ROCKPANEL façade cladding contributes to revamping Manchester skyline

Four 1960’s council blocks were extensively refurbished in Collyhurst, both inside and out. Northwards Housing collaborated with main contractors Manchester Working Ltd on the ambitious retrofit, including structural repairs and the fitting of new windows, ROCKWOOL insulation and ROCKPANEL façade cladding. The ROCKPANEL Chameleon façade boards which seamlessly change colour depending on the angle of view or level of natural light were installed on two sides of the 13 storey blocks. The boards were not solely specified for the aesthetic benefits its products can offer, but also their sustainable credentials.
