Aggregate Industries supplies building blocks to UK’s retirement developments
BUILDING materials manufacturer, Aggregate Industries, has proved itself as the supplier of choice in the construction of high quality and energy efficient retirement homes, having successfully supplied Masterblock concrete blocks to two prestigious retirement developments.
This includes Wixams Retirement Village in Bedford, a £44m scheme to build 230 apartments, alongside a range of communal facilities, including a village hall, library and IT suite, bar and bistro, fitness gym, hairdressing and beauty salon and shop.
For main contractor Galliford Try Partnerships, one of the main requirements when building the complex was making it as energy efficient as possible in line with U-value criteria between 0.22-0.23 W/mk, as well as ensuring a high strength build.
As such, by looking at Galliford Try Partnerships'
preferred materials, Aggregate Industries was able to suggest a solution which achieved the U value required. This included the supply of 38,000m² of MasterLite Pro, a lightweight concrete block designed for thermal efficiency and manual handling
considerations. For use internally and externally, the blocks are ideal for preventing heat loss which, as a result, makes an ultra-efficient home, vastly reducing the cost of heating for the homeowner.
MasterLite Pro is also currently the product of choice on another project
run by Galliford Try Partnerships – Arden Quarter in Stratford-upon-Avon. A mix of retirement apartments and new homes, the £40m development will also include a range of community facilities, such as retail spaces, a play area, pocket park, and café. In this instance, in addition to specifying energy efficiency requirements, the brief also included sound insulation.
