Windermere Jetty
Award-winning museum has taken form with high quality rainscreen insulation
Case Study6 min read
Co-funded by the Welsh Assembly and Bridgend County Borough Council, the £34 million school combines state-of-the-art teaching and community facilities.
Thanks to a forward thinking approach, architects Scott Brownrigg were given greater freedom to prioritise whole life cost savings over construction expenditure.
LOCATIONBridgend, UK

Limiting heat loss was a key requirement in the design and to insulate the rainscreen sections of the building façade, 817 m² of Kooltherm K15 Rainscreen Board was specified.
To insulate the roof space of the school, a further 368 m² of Thermaroof TR26 was installed. The high performance product is fully compatible with most mechanically fixed waterproofing systems and helped achieve a final roof U-value of 0.19 W/m²K.
Construction on the 30-acre campus was overseen by Leadbitter, a Bouygues UK company, and in addition to the 1,570-capacity school the site also provides a café, multi-agency hub and childcare units for the local community.
"The Kingspan Insulation products allowed us to achieve the required level of thermal performance, and also contributed towards the award of the Embodied Impact BREEAM credit".
