Scottish Firm's Timber Used In Snake-Shaped Development

A Perthshire company supplied timber cladding to a snake-shaped housing development, matching the purple and yellow colours required by the design.

The Serpentine in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, is a continuous curved building with 94 homes.

The A Proctor Group used a natural softwood timber with a 50 year warranty against rot and decay, and an 18 year warranty against peeling and blistering of the stained finished.

A spokeswoman said: "There are extensive benefits to using Maibec timber cladding, including a proven history of the product. Along with the remarkable warranties, low maintenance and lifecycle cost mean that architects can specify this product with the confidence that the cladding will look amazing for years to come."


Speaking specifically about The Serpentine, she said the "unrivalled" and "stunning" development meets Building for Life and Lifetime Homes standards as well as the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3.

She continued: "The use of timber helps achieve a low carbon effect as well as producing a warm and natural look."

AutoCAD and PDF drawings of all the company's Maibec profiles can be downloaded from www.proctorgroup.com.

The timber can be sourced from responsibly managed forests on request.
