Southampton University - External Timber Cladding

This case study gives an overview of the BCL external timber panel system installed at Building 85, Southampton University. The secret-fixing panels, manufactured in Western Red Cedar are designed to minimise waste and installation time, whilst increase quality control. Building 85 is the first major UK project to employ BCL’s UV resistant timber panel system, allowing the external facades to retain the natural beauty of wood, without weathering or silvering. Subjects covered include: Secret-fixing timber systems, UV resistant wood panels, curved timber walls.
