Kooltherm K17 Insulated Plasterboard
Insulated plasterboard with a thin profile
No quarter was given in the effort to build a facility with ultimate style and functionality, on time and on budget.
The building boasts a 108 bed capacity and ample features including an on-site hairdressing area, laundry areas, dining hall, kitchens, bathrooms, staff facilities, and more. Residents accommodated at the facility enjoy the comforts of home as well as the added security of 24 hour medical assistance and on-site low care and dementia units.
At its completion, the $20 million dollar project showcased 550 square meters of Kingspan’s Kooltherm K17 Insulated Plasterboard.
Kingspan’s on-site team projected the benefits offered by using Kooltherm K17 Insulated Plasterboard in place of traditional clip and channel, or stud and track methods, and the contractor and architect both agreed that the ease and speed of the product's installation would provide labour savings to the project.
Once Kooltherm K17 Insulated Plasterboard was introduced to the project, the benefits were quickly realised. Installation was completed at three and a half times the speed of the originally specified method, and the lightweight nature of the boards made for an easy install.
Located in Moolap, east of Geelong, this stunning aged care facility has been designed by renowned urban architects Jackson Teese.
