Euroform's Weatherclad meets brief for Ilfracombe homes

Euroform’s WeatherClad wood effect shiplap planks have been selected for Devonshire Homes’ new Ilfracombe development, Mariner’s Haven. Euroform is supplying the low maintenance, fibre cement planks, which are manufactured according to BS EN 12467: 2012+A2:2018 and have BDA Agrément certification, in six bespoke colours. 

Devonshire Homes has designed the Mariner’s Haven homes in sympathy with the landscape. A number of the house types will feature half shiplaped exteriors to reflect the character of the development’s coastal location in an elevated position overlooking Ilfracombe. Mariner’s Haven is delivering 347 new homes, including 38 affordable homes, ranging from one and two bedroom apartments to two, three and four bedroom houses. The first homes were released for sale in late 2024. 

Performance and look were key criteria for product selection for Devonshire Homes. Initially Euroform provided samples of eight bespoke colours, from which the housebuilder chose six to depict sand, grass, sea and sky. WeatherClad is also available in 21 standard colours, plus RAL and NCS colours on request, and Euroform provides a comprehensive range of colour matched profiles and trims. 

The natural timber effect of WeatherClad, with its random embossed grain, and the width of the board will both add to the pleasing look. WeatherClad boards are 230mm wide, wider than most similar boards on the market. 

WeatherClad carries third-party BDA Agrément certification from KIWA, a certification recognised by architects, specifiers, engineers and building control personnel. Certification confirms the product’s suitability and fitness for purpose in terms of performance and durability. WeatherClad has a European Classification of A2-s1,d0 for Reaction to Fire in accordance with BS EN 13501-1. 

Weatherclad is part of the range of Euroform’s Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessed products. 

Euroform has been developing, fabricating and supplying materials for the construction industry since 1995, specialising in ensuring fire and thermal compliance across its product range. It is part of the Performance Technology Group, a group of companies supporting the construction industry to meet acoustic, fire, thermal and vibration challenges.
