Kestrel reports year on year growth for Kavex
Building products brand Kestrel is reporting year on year growth in the popularity of its Kavex products.
The textured cladding range is available in both a shiplap and featheredge board, and is designed to give an authentic look of timber while being virtually maintenance free.
Available in five colours the textured cladding product is suitable for all buildings, but has a particular appeal to those with character properties who want a traditional look without the upkeep of wood.
Kestrel sales and marketing director Simon Reynolds said: "The Kavex textured cladding range is proving to be extremely popular with both speculative house builders and installers.
"One of the advantages for installers is that the shiplap version of this product comes in a 300mm option, making it faster to install."
Simon added that the trend for foiled, painted timber effect windows had led to a growing demand for Kavex. As a result Kestrel expanded the Kavex colour range include white, sand, light grey, light blue and cream in both shiplap and featheredge varieties.
Along with the 300mm width, Kavex also comes in a more traditional 150mm shiplap option, while the featheredge version comes in a 270mm width.
With its growing popularity in the UK, Kestrel is now opening up a new market for Kavex in Norway.
The manufacturer has partnered with a distributor close to Oslo and believes the quality of the product makes it a great fit for the Norwegian market.
Kestrel has traditionally focused on quality. The brand holds the BES6001 standard for responsible sourcing, has Kitemark KM 606759 and meets the ISO9001 and ISO14001 quality standards.
"The beauty of Kavex is that it can stand up to an extreme climate like Norway because it doesn't rot or need painting," Simon added. "Along with its durability, Kavex has an A+ environmental rating, fast installation time and 20 year guarantee."
The expansion into the Norwegian market comes after Kestrel reported a record OTIF (on time in full) delivery rate of 99.8 per cent in the UK, which it attributed to exceptional teamwork by staff both at its Scunthorpe site and in the field.
