This CPD is designed to equip attendees with in-depth knowledge of fibre cement roofing, focusing on its evolution, design principles, and seamless project integration across equestrian, industrial, and domestic sectors.Throughout the session, attendees will gain insights into the material's superior performance, including its durability, fire resistance, and sustainability credentials. Key learning outcomes include understanding technical specifications, design applications, and installation best practices, as well as exploring real-world case studies that illustrate the flexibility and aesthetic appeal of fibre cement roofing.Attendees will gain practical and technical knowledge to make informed decisions when specifying fibre cement for diverse projects, ensuring compliance with building regulations and advancing sustainable design.

This CPD covers the design, principles and benefits of specifying rainscreen, looking into the history of rainscreen it’s different applications and how it’s use has developed with the ever evolving construction industry demands. We will look at different fixing and support options as well as what other considerations drive the design of rainscreen facades. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:- What rainscreen cladding is and why it’s used.- Different support structures for rainscreen.- The factors that influence rainscreen layouts & applications.- The difference between well known fire classifications. - What Equitone is & the assistance on offer through specification.

CPD exploring sustainable façade design, covering aesthetic design, efficient construction and low energy consumption.

Our CPD discusses ventilated fibre cement rainscreen cladding systems, and more specifically about the related design principles and how you can integrate those principles into specifications. It talks about who we are, the history and composition/performance of fibre cement, principles of rainscreen cladding and the different installation options.It then delves into how fibre cement can be integrated into a wide range of projects utilising the different styles, finishes and flexibility of the material.
