Turning net zero targets into high-performing buildings requires more than ambition. It demands the right combination of design, engineering, manufacturing and material innovation. At Plasyfelin Primary School in Caerphilly, Frameclad is putting its advanced light steel framing technology into practice on a landmark Net Zero school.


Being delivered by BAM Construction within the grounds of the existing school, the new facility will accommodate 420 pupils, alongside enhanced nursery and integrated childcare provision. Sporting facilities will also be available to pupils and the wider community, creating a multi- purpose education and community asset.

ECO-LSF builds on this inherent circularity by maximising the use of recycled scrap steel and reducing
