Landmark Lewisham project using A1 Magply for fi reproof pattress inserts
A new high-rise residential project in the London Borough of Lewisham is being built to provide high quality social housing, with the design of the structure prioritising the use of non-combustible materials: including the choice of A1 rated Magply boards for pattresses within the external walls. The development is being built by C Field Construction and IPE Developments to create a total of 56 one, two and three bedroom apartments, including three specially equipped units on the lower levels of one block for those with mobility issues. Within all of the high specifi cation homes, pattress blocks cut from 18 mm sheets of Magply boards, manufactured by IPP Ltd, are being fi tted to the reinforced concrete structure’s infi ll of heavy gauge steel studs by sub-contractor, SCL Interiors. The pattresses are being positioned to support kitchen cupboards and bathroom units as well as radiators throughout the eight and 10 storey buildings. While this use of the well proven and widely specifi ed Magply MOS boards has already been demonstrated on other multi-storey HMO projects across the South-east and elsewhere, the main contractor and client’s representatives rightly insisted on witnessing a demonstration of the product’s suitability for the application.

The powerful drive with high torque opens a door to 90O

door remains readily accessible due to the freely positioned activation of the lever by means of a pressure roller.
