Walkeringham Primary Tops The County

The A. Proctor Group recently supplied 265m2 of their Regent timber cladding system to the Walkeringham Primary School extension project in Doncaster. Architects RFS Group had originally specified natural cedar cladding, but were impressed with the finish, appearance of durability of the Regent cladding, supplied with a 15 year warranty.

The extension project was carried out over the school holidays by contractors GF Tomlinson Building Ltd, who, along with the architects, were impressed with the finished result. The Regent was supplied coloured brown, and in the 20mm x 145mm shiplap profile. Underneath the cladding the A. Proctor Group’s Frameshield 100 breather membrane was also installed.
