New age roofing technology from Oakland
Traditional flat roofs have long been the bane of the building industry. Bespoke building and refurbishment company, Oakland Projects, has introduced a new concept in flat roofing. Paul Sundborg, Operations Director of Oakland Projects, explained. “We have been installing super light yet extremely strong fibreglass flat
roof structures that are so reliable and leak free that we can also fit them with attractive skylights providing an extra ambience to an otherwise plain roof setting. Fibreglass roofs can be quickly and cleanly installed by our experienced fitters in much less time than traditional but old fashioned felters.”

A VMZINC standing seam roof in QUARTZ-ZINC® has been installed on the £6.8 million Ash Court student accommodation project at Girton College Cambridge. The new development, designed by Allies & Morrison, is an extension to the existing Grade II-listed college buildings and comprises 50 en suite bedrooms, a fitness centre and an indoor swimming pool. Passivhaus principles were followed in the energy-efficient design following ambitious environ-
mental targets set by the college. Use of triple-glazed windows, heat recovery ven- tilation systems, photovoltaics, ground source heat pumps and an upgraded heating system resulted in RIBA Special Sustainability and Green Apple awards.
