Copper Trees

Perfection Homes Ltd specified Catnic's® Urban  Roofing and Cladding System to help create a modern and distinctive exterior for a collection of new apartments. The company then subsequently installed the panels after its director attended an Urban installation course at Catnic’s dedicated training facility.

Situated within the City of Hereford, The Copper Trees project will comprise of eight individual apartments in one luxurious building. Due to be completed in November of this year, residents are set to benefit from state of the art interiors, beautiful communal gardens and convenient parking facilities.

Shaun Galvin, Director at Perfection Homes Ltd, working alongside partner Gail Small, is actively involved in leading the developments within their project portfolio. With a desire to create a clean and contemporary aesthetic for the exterior of the new building, Catnic's® Urban Roofing and Cladding system was chosen for the wall cladding.

Furthermore, Shaun also installed the panels himself after attending a free installation course designed for those using the product for the first time, at Catnic's® Urban Training Centre in Caerphilly, Wales.

“The training day was extremely beneficial,” he explained. “Being able to take part in such a hands-on experience with the product highlighted its technical qualities in that it is lightweight, easy to handle and designed well. The training helped make the installation process on site much more efficient and it was completed in just five days.”

In addition, helping to meet requirements for sustainable building solutions – Urban is BRE Green Guide Rated ‘A’ and at end of life – the panels are 100% recyclable.

“The Catnic® Urban system was the ideal addition to the exterior of The Copper Trees development, creating a distinctive aesthetic in keeping with the brief,” concluded Shaun. “We would definitely work with the product again.”
