Cembrit Blunn - Jutland slates are 'on top' at award-winning housing project

Impressive curved roofing designs at award-winning retirement development, Denham Garden Village, have been created with the aid of Jutland slates from Cembrit Blunn. The durable, man-made Jutland slate range was selected by the project team to ensure the roof combined aesthetic appeal with the highest possible performance standards.
Owned by the Anchor Trust (the largest not-for-profit provider of housing, support and care in England) the Village is currently undergoing a £60m reconstruction by main contractor Inspace Partnership (part of Willmott Dixon). Comprised of 326 one and two-bedroomed flats and cottages, plus an impressive range of facilities, the new scheme recently picked up ‘Best Retirement Development’ at the Daily Telegraph ‘What House Awards’.
PRP was appointed by the Anchor Trust to design the project up to planning permission stage, and has subsequently worked with the main contractor on detailed designs and the working drawing package. As project architect, Colin Geere of PRP points out “The original intention would have been to use concrete interlocking tiles for the roof. However, the curved plan form of some roofs prevented this.” He adds “Jutland slates were selected as the most appropriate solution from both an aesthetic and economic viewpoint.”
Sourced and fitted by Michael Hall Roofing of London, Jutland is an attractive, flat, square-edged fibre cement slate that is manufactured to the highest European standards. Lightweight and pre-holed, Jutland slates are easy to handle and install and particularly suitable for this type of large-scale housing construction project where a cost-effective alternative to natural slate is desirable.
Jutland slates are manufactured using Portland cement with a non-asbestos formulation of superior blended synthetic cellulose fibres. The slates are finished with a high-quality semi-matt acrylic coating and produced to BS EN 492:2004, and manufactured under the control of a BS EN ISO 9001: 2000 quality management system.
