SUSTAINABILITY
Rainwater harvesting with a capacity of 30,000m³ will serve the toilets in the main offices, giving an estimated water saving of 3000 litres per day. The car park will feature EV charging, dedicated bicycle parking and car-share parking spaces.
A pre-build ecosystem evaluation has allowed planning for noise, existing plant retention and replanting, a wildlife migration strategy, the creation of an attenuation pond, and compensation for nesting and roosting habitats. An external living wall is being installed on the main office façade.
Some of Kerakoll’s own range of products are being used for the surface finishes in the offices, which have been designed with the health and wellbeing of staff in mind. Natural light and air quality have been made priorities. Moss walls will feature on each floor of the reception areas, with plants and greenery throughout the offices. There will be an internal canteen and relaxation areas on all floors.
The new site will also feature a fully equipped R&D lab of 230m² separate from the Quality Control laboratory for the development of sustainable, innovative products for the UK market.
The company’s approach to product development fits with the overall approach to sustainability, that is, to make products
that perform excellently and do the least possible harm to the environment to enable the construction of safe, healthy and beautiful buildings. This means researching materials and processes to reduce the impact on the environment, with a built-in respect for natural resources and the circular economy.
The company’s flooring offering includes the Proflow range of smoothing compounds. This features five different products, covering all possible site, substrate and covering requirements. They include Proflow Smooth, the best-selling product in the range which gives a free-flowing smooth finish, and Proflow MVS, a revolutionary new product which has a built-in moisture vapour suppressant barrier that is effective up to 95% RH, removing the need for a DPM and thus condensing a potential three-product application into one single application. The double component product is free-flowing, with excellent self-smoothing properties giving a flawless surface finish.
