RCM is celebrating an ‘exceptionally successful’ Ecobuild show in London with the largest RCM exhibition stand to-date.
This year’s Ecobuild at ExCel held from March 6-8 in London was reportedly well-attended and drew a lot of interest from a wide audience. The show is advertised as the number one event for forward-thinkers in the built environment and featured the latest developments in the industry.
RCM’s presence, as a through wall solutions supplier is said to have proved an important addition to the already ‘impressive’ exhibitor list.
A complete new 30m2 exhibition stand, the largest RCM stand to-date, together with new samples of the complete façades and building boards range is said to have underpinned RCM’s ‘growing popularity’ as a ‘trusted’ supplier of complete wall solutions to the industry.
RCM says there was a colourful display of its Supertech Weatherboard cladding, which was part wall-mounted and part sunk into the floor and covered by clear perspex, so it could be walked on. Interested visitors were also able to take small samples of RCM’s building boards and façades away with them on the day.
The stand was mostly built out of Cemboard, RCM’s rigid, medium density, cement-bonded particle building board, ensuring that the actual product itself formed part of the exhibition stand. Colourful façade samples and RCM’s Supertech Weatherboard cladding are said to have stood out against the grey backdrop of the Cemboard.
Amy Baker, marketing manager RCM, said: “Building such a large stand presents its own challenges. We used the space wisely and included a segregated meeting area, to sit down and talk. A louvre wall design feature separated the area to visitors and the grey Cemboard was accented throughout the stand with a red trim. We also used four rotating suspended modules demonstrating a different complete through wall solution on each side to give visitors a complete understanding of how the different components fit together. This was also a good opportunity to showcase Rockpanel, RCM’s latest addition to its growing portfolio.
“There were a further two suspended modules each showing a 60-minute fire-rated solution. One was an internal solution and the other one was an external solution. Both were set against a background of an impressive backlit fire feature.
“Our façade ranges were also shown. These added some exceptional colour to the stand, enhancing the overall visual display of RCM’s product range.”
Ian Quinton, managing director RCM, said: “Judging by early results, the Ecobuild show promises to have been extremely successful for RCM. We’ve had numerous enquiries from existing and prospective customers and a lot of interest was shown in RCM’s products and services.”
