BBA Approval, A Milestone in Product Assurance
We are proud to announce a significant achievement for TBS Cladding Solutions our Lightweight Arches have officially received BBA Approved Certification, further solidifying our commitment to quality, innovation, and industry excellence.
This milestone reflects not only the performance and reliability of our product but also the trust we aim to foster across the construction and architectural sectors.
For those unfamiliar, the British Board of Agrément (BBA) is one of the UK’s leading bodies in product certification, testing, and inspection. Their certification is a hallmark of credibility, technical integrity, and regulatory compliance. Earning a BBA Certificate involves rigorous evaluation processes, including on-site assessments, laboratory testing, and quality management audits.
The issuance of this certificate for our Lightweight Arches means that the product has met stringent performance and safety standards under real-world conditions. It is now recognised as fit-for-purpose in UK construction, delivering consistent results across a variety of projects.
Why This Certification Matters
In the current landscape of increasing regulatory scrutiny and heightened demand for building safety, BBA Approved certification is more than a badge, it’s a responsibility. For architects, specifiers, contractors, and developers, it provides assurance that a product will perform as expected and comply with Building Regulations and NHBC requirements.
This approval will not only support greater adoption of our Lightweight Arches across new developments and refurbishments, but it will also assist in securing planning approvals and tender opportunities where certified products are preferred or required.
About Our Lightweight Arches
Our Lightweight Arches are designed to offer aesthetic authenticity without the weight or installation complexity of traditional masonry arches. Suitable for both structural and non-structural applications, these units are engineered using advanced materials, ensuring they are durable, lightweight, and easy to handle on-site.
This solution is particularly valuable in modern construction where speed, thermal efficiency, and reduced labour costs are all critical considerations. Now with BBA approved certification, the arches not only look the part but also carry the technical validation the industry demands.
