Silva Timber's Western Red Cedar Shingles have been used on three new care units at Douglas Macmillan Hospice, North Staffordshire.

For patients requiring palliative care, Douglas Macmillan Hospice aim to provide the very best quality of life possible. As the hospice has grown in recent years, the organisation required new care units for patients in order to expand their services.
With a background in creating unique and special environments for various hospices, KKE Architects were chosen to undertake the design. From here the designs lead KKE to discuss Western Red Cedar Blue Label Shingles with the customer support team at Silva Timber and ultimately specify Silva's Shingles for the project.
Douglas Macmillan required three units for their hospice, with Western Red Cedar Blue Label Shinges making an ideal choice, not only for the roof, but the wall cladding too.
