EH Smith Winners at LEAF Awards

30 November 2007 | 0 Comments

We are proud to annouce that EH Smith Major Projects were selected as winners of the "Best Material Supplier to the Architectural Industry" at the prestigious LEAF Awards in London on Thursday 29th November for the Sir John Lyon House project in Central London.

David Roberts, Divisional Director stated "It is a great honour for us to be selected from such a large audience of suppliers."

The material used on this project is the innovative 'Hydrotect' coated Buchtal Keratwin K12 Terracotta Rainscreen tile.

Hydrotect uses a titanium dioxide (TiO2) coating that gives the tile 'self-cleaning' properties. When rain falls on the tile, it lifts off any dirt or bacteria and cleans the tile. It also cleans the air as pollutants stick to the tile and then wash off which gives it a unique sustainability benefit.

Situated on the banks of the Thames opposite the Tate Modern Art Gallery and set against the famous backdrop of St. Paul Cathedral, Sir John Lyon House is a striking new residential development.

The transition though the colours is a fine example of the versatility of the rainscreen cladding; if desired a different colour for each tile or even different colours within a single tile can be achieved, allowing freehand designs used for a large scale project.
