Fibo panels: the perfect finish for Swindon new build nursery

Fibo wall panels have been used to clad the whole interior of a new build nursery in Chiseldon, Swindon. Paul Foggoa, Construction Manager of Swindon Borough Council, comments: “We were very impressed with the wall panels as they removed the need for plasterboard, dry-liners, decorators and tilers! The panels are now also being specified for the refurbishment of the main building at Chiseldon Primary School.”

The new nursery was built in just 22 weeks using timber frame and prefab insulated panels for a fast-track construction. A range of Fibo panels in different colours and designs were fitted throughout all seven rooms of the nursery. Fibo wall panels provide a watertight system that can be used in bathrooms, kitchens and as a decorative wipe-clean wall surface – ideal for educational buildings.

Paul Foggoa continues: “This was the first time we’d used wall panels. The Architecture and Construction Management team within Swindon Borough Council found Fibo via the website and it was agreed that the system suited the project really well. The panels are great for the environment, clean and durable and low maintenance too. The installation was quick and easy so it ticked all the boxes.”

Made from laminated birch, the tongue-and-groove Aqualock design means Fibo’s panel system is fitted quickly and easily, with a seamless waterproof finish. They come with a market-leading 15-year guarantee and provide a high quality, long lasting surface. It’s every bit as effective as a tiled one, but without the disadvantages – no grouting to clean and replace, no mould growth, low maintenance, shorter installation time and lower fitting costs.

Paul adds: “It’s a great quality product, I’m even considering using the panels at home. There really are no limitations!”
