An education in exterior laminate

MEG Exterior grade cladding in 781 Ash and 1831 Grey has been used on a new classroom extension to Hob Hill Primary School in Rugeley which encompasses new classrooms and a staff room.

The development, designed by Seymour Harris Architecture and installed by Tetraclad, uses an Ash woodgrain effect laminate fabricated into planks offset against the darker grey boards, which stand proud of the face contrast well together.

The scheme perfectly exhibits MEG’s high-performance design combining with its durability, low life-cycle costs and aesthetic design. This has been proved by recent site surveys on several schools a decade after installation where MEG panels have looked the same as when first installed.

The range comprises 58 colours and 29 woodgrains together with five concrete and metal effect finishes. MEG is also able to incorporate Abet’s digital printing technology. This means that almost any design, photograph or pattern can be reproduced in stunning detail to give architects and designers unparalleled freedom to create unusual and dramatic building facades.

MEG also carries a BBA Agrément Certificate and F1 panels from 6mm and thicker are rated Class B-s1, d0.

It is also a self-supporting high-pressure laminate (HPL) for cladding the exterior of buildings, balconies and other applications and features high resistance to temperature, climate shock, weathering, UV light and impact.

Furthermore, MEG’s chemical resistant nature and closed structure do not allow spray paint, various inks, emulsion paints, lipstick or pastel paints to penetrate into the decorative layer. This negates the need for any anti-graffiti treatment and makes the surface easy to clean.
