The extension of King’s Mill Hospital in Nottingham has been facilitated by the use of Corium – Baggeridge’s innovative clay cladding system.

King’s Mill Hospital is an acute general 600 bed hospital which serves Ashfield, Mansfield and the surrounding areas. Having recently undergone major renovation, the new extension wing, constructed from Kingspan’s steel frame modular building, now accommodates a new pathology unit. In excess of 800 square metres of Red Sanded, Smooth Red and Blue Corium tiles have been fitted on four elevations and also used for intricate feature banding.

Working within strict time constraints, the PFI project was completed in 12 weeks and it was for this reason that Corium was specified. Simon Hughes, Corium’s product development manager comments: “The speed at which Corium can be fitted, which can be up to three times quicker than traditional brickwork, means that major construction projects such as this can be completed in a fraction of the time.”

Corium is an innovative brick cladding system developed by Baggeridge Brick in conjunction with Terrapin International Ltd and Corus plc. It combines the aesthetics of traditional natural clay brickwork with the construction benefits of fast track cladding systems.
