Join the green scene K
lasse Group is excited to announce the launch of Outwear™
a high- performance sheathing board
designed to transform the construction of the building envelope. Created using a distinctive green finish it provides the important Euroclass A1 level of fire protection and is designed to be fully compliant on structures over 18 m in height. It is so easy to cut to size using a simple
‘score and snap’ technique which will negate the need for specialist tools andwill eliminate dust and noise on site. Fixing is simple using the dedicated
FixingPoint screws and can be easily handled as the boards are typically 30% lighter than traditional cement boards. This also allows them to be curved and used with a variety of facades including brick, timber, metal, render and rainscreen panels. As well as being A1 fully non-combustible,
it is water resistant and can be left exposed on structures with a 12-month guarantee before you need to complete
the cladding. Once installed it is backed up with a 12-year warranty to give added peace of mind. The versatile capabilities of Outwear™
makes it ideal for installation on modular buildings, concrete & steel frame buildings and timber frame buildings. Construction costs can be reduced by quick installation enabling internal trades to start quicker.
Klasse is a family run, British owned
manufacturer of adhesive solutions and multi-layer laminate protection solutions. Klasse’s specially formulated products are the result of years of development and testing by its chemists. Klasse products are successfully sold throughout Europe.

constructed in wood, it is one of the largest timber structures to be constructed in the country for a long time. It’s also unusual for the teaching method it employs which comprises student-centred learning and flexible open-learning environments. The school has also just won Denmark’s prestigious School Building of theYear 2021. Architects Arkitema conceived the design
The new forest of learning E
rlev school in Denmark’s Haderslev is visionary and award-winning formany reasons.With all columns and beams
based on the principle of a supported forest- like grid of columns in a fixed modular system. This supports high ceilings lined with Troldtekt acoustic wood wool panels to create quiet and attractive leaning areas. Pernille Svendsen of Arkitema Learning is
very pleased with the acoustic solution, comprising fine surface wood wool panels. She comments: “I think that the Troldtekt ceilings are a wonderful match for the wooden structures and the many interior elements in wood. Troldtekt is both an acoustic solution and also suits the overall
design catalogue for the school. The panels have a surface that is a bit rough, but in a good way. A school shouldn’t look too fine and polished. It should signal that it can withstand use, hanging things up, exhibiting and moving around. There’s room for change here.” The new school is divided into seven
clusters, one cluster for each year group from 0 to 6 and a maximum of 70 children in each year. They comprise a variety of spaces ranging from small private niches to multifunctional workshop zones. The varied environment encourages the school’s diverse instructional strategies togetherwith a strong focus on movement and physical exercise. Founded on the Cradle-to-Cradle design
concept, 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. In addition to their high sound absorption and tactile surface, they offer high durability and low-cost lifecycle performance. Available in

various sizes and in four grades fromextreme fine to coarse, the panels can be left untreated or painted in virtually any RAL colour. Samples, case studies and technical guidance are available from Troldtekt, while more information about this project can be found at
