A. Proctor Scoop Wellington College Project

Scottish based firm A. Proctor Group has recently supplied approximately 650m2 of Royale Timber Cladding to a stunning project at Wellington College in Crowthorne.

Wellington College is an exclusive boarding school which dates back to 1859, when it was opened by Queen Victoria.

Beard Construction of Swindon recently built a new Sports Pavillion within the grounds which comprise of 400 acres of parkland. The college Bursar, with an eye to maintenance costs, requested a durable cladding material, which would not only look good, but would require minimal aftercare.

The A. Proctor Group provided a solution in the form of Royale, in Natural colour with a T & G profile.

Royale timber cladding comes in a range of natural looking colours with a standard 30 year warranty against rot/wood decay, thereby giving the specifier the confidence that this product will last.

Royale Timber cladding not only has superior weathering properties, but is also an environmentally sound exterior cladding which comes in various different profiles.

The Osmose treatment that is used for Royale gives the softwood typical properties of hardwood, by increasing the water resistance and stability, thereby enabling them to be used in applications generally more suited to hardwoods.

Royale is one of a range of timber cladding available from the A. Proctor Group. Maibec, another of the range, has a standard 50 year warranty against timber decay, and an 18 year warranty against peeling/blistering of the stained finish. This can be increased by a further 15 years, if re-coated during the original 18 year warranty period. Maibec is a factory stained solid wood and should a specific colour be required, this can be easily colour matched.
