High Scoring Roofing Solutions from Alumasc
Published: 29 January, 2010
Hetton Lyons Primary School is part of a major commitment from Sunderland City Council, to reduce carbon emissions across all of its operations by the year 2012 and they were keen to work with Alumasc.
A ZinCo green roof from Alumasc was specified to complement the sustainable design of the building which also included a wind turbine, a wood burning boiler and rainwater recycling, earning the scheme a BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’. Installed by Alumasc’s Approved Contractor Roofclad Systems of Durham, the extensive green roof is designed to evolve and flourish, helping to combat a number of climate change issues facing the next generation.
The green roof was applied over Derbigum high performance waterproofing membrane, also from Alumasc, for exceptional long-term performance and durability, warranted for 25 years. Derbigum’s BBA Accreditation and its environmental credentials were a major consideration in its specification.
Derbigum is manufactured under the ISO 14001:2004 and EMAS
> Environmental Management Standards and is fire rated F.AA to BS476 Pt3 (EN1187 Pt4), the highest available rating, which allows unrestricted use under Building Regulations.
