elderly have been given a new lease of life with vertically fitted 150mm Open V white cladding, a product unique to Swish.

 

Mike Rothwell, Maintenance Manager, explains, "This is part of an extensive maintenance programme for Torfaen County Borough Council. Our aim is to use products that are durable and low-maintenance, and look good, too. Swish cladding fits the bill."

 

The Swish cladding range consists of a choice of four styles in white and foiled finishes, and includes a comprehensive range of components, trims and fixings available for each type. The boards can significantly improve the thermal properties of the building, especially when combined with insulation.

 

Swish Building Products is the market leader in the manufacture and supply of cellular PVC-U roofline and cladding goods, which are available through a national network of plastic building materials stockists. White profiles carry a unique 15-year guarantee for appearance and performance.
