INSULATION Kingspan insulates inspirational rehabilitation centre Kingspan Kooltherm K15 Rainscreen Board has been installed on a new £1 million state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre for people who have suffered catastrophic sporting injuries. Opened in December 2017, the Get Busy Living Centre has been created by the Matt Hampson Foundation to provide a place where its beneficiaries can come to receive the latest physiotherapy treatments, spend time with their families and meet and socialise with those in similar situations to themselves. Designed to echo the size and aesthetics of the World War Two aircraft hangar that originally stood on the site, the copper and timber clad building features an open-plan layout with a large mezzanine platform to increase the internal space. As a charity, it was important that the building was as energy efficient as possible to reduce the long-term running costs. Nick Preedy, Construction Manager at Willmott Dixon explained: “The project has a number of energy generation and saving strategies, such as the solar photovoltaic panels and Air Source Heat Pump heating system. To maximise the energy and cost saving benefits of these solutions, without reducing useable internal space, Kingspan Kooltherm K15 Rainscreen board was selected, obtaining the highest standard of thermal performance for the project.” Cladding and roofing contractors, Sage Building Envelope Contractors, installed the Kingspan Kooltherm K15 Rainscreen board throughout the building envelope. The premium performance product features a fibre-free core and can achieve thermal conductivities as low as 0.020 W/m.K, resulting in a slim wall build up. It has also been assigned a highest possible Green Guide Summary Rating of A+ by the BRE and has been certified as ‘Excellent’ under the demanding responsible sourcing standard, BES 6001. It was the first insulation board for use in rainscreen cladding applications to achieve LABC Registered Detail. Louis Deacon, Commercial & Partnership Manager at the Matt Hampton Foundation, commented on the completed building: “The Get Busy Living Centre has been a dream of our founder, Matt Hampton, for many years. Determined to stay positive after sustaining life-altering injuries in a training session for the England U21 rugby team, Matt created the foundation to support others who have endured similar serious injury— with the ultimate goal of creating a purpose-built rehabilitation facility. The quality of the completed building is not only testament to his inspirational energy and drive, but will enable us to offer physical and mental support to those that need it for many years to come.” The project is being delivered by a number of local firms, many of which are offering their time, services, materials and expertise for free, including Willmott Dixon and Sage Roofing.

INSULATION Sweeping curves, classic simplicity and green credentials When it comes to clean, modern lines and ecocredentials, insulated render gives other types of cladding a good run for their money, as Justin Price, sales director at Aliva UK explains The £15m headquarters of Wrexham-based telephone answering firm Moneypenny is a deservedly award-winning project. Not only is the interior fit-out an exemplar for all UK companies, the exterior is stunning in its classic simplicity, with green credentials to match. Aliva worked with AEW Architects to craft a clean, crisp façade that wraps in unbroken lines around the curved exterior of the building, using 5,000sqm of our Termok8 insulated render system. The result? A finish that is withstanding the worst of the British weather - imperative in the building’s semi-rural location - and will continue to look great. The British Board of Agrementcertified render was chosen for its excellent thermal insulation credentials. The render’s selfcleaning and anti-algae staining properties will also ensure the building maintains its pristine finish for years to come. Insulated render is of course better known as a perfect cladding material for major refurbishment projects, particularly social housing. It is cost-conscious, straightforward to apply (with expert supervision) and keeps its clean good looks for years. It can also be combined with brick slips to enable restored buildings to stay true to their surroundings. In Salford, Greater Manchester, we delivered a cost-effective, high quality insulated render façade for a 1960s tower block that was being upgraded and modernised inside and out to meet current building and thermal value regulations. Wade House is part of the Barton Village project in Eccles, Salford, where major regeneration work is underway. Aliva UK was brought in by architects HLP Design to re-clad the first of several blocks, to ensure that quality standards for the exteriors remained high. The architect chose our Termok8 insulated render system in bespoke salmon pink plus blue smooth traditional brick slips and lightweight stock effect brick slips to over-clad the ten-storey block. The architect needed a lightweight solution to create a first-class aesthetic and thermal fabric for the building. The brick slips were chosen to complement the existing brick structure and surrounding buildings. The result was a bright, modern finish that transformed the look of an ageing building into an exemplar for 21st Century high-rise living. Because of the height and sheer expanse of the building, the architect required an insulated render that gave a consistent finish and strong, durable colour to ensure that the building kept its looks. Aliva’s Termok8 insulated render delivers all this, plus the self-cleaning properties that ensure the local community will remain proud of its renewed living space for years to come. Given that more than a third of the heat in a building is lost through its walls, high-quality insulated render that delivers a stylish, contemporary finish is a must for any energy-conscious building project. These contrasting buildings show that there is no limit to an architect’s dreams when it comes to using this versatile finish. www.alivauk.com/what-wedo/insulated-render/ REFURBISHMENT PROJECTS, JULY <strong>2018</strong> 19
