Sika donates green roof to facility aimed at tackling social isolation
L eading roofing manufacturer, Sika,
has donated over £7,000 worth of materials to a social enterprise in Salford which is creating a safe, indoor space to host events and activities aimed at tackling social isolation.
Created from two disused shipping containers, the new building is located at the Cleavley Community Forest Garden in Winton, which is run by Incredible Education CIC, a social enterprise providing nature- based services for local communities through horticulture and forest school activities. Prior to the arrival of the shipping containers, the garden and its activities were at the mercy of the weather, having no covered area large enough to protect groups or events from the elements.
Having access to the new covered space will enable the garden to host music events, health activities, parent and toddler groups and workshops all-year round; all with the aim of improving community connection.
the natural surroundings and nods to the land’s former use as a plant nursery. The system build-up included SikaBit
VB-724 Air and Vapour Control Layer (AVCL)
VCL, 100 mm Foil-faced
The building will primarily provide a secure indoor workshop to Salford community group, Working in Wood, which runs woodwork projects for anyone over the age of 18 looking to gain skills or meet new people. The group, which helps to tackle social isolation, has also been involved with the construction of the new building, having erected the timber frame surrounding the containers.
The two shipping containers were combined to form a 20 ft x 30 ft room topped with a Sika Green Roof, which blends in with
AL Sikatherm insulation and the new, sustainable roof membrane Sarnafil Advanced Technology (AT) – the UKs only Cradle to Cradle Silver certified single ply membrane. The membrane is not only independently certified in sustainability performance but as it contains no plasticisers, oils, chlorine or heavy metals it is ideal for sustainable construction. Topping this, the aluminium edge trim, SikaRoof drainage layer, SikaRoof Biodiverse
substrate and a SikaRoof
Wildflower Blanket, created a natural habitat for flora, fauna and wildlife. The wildflower blanket was laid in such a way to encourage the roof to self-germinate with local seeds blown by the wind onto the roof.

London School of Economics receives airtight solution
The Marshall Building, part of the renowned London School of Economics has been fi tted with the Wraptite external air barrier system from the A. Proctor Group. The impressive 10-storey building features pale stone cladding and is home to a series of educational facilities including lecture theatres, offi ces, classrooms, and a sports hall. Specialist contractor, I & S Construction, Dartford consulted with the A. Proctor Group’s technical team and selected the Wraptite air barrier to be incorporated within the external wall cladding system. Wraptite is the only self-adhering vapour permeable air barrier certifi ed by the BBA and combines the critical properties of vapour permeability and airtightness in one self-adhering membrane. This approach saves on both the labour and material costs associated with achieving the energy effi ciency demands in buildings. Wraptite is Class B1-s1,d0, compliant with Approved Document B Building Regulations for use in the external wall systems of buildings over 18m in height, both as a continuous layer on sheathing board, behind fi re classifi ed insulation, and for use to tape joints in insulation behind rainscreen.
