Marley has launched a new RIBA-accredited CPD for its Weatherboard external cladding range titled – ‘Modern Design Considerations for Rainscreen Cladding’.

Available in person, or online, the CPD has been designed to educate specifiers considering modern rainscreen cladding systems. The hour-long CPD seminar also supports specifiers and architects looking to gain knowledge on the various applications of rainscreen systems and its architectural uses.

Suitable for specification on residential and commercial buildings, today’s rainscreen cladding applications are creating a blend of contemporary façades and traditional aesthetics. Delivering greater design flexibility, increased weather and moisture protection, and enhanced thermal performance for sustainable building design.

Marley’s new CPD covers all aspects of its Weatherboard fibre cement cladding solution – ranging from the origins and current variants of the system, through to technical standards and guidance for system installation and detailing.

Renowned for its durability, low maintenance, fire resistance and sustainable properties, a fibre cement external cladding system, such as Marley’s Weatherboard, is a great option for specifiers looking to deliver attractive and high performing buildings.

Kevin O’Neill, National Sales Manager – Weatherboard for Marley, comments: “The creation of our new CPD, covering all aspects of rainscreen cladding, provides specifiers and architects with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of a product solution proving to be increasingly popular in the market.

“The RIBA-accredited CPD outlines the design considerations, performance credentials and technical angles, which are all essential to establish a full understanding of fibre cement rainscreen cladding and the many benefits it delivers.”
