EXTERNAL ENVELOPE
Historic hangar buildings transform with Sto
An external wall insulation system manufactured by Sto has helped to renovate historic hangar buildings at Pembroke Dock in Wales. Architects Purcell specifi ed Sto to upgrade annexes connected to two hangars, allowing them to be transformed into new offi ce and workshop spaces. For both projects, the StoTherm Mineral M external wall insulation system was selected with a Sto render facade fi nish, and includes mineral fi bre insulation boards providing a high level of fi re protection and thermal performance. Main contractor R & M Williams fi xed the insulation boards to cement particle boards, installed to the light-streel frame structure, with Sto-Rotofi x Plus mechanical fi xings. Sto’s extensive StoColor system enabled the facade of the new annexe to be fi nished in a blue resin StoSilco K1.5 render to match the colour specifi ed by and signed off by the conservation offi cer. For the extension, the render was colour matched to the existing lime render. StoColor Silco G silicone resin facade paint, applied as a fi nal fi nish to the Sto render, has also provided high levels of water repellence and resistance to algae and fungus growth, which is essential given the hangars’ close proximity to the sea.

As home renovation remains popular, and with the focus being on the acquisition and refurbishment of rural properties, this has resulted in Steel Window Association (SWA) members reporting a higher than usual demand for the replacement of the traditional W20 style windows. The president of the SWA and contracts director at Associated Steel Window Services, Kris Bennell, comments: “W20 steel frames are the ever reliable, ever popular
traditional option for the sector, which are liked by both planners and heritage bodies for use in a host of different property types.”
