Two cricket teams in Nottingham now have a new home thanks to Cembrit and its Alpina natural slates, as the aesthetically pleasing material has completed the look on a newly built cricket clubhouse.
Called the Field of Dreams, the new cricket clubhouse is based at the Meadows Recreation Ground in Nottingham’s Victoria Embankment. The project, which received a £150,000 Sport England grant, was the vision of the Trent Bridge Community Trust. With the original pavilion being old and dilapidated, the new clubhouse was built to provide four changing rooms, a kitchen, disability access, rooms for officials, and external viewing area.
Nottingham-based architect Maber worked with construction giant Willmott Dixon, with J Wright Roofing being sub-contracted to provide an economical roofing system.
Familiar with the benefits of Cembrit’s roofing products, J Wright Roofing specified and installed approximately 8,500 Alpina grey/green natural slates. Supplied quickly and efficiently by East Midlands Roofing Supplies, the roof was installed within a month.
Alpina is available in graphite and grey/green in a variety of sizes and has been tested to ensure it meets the current standard BS EN 12326-1:2004.
