EH Smith Winners at LEAF Awards
30 November 2007
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.
