Shackerley Secures ‘All-Encompassing’ BBA Certification For Sureclad®

Now for the first time, thanks to Shackerley, architects wanting to use some of the very largest ceramic granite panels available can specify an offsite prefabricated façade system, designed and manufactured in the UK, that also offers the reassurance of British Board of Agrément (BBA) certification.

Shackerley, the UK’s leading manufacturer and prefabricator of ceramic granite ventilated cladding, is in the unique position of having attained BBA certification for its Sureclad® Access and Hang On systems that specifically covers the use of larger format ceramic granite façade panel formats measuring up to 1200mm x 1200mm.

The Lancashire manufacturer’s patented systems have been assessed by the BBA not only for compliance with current Building Regulations but also for meeting all the more demanding guidelines set out by the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology.

Shackerley Chief Executive Brian Newell commented: “Within our Sureclad® Collection architects will find an vast range of ceramic granite façade panels, including the very latest large formats which provide exciting aesthetic design options for external envelopes of new and refurbished buildings, and in particular for projects of a larger scale.

“Having invested heavily in our own bespoke and highly specialised engineering facilities at our ISO 9001 certified factory in Lancashire, we have the inhouse capability to fully prefabricate these exceptionally large ceramic granite slabs and transform them into installatio ready Sureclad® façade panels. “BBA certification across such a diverse product offer, including the latest 1200 x1200mm panels, can only help to convince those who remain unfamiliar with Sureclad® to specify our systems for their future cladding projects.”
