Vivalda, the UK’s largest distributor and fabricator of rainscreen facades, is now stocking James Hardie cladding panels at its branch in Scotland.
Holding significant stock levels of Hardie® Panel - typically in grey, whites and blacks - at its Cumbernauld branch allows Vivalda to supply contractors with panels and accessories on a consistent basis, with no need to wait weeks for products.
William Barlow, branch manager at Vivalda Scotland, said: “Our large facility to the east of Glasgow allows us to hold substantial levels of stock, meaning that we’re able to supply Hardie® Panel on a just-in-time basis, without the lag associated with some competitor products. Even better for contractors in Scotland, our on-site CNC-controlled beam saws allow us to provide Hardie® Panel cut-to-size, with pre-drilled holes and fixings as required. This enables a far more efficient and defect-free installation on-site.”
With an A2 fire rating and a 15 year warranty, Hardie® Panel comes in a thickness of 8mm and 11mm. Available in any RAL colour and four textures (smooth, smooth sand, brushed concrete and metallics), Hardie® cladding is becoming increasingly popular with architects and developers looking to achieve a clean, modern aesthetic, without the higher cost associated with traditional quarried stone or marble façade.
