Developed by [Coastal Housing Group](https://www.coastalha.co.uk/) and designed by [Holder Mathias Architects](https://holdermathias.com/), with support from the Welsh Assembly Government, the waterfront scheme overlooks the Prince of Wales Dock and sits just a 10-minute walk from the city centre. [Rockpanel mineral fibre cladding](https://www.sbscladding.com/mineral-fibre-cladding/rockpanel) was utilised on this reclad project, due to its close visual match to the original facade, alongside its A2 fire rating. SBS Cladding worked in collaboration with sub-contractors [M A Witcombe Ltd ](https://www.mawitcombe.co.uk/)to supply the mineral fibre cladding and fabricate the panels to the desired sizes. **Concept to completion** Originally built in 2012, Harbour Quay was praised for its eco-conscious design, winning a Green Apple Award for sustainability. Following the Grenfell tragedy, Coastal Housing Group decided to remove the timber cladding, replacing it with a non-combustible, A2-rated alternative, without compromising the development’s original aesthetic. Rockpanel was selected in the Woods finish, Alder, delivering a natural timber-effect appearance whilst offering the durability, low maintenance and fire resilience of stone. Its lightweight composition and quick installation also proved critical on a live site, allowing residents to remain in their homes throughout the recladding works. Now complete, Harbour Quay benefits from a refreshed, contemporary facade. The Rockpanel cladding has been installed in a distinctive arrangement of vertical and horizontal panels, enhancing visual interest whilst delivering long-term performance and safety.
