Ballycotton House is situated with a breathtaking view over the sea in south-east Cork and takes full advantage of the seascape with floor to ceiling windows. This project used four of our insulation products in its roof, walls and floors.
The building is split over two levels and with a combination of natural stone and copper cladding. Copper cladding and Kingspan Metdeck insulation system were supplied by Metal Processors.
Metdeck comes as part of a cladding system for warm roofs or warm wall build-ups. The insulation is a composite formulation of our Kooltherm insulation with 18 mm WBP (Weather & Boil Proof) plywood.
The insulation and plywood are factory bonded (plywood on the upper face) with overall typical composite thicknesses from 78 mm - 168 mm depending on U-value requirements.
The overall system comprises:
- Zinc/Copper finish with standing seam clips (no ventilation required)
- Breather membrane/weatherproofing layer
- Metdeck Composite Insulation, mechanically fixed
- Self Adhered Aluminium Faced Vapour Control Layer
- Plywood/OSB Substrate (by others).
The impressive roof terraces providing outdoor access to the stunning views were constructed using our OPTIM-R Roofing System and SIKA PVC, achieving a U-value of just 0.12 W/m2K. The roof of the project is a SIKA PVC membrane with a Thermataper insulation board.
We provided premium performance Kooltherm K3 floor insulation, supplemented with Thermafloor TF70.
This energy-efficient home used 120 mm of our Kooltherm K8 cavity insulation board to help the home feel warm and comfortable all year round.
