Rockwool specified for landmark project in central Manchester

摘要

A Landmark project in the centre of Manchester by Rockwool Insulation has been specified and installed to provide two new tower blocks with a facade system that ticks all the boxes - fire prevention, thermal insulation and an aesthetically pleasing external appearance. Although its location in Cambridge Street is one of the development's biggest selling points, it presented a challenge for the construction teams. To fit in with the local surroundings, the contractor required an insulation solution to comply with all building regulations, including a U-value of 0.1 8W/m~2 K, and to withstand external elements and ensure a quick and undisruptive installation phase. As Rockwool Rainscreen Duo Slab is approved by the local authority building control as an acceptable solution for projects above 18m, Manchester-based building contractor, Renaker Build specified 13,000m~2 of 125 mm Rainscreen Duo Slab.
