Blue Sky thinking transforms disused barn
Blue Sky Barn is a fascinating conversion of a disused barn into a four-bedroom family home. Situated on a farm in Norfolk, architects 31/44 have used form and materials to preserve the memory of the original agricultural structure in order to create a stunning new residential and leisure environment with enhanced levels of comfort and refi nement. The interior design fulfi ls the wish of the owners to preserve the original raw and cavernous character while avoiding overtly domestic fi nishes. With such a large spacious interior, including a 15 m long swimming pool, the architects needed to fi nd a solution for reverberating sound and acoustic dampening. As a result, Troldtekt’s wood wool panelling has been used throughout the living and pool areas to combat and soften elevated noise levels. Troldtekt is a perfect choice for this kind of application. Consequently, Troldtekt Fine panels were specifi ed for their sustainable characteristics coupled with superior acoustics to provide a comfortable interior environment. Troldtekt’s natural and inherently sustainable panels are available in a variety of different surfaces and colours and contribute positively to a building’s BREEAM, DGNB and LEED ratings.

Products from F. Ball and Co. Ltd.’s System LVT range, including the company’s fast-track, fi bre-reinforced transitional adhesive, Styccobond F58 PLUS, have been used to install luxury vinyl tiles in a modern self-build property in Cambridgeshire. F.
Ball’s Stopgap F77 waterproof surface
membrane was used to create a barrier to prevent excess subfl oor moisture attacking adhesives and fl oorcoverings, potentially causing fl oor failure. The contractors used Styccobond F58 PLUS and Styccobond F49 Hybrid PS temperature tolerant, moisture resistant, pressure sensitive adhesive to install wood-effect LVTs over the 372 m2 area.
