A new 9,515 m² three-storey school block with sports facilities was constructed to accommodate up to 1,050 pupils and 200 sixth formers. By replacing the old structure with state-of-the-art, climate controlled classrooms and improved facilities, the school could aim to raise their OFSTED rating to ‘Outstanding’.

"It was essential that building materials were tried and tested in addition to having excellent thermal performance and the Kingspan Insulation products met these requirements. The Kingspan Insulation products helped us to minimise the building’s energy consumption."

Gareth Callen - Partner, Ryder Architecture

1,720 m² of our Kooltherm K103 Floorboard was specified for the ground floor insulation of the new school. The Kingspan Kooltherm K100 range of products are the most thermally efficient insulation products commonly used. This allows room heights to be maximised without compromising the thermal performance.

Thermapitch TP10, was also installed as part of the roof construction. The higher performance pitched roof insulation has a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK, helping to thickness and weight of the roof construction.

The insulation boards were delivered to site ready to install and were also easy to handle compared to some other commonly used insulants, which meant little disruption to the parts of the school still operating during construction. The boards can be cut to size with a sharp knife or fine-toothed saw, speeding up the install. This allowed the contractors to mitigate some of the concerns of residents who were worried about access constraints and traffic build-ups in an already busy area.
