Vedelers Close Case Study

Rent to Buy properties in Vedelers Close, a new 2 and 3 bedroom development in the small and charming town of Wincanton in South Somerset feature SPSenvirowall’s RendaClad System. The new £1.8m development by Halsall Construction for social housing provider, Stonewater, features a selection of fifteen 2 and 3 bedroom affordable rent to buy properties specifically built to help people out of rented housing and onto the property ladder.

The properties are designed to be energy efficient to keep utility bills and housing costs low to help sustain tenancies. Application of SPSenvirowall’s RendaClad system, carried out by approved installers C&P Plastering, was the solution to provide thermally efficient and affordable homes. RendaClad was developed for applying a non-structural and seamless rendered rainscreen system to a timber framed substrate.

It replaces the need to build a structural masonry outer leaf that is finished with low-performance cementitious renders. The system ensures a fully ventilated and drained cavity is maintained within the wall structure, meeting the requirements of the NHBC and TRADA. The system can be applied to any wall structure, lightweight steel frame or masonry construction. The high-performance solution reduces overall construction time and cost with the application of RendaClad panels, thin coat renders which is far quicker and cost effective than the laying of traditional bricks and application of thick monocouche renders.

The properties in Vedelers Close utilises SPSenvirowall’s silicone render colours SC70 and BR35 from its extensive range including dornie red and standard grey EnviroBrick. Envirobrick is an attractive brick effect render, consisting of a cement-based through colour render, requiring only the addition of water. It provides the specifier with the ability to create brick effect finishes where traditional brick slips could not be used including a large variety of colours.

Located just a two-minute walk from Wincanton High Street, each of Stonewater’s smart new affordable homes at Vedelers Close now provides attractive and affordable homes to those struggling to get on the property ladder.
