Sundolitt XPS – Provides Strength and
Stability in Sustainable Green Roof
A state-of-the art green roof is set to provide warmth and
protection as well as a perfect natural environment for
flora and fauna in a new £8million community care centre in picturesque Darley Dale in Derbyshire. And at the
heart of the inverted ‘green roof’ solution is Sundolitt
XPS, the extreme strength, extruded polystyrene sheet designed to provide high insulation levels, strength and
rigidity.
The UK’s leading independent green roof installer, BBS
Green Roofing Ltd, was briefed to provide and install the
high-tech yet natural roofing solution for the Meadow
View Community Care Centre.
Sundolitt XPS is already a preferred solution in industrial
floors such as cold stores and chilled warehouses where
high insulation, high strength attributes are critical but is
also becoming increasingly specified in inverted roof
applications.
Sundolitt’s UK expert team can help and advise architects and
specifiers on the most appropriate XPS specification for their
needs. Specifiers can call the UK Head Office on 01786 471 586.
Elderly Residents Enjoy Low Cost Reliable
Heatingfrom Ideal Commercial Boilers
Four Ideal Commercial Evomax 80kW wall hung
condensing boilers, Frame & Header Kits and brand new
Plume Kits have delivered time, space and cost savings
for New Forest District Council after being installed at
Marryat Court Older Persons Living Accommodation in
New Milton, Hampshire. As well as delivering reliable,
efficient heating and hot water to thirty-four individual
flats, the council has estimated that this refurbishment
project will save them up to 25% per year in fuel costs.
The new Evomax boiler system was designed and installed by Rob Sowden, Commercial Gas Engineer for
New Forest District Council. Rob worked with Ideal
Commercial Boilers technical specialists at the design
stage and throughout the project. He commented, “As
usual the technical backup from Ideal Commercial was
exceptional, especially with the specification of the new
Plume Kits to ensure their termination over the first floor
flat roof complied with the Clean Air Act.”

Miller Installations finds Smith’s
EcoPowerad® Solves Air Source Heat Pump
Challenge!
Miller Installations, Norfolk, has found the perfect heat
emitter for solid wall homes using air source heat pumps:
the EcoPowerad® fan convector from Smith’s. Miller
Installations specialises in air and ground source he at
pump installation as one of its renewable solutions and
owner Peter Miller had considered alternative heat emitters, such as smart radiators but he found them too
expensive with too many unnecessary features which
made the project costs for his customers unrealistic.
This particular project concerned a home which had an old
oil-powered boiler and radiators that struggled to successfully keep the solid wall home sufficiently warm.
Miller Installations recommended an air source heat pump
paired with Smith’s EcoPowerads in all downstairs rooms
and traditional radiators upstairs in the bedrooms. The
new heating system created a wonderfully warm home and
the owners are already enjoying lower heating bills.

Cool Solution For Cold Store Construction
McColgan Quality Foods one of the UK’s leading producers
of quality savoury and sweet pastry products has completed
a £7.3 million investment in a state-of-the-art packing and
despatch facility designed to help meet a targeted 50% increase in export sales over the next three years.
The facility benefits from the in-built strength and insulation
afforded by XPS (extruded polystyrene) from Sundolitt.
Achieving such success relies on the importance of reliable
and accurate temperature control helped by Sundolitt XPS the cool secret buried in the floor of the new 8,000sq ft
factory extension where it not only gives high thermal
performance, it is unaffected by freeze/thaw cycles and is also
highly resistant to water absorption.
Sundolitt XPS is manufactured in a wide range of thicknesses and sheet sizes. According to the type of use, it
achieves outstanding compression resistance from 200 –
700 kPa (EN826) and offers exceptionally low moisture
absorption through its closed-pore system, making it a
preferred solution in industrial floors such as cold stores
and chilled warehouses.

TLX Gold
Halifax’s Victoria Theatre was opened in 1901 and is
situated at the junction of two roads, with a curved
frontage and a section of curved roof above. Calderdale
Council has recently invested in a project to re-roof and
upgrade the insulation at the same time.
The contractors wanted to use a product which could not
only cope with the curved roof, but had a guarantee of
performance. In choosing TLX Gold they were confident
they had an insulating breather membrane which could do
exactly that. In addition, the BBA Certification means its
specification is based on multiple tests to the appropriate
standards.
