Walls
Bank is fully protected by Remmers
The facade of a Grade 1 listed, four storey high building in London
required extensive stone and concrete restoration. Concrete &
Corrosion Consultancy Practice was appointed as technical project
managers for the refurbishment works.
The ornate stone and cornice banding of the facade were being
corroded through excessive weathering. Remmers protective coating
systems were chosen to meet the highly demanding specification
and multiple facade finishes including Limestone.
Repairs were carried out using Betofix R2, a high build, fast
curing concrete repair mortar. Remmers Restoration Mortar was
also selected for its ideal restoration and reprofiling properties for
masonry as well as ornamental building elements.
Finally, Remmers Elastoflex Facade Paint was applied for its
excellent anticarbonation characteristics, resistance to weathering
and crack bridging ability.
The works were completed within budget and ahead of the tight
program, to the clients delight!

Use of Proctor membranes at unique
self build site in Aberdeenshire
Kladfix supports £70m Soapworks scheme
in Manchester
Kladfix, the rainscreen cladding
support system specialist has
supplied their KX03 fittings to
the new £70 million Soapworks
scheme in Manchester. The redevelopment of the former ColgatePalmolive factory in Salford Quays
will offer 400,000sq ft of office
space, including a range of on-site
amenities.
The A Proctor Group recently
supplied Roofshield, their unique
air and vapour permeable pitched
roof underlay to an excusive self
build project.
To complement the specification,
for the walls, Reflectashield TF
0.81 high performance breather
membrane was used on the outside face with Reflectatherm Plus
vapour barrier on the isde which
assisted in achieving a U-value for
the walls of 0.12 W/m2K. The roof
panels also had Reflectatherm Plus
vapour batter on the inside with
Roofshield on the outside, contributing toward a final U-value for the
roof of 0.11 W/m2K.
Scotframe, in association with Hybrid Build Solutions, have recently
started work on a ‘ground breaking’
new house project at Oyne near
Inverurie in Aberdeenshire.
The Soapworks refurbishment
project has transformed a disused
boiler house into a sustainable
commercial building which provides
20,000sq ft of office space.
The project will involve manufacturing for the very first time, the
‘CLTherm’ concept, which is a combination of CLT slab and Scotframe
Val-U-Therm panels. The house
has some very distinct features
and will showcase a large number
of CLT and Val-U-Therm panels,
pushing the boundaries in efficient
construction.
