Specialist contractor, Lakesmere Ltd, specified and installed Rockwool's sustainable, environmentally sound mineral wool insulation.
Douglas Sheppard, procurement manager at Lakesmere, explained: "We used Rockwool's Flexi, RW5 and Duorock products for this development, because, in addition to providing excellent thermal performance, Rockwool products offer very high levels of acoustic control, they are non-combustible and are completely sustainable and environmentally sound.
"Rockwool Flexi and Rockwool RW5 were used in the external walls of five buildings on the site, which were constructed using a primary steelwork frame.
"The steel studwork was insulated with Rockwool Flexi, which was covered with Versapanel board, followed by layer of Rockwool RW5. The outer skin was finished with a breather layer and an aluminium rainscreen system.
"Rockwool's Duorock flat roofing boards were used to insulate elements of the roofs of the buildings."
