INSULATION; SAFETY & SECURITY
Bare beauty with the new Urban Nude
Industrial kitchens are often designed in dark tones; yet the new Urban Nude kitchen from Keller introduces light shades such as sea salt, pictured here, from the trendy greige palette. It also highlights the beauty and versatility of glass units. Various new wood decors in ash tones have been introduced and designers can select
from unicolour or wood decor melamine; for a more luxurious look, a lacquer colour and/or a stained veneer can be specifi ed.

30/11/2023 11:28 WL (Wall Liner) insulation from the A. Proctor Group is addressing the need for improving the
thermal performance, and helping to reduce heating costs of a 1970s building with limited internal space. To make the space feel bigger, the architects created a split level, giving the majority of the space to the living areas and compromising on the size of the bedroom. The bedroom, essentially a little cube, juts out from the rest of the fl at, meaning there are three external walls; it’s also partially sunk into the ground. Additionally, above the ceiling is the pedestrian deck, so again, no insulation. All this amounts to a very cold room. Designer Stefi Orazi from Modernist Estates who lives in the fl at explains: “I started researching different insulating materials, but because of the size of the room (it’s about 2.5 x 2.5 m), I really couldn’t afford to lose any wall space with regular insulation. I then came across Spacetherm WL made by the A. Proctor Group. This seemed ideal as it’s only 13 mm thick, and you can glue it directly onto the wall, plus you can do it yourself and can download the installation guide direct from their website.”

Proctor_Insulation_DPR.indd 1 New Knauf Insulation solution debuts on UK’s largest live entertainment arena
Knauf Insulation has launched FactoryClad Roll 35, a non-combustible glass mineral wool solution for built-up metal walls and roofs with the lowest embodied carbon of any equivalent 35 lambda mineral wool product on the UK market. FactoryClad Roll 35 was specifi cally developed to insulate the 12,000 m² roof of the new Co-op Live arena in Manchester, one of Europe’s largest and most sustainable live entertainment arenas. “Co-op Live is a project that places sustainability at its heart,” explained Liliya Luke, glass mineral wool product manager at Knauf Insulation. “So it was essential our new FactoryClad Roll 35 not only delivered the required thermal effi ciency but met the project’s sustainability requirements.” FactoryClad Roll 35 is non-combustible with the best Euroclass A1 reaction to fi re classifi cation. Because it is made of mineral wool, it also acts as a sound absorbent lining within built-up metal roofs, so will help control the reverberation of internal sound. It comes in fi ve thicknesses between 60 and 220 mm and is manufactured at a width of 1,200 mm for speed of fi tting. It also has a high tear strength which ensures its durability.

nsulation.co.uk/products/factoryclad-roll-35 ADF01_Knauf_Insulation_DPR.indd 1 Sto helps to maximise fi re safety across two residential towers
An external wall insulation (EWI) system designed by Sto has ensured two residential tower blocks meet stringent fi re safety requirements. Located in Tower Hamlets, Gayton House and Sleaford House are managed by housing association Poplar HARCA. Following amendments to Building Regulations, which banned the use of combustible materials in external walls of high-rise buildings above 18 metres, StoTherm Mineral K was specifi ed to replace the existing EWI system. BBA-certifi ed, StoTherm Mineral K comprises mineral fi bre insulation boards and the system is classifi ed with an A2-s1, d0 reaction to fi re in accordance with BS EN 13501-1. Working on behalf of Westminster Building Company, Square 1 Architectural Solutions was responsible for removing the existing EWI and installing the StoTherm Mineral K system onto four elevations on each 23-storey block. The non-combustible mineral fi bre insulation boards were secured to the existing concrete substrate using adhesive and mechanical fi xings, and without the need for additional expansion joints.
