Pasquill supplies glulam and i-joists<br />
for first ‘multi-comfort’ building<br />
concept project in the uk<br />
Pasquill, part of the<br />
Saint-Gobain Group, has<br />
provided Glulam and<br />
engineered timber I-<br />
joists as part of the first<br />
project in the UK to be<br />
built to ‘Multi-Comfort’<br />
standards.<br />
The Multi-Comfort<br />
building concept, launched in the UK at EcoBuild last year, takes<br />
a holistic approach to the design and construction of buildings.<br />
Together with Associated Architects and building contractor<br />
Speller Metcalfe, the Multi-Comfort approach is being adopted on<br />
a new £1.2m multi-purpose sports and drama hall for one of<br />
Worcestershire’s leading independent schools.<br />
The JJI-joists and Glulam supplied by Pasquill are being used in<br />
the form of eight curved portal frames as the main structure of<br />
the building, together with associated straight and cambered<br />
beams. The engineered timber JJI-joists are forming stud walls,<br />
and more JJI-joists are also being used in the roof. JJI-joists<br />
used in the walls in this way have created the ideal wall depth<br />
required for the insulation used, and all of the products will help<br />
the building to achieve both Passivhaus and Multi-Comfort<br />
standards.<br />
