Marmox Thermoblocks specifi ed on Wigan PassivHaus development
The fi nal phase of a PassivHaus development is just getting under way in Wigan with high performance Thermoblocks from the range of Marmox being used to counter cold bridging beneath a highly insulated timber frame construction. The St. Mary’s project is being under taken for Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council by principal contractor, Tyson Construction with Pozzoni Architecture being the lead architectural consultant and BTP Architects gilling the roll of specialist PassivHaus assessor. All of the Thermoblocks in 100 mm and 140 mm widths, along with boxes of the special Marmox 360 adhesive are being supplied by Travis Perkin’s Blackpool branch. The scheme to provide much needed affordable and easy to heat new homes has been part-funded by the Government’s Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities. When complete the development will provide eight one-bed apartments, nine two bed houses and ten three bed houses, plus a further four with four bedrooms. There will also be 16 one and two bedroom bungalows.

PR.indd 1 Wraptite® is the solution for Dundee young persons’ home
The Wraptite external air barrier system from the A. Proctor Group has been chosen for its high performance airtight insulation for a new home for young people in Dundee, Scotland. The new £3m single-storey building will be a home for some of the most vulnerable young people in the city where they can grow up in a supportive and caring setting. The project design includes en-suite bedrooms, shared living space, dining, kitchen, and activities facilities, and accommodation for staff. Robertson Construction Tayside appointed Robertson Timber Engineering as the timber frame manufacturer and supplier for the project. Nicola Jackson, Net Zero Projects Lead at Robertson Group explained: “We fi tted the Wraptite membrane in our factory in Elgin. A very helpful toolbox talk and practical demonstration was delivered by the A. Proctor Group representative to operatives and the design team prior to developing detailed design information. We are happy with the performance of Wraptite and would certainly consider it on future projects.” The Wraptite air barrier system provides a fully self-adhered vapour permeable air barrier certifi ed by the BBA.
