Cladding system Corium has put a smile on housebuilder Kings Oak’s face after providing the perfect gable-end solution to a range of developments across the Midlands.

Because Corium is so light, it was ideal for use on Kings Oak’s timber frame modern methods of construction (MMC) homes eradicating the need for an additional internal supporting wall, and ultimately helping to create more floor space in the properties.

Kings Oak is amongst some of the UK’s leading house builders that are taking advantage of Corium and subsequently benefiting from the using the product which, fitted by qualified and approved installers as opposed to skilled trades such as bricklayers which are in extremely short supply, can cut build programmes by up to a third.

Baggeridge currently supplies Kings Oak with Corium for use on their residential developments across the country, including new home schemes in Banbury, Draycott, Redditch and Hall Green.

Simon Hughes, product manager, comments: "Developers need to construct as quickly as possible and as the success of Corium goes to prove, they are able to do just that.”

Corium is an innovative brick cladding system developed by Baggeridge Brick in conjunction with Terrapin International Ltd and Corus plc. The revolutionary patented Corium system comprises genuine brick tiles which have been specially designed to fix mechanically to a HPS200 steel backing section which are then mounted in rows onto the backing structure and the tiles are clipped into place.
