ALUMASC PROVIDES GREEN ROOF FOR PIONEERING ECO-SPA

摘要

Alumasc has provided a stunning ZinCo green roof for Coworth Park Hotel Spa, the 'ground breaking' new eco-luxury spa opened by the Dorchester Collection.The luxurious spa is situated in Ascot on the borders ofWindsor Great Park, buried within the natural contours of the landscape.The building is camouflaged by the ZinCo green roof which is also being used to cultivate thyme, lavender; chamomile and other fragrant herbs for use in natural treatments at the Spa.The pioneering design by architects, Purcell Miller Tritton, has kept the building's volume and footprint to a minimum whilst intimately relating the spa to its sensitive green belt setting.Throughout the design and installation, Alumasc liaised closely with Purcell MillerTritton to find the optimum solution for the unique semicircular design of the Spa's pitched curved roof. A total of 700m2 of extensive and semi-intensive green roof systems were installed by M&J Flat Roofing over a Derbigum Warm Roof waterproofing system, also from Alumasc. Derbigum is a high performance membrane which was specified for its exceptional long-term performance and durability. Derbigum is BBA Approved and manufactured under the ISO 14001:2004 and EMAS Environmental Management Standards.
