Bowled Over By Benchmark Façades

The warmth of wood against the cool strength of granite provides a winning combination of products from Benchmark on the new £1.6 million Worcestershire County Cricket Club members and players pavilion. The Ceramic Granite and Wood Composite façades were specified to provide sharp modern clean lines and were installed to all four elevations of the two-storey pavilion. The Wood Composite façade for the pavilion was specified in rich Rustic. The real wood veneers of the Wood Composite façades are sourced from sustainably managed forests, and a tough resin finish protects the wood. The hardwearing Ceramic Granite façade combines refined clays, quartz, feldspars and metal oxides to closely reproduce all the beauty and variation of natural granite or marble, but in comparison with naturally quarried materials, the loadings on the substructure and building exterior are dramatically reduced. A secret fix system for both products allows the materials to be presented in an uninterrupted smooth face.
