Safe & Sustainable products that endorse our Green credentials Woodman Brothers is committed to supplying quality products and services to our customers whilst operating our business in a safe and sustainable manner. This commitment is embodied in everything we do, from the supply chain to the workforce itself. The external cladding systems used by Woodman Brothers, are the most cost effective and energy efficient on the market today. Our systems wrap buildings in a seamless blanket of insulation. The benefit to the environment is simple - less fossil fuels are consumed for heating and cooling, resulting in a much smaller environmental impact and reduced heating costs. Health and Safety The Directors of Woodman Brothers have long since recognised the business needs and benefits of good Health and Safety. Woodman Brothers recently supported an employee to gain the NEBOSH qualification. This enables a level of in-house expertise and advice throughout the business. Lightweight, galvanized steel structural framing systems have become a very popular form of fast, cost-effective construction, providing greater design flexibility with a totally dry installation process. The product is a lightweight cold-rolled galvanised steel framing system. This is available as an infill system, typically fixed between a hot rolled or concrete frame, or an oversail system which is fitted outside the structural frame. These frames then work as carriers for interior wallboards and a variety of exterior cladding options such as insulated render, rainscreen cladding, timber cladding or natural stone. Woodman Brothers provide high-quality framing systems that are suitable for a wide range of applications in most sectors of construction. Our systems are structurally proven and rigorously tested to meet the demands of modern construction methods. Advantages of lightweight steel framing: n Early weather protection to the structure n Lightweight, dry construction n Provides lateral support for cladding systems n Easy to insulate thermally and acoustically n Fire resistant n Cost effective construction 7000m2 lightweight steel framing Crest Regeneration at Bath Riverside Professional service from tender to completion.

4 EWI SYSTEMS Modern, thermally efficient External Wall Insulation systems that totally encapsulate the external building structure, wrapping the building in a breathable envelope and maintaining comfortable inside temperatures all year round. EWI Systems are the most effective way of insulating a building, with the least risk of cold bridging and internal condensation. They also provide considerably improved energy efficiency, weather protection and visually transformed building aesthetics. The Systems comprise of rigid insulation boards fixed to the outside walls, then middle layers combining basecoats and mesh which give the system strength and impact resistance. This creates a thermal jacket, which is then coated with a weather protective, breathable, durable, attractive render finish. Our EWI systems are fully warranted with a range of design and specification options available across many building types. They are Energy Saving Trust Recommended and BBA approved, providing a high degree of thermal efficiency and vapor permeability. Each system can also be finished in a wide range of renders and architectural elements. EXTERNAL RENDER-ONLY Our range of renders is one of the most comprehensive in the UK and have been extensively developed and tested to perform specific tasks. Silicone and acrylic based materials that repel water, keeping the building dry and keeping the outside clean. Our renders are flexible, crack resistant and manufactured in hundreds of colours to your custom specification, providing the customer and designer with choices to create a facade of real appeal. With various finishes also available, our renders can be applied to most substrates and constructions.

5 SCRAPE RENDER TIMBER CLADDING Commonly preferred by major housebuilders such as Persimmon and Barratt Homes, scrape render is a relatively new process that became popular across Europe about ten years ago as a result of it s faster application, low maintenance and hard-wearing finish. The throughcoloured cement-based render has a finish that looks similar to weathered stone. When applied to a building s external surfaces, they are made to look plaster flat by being scraped with a nail float to create a decorative, superiorquality finish. One of the major advantages of a scrape render is that the finished surface is very hard-wearing, so that the colour doesn t fade and can be power-washed to looking as good as new after many years of exposure. Scrape renders also have significantly higher insulation and waterproof properties than you will find in traditional renders, whilst still allowing the structure to breathe. Another advantage is that the one-coat requirement means faster application with shorter programme periods, thereby reducing associated scaffolding and site costs and allowing the completion of ground works at an earlier stage. Scrape render has been designed for spray application and can be applied up to 28mm thick in two passes. Manual application is also possible. Woodman Brothers use a variety of scrape renders from Weber, Parex and K Rend. Specifiers should consult the Colour Chart and, whenever possible, obtain samples prior to specification. We also have experienced advisors to provide on-site advice both at the specification stage and during application. Detailed specifications can be provided for specific projects or more general works. Site visits and on-site demonstrations can be arranged on request. Excellent workmanship, quality and speed of delivery Ben Hale, Contracts Manager, Persimmon Homes Attractive and durable hardwood and softwood cladding is being increasingly specified on a wide range of projects, providing long-term performance with impressive insulation properties. The range of timber materials we work with cover all aesthetic and performance requirements and are obtained through certified sustainable forestry. We can recommend an extensive range from high-grade cedar to impact-resistant larch, providing a natural or specialist paint sealant finish. Bringing aesthetic charm to almost any building, wood s natural properties make it the perfect choice for industrial, commercial or housing projects. The team at Woodman Brothers Limited worked extremely hard with our design team and our other suppliers to come up with solutions Jamie Harwood, Project Manager, Cowlin

6 RAINSCREEN CLADDING THE CORE TEAM Woodman Brothers provide a full range of rainscreen cladding systems. From traditional timber and stone cladding to high-specification and technically advanced materials such as Trespa and Rockpanel which are easy to handle and work with, minimizing costs and installation times. Modern rainscreen facades are unsurpassed in quality and have been specially developed to be as durable as stone and as workable as wood. They are also dimensionally stable and able to withstand large fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Lightweight and flexible, they can follow the contours of any design and are available in a wealth of colours and textures, making design possibilities endless. Weather-resistant and requiring almost no maintenance, they will retain their looks for many, many years. Through our manufacturing partners and their extensive, research and development, Woodman Brothers can remove many of the technical and structural constraints associated with weight, enabling creative facades that are exacting in tolerance with panel sizes up to three square metres, yet still replicate the timeless beauty and substance of natural materials.
