Built in Newton Mears, IKO Polymeric delivered a full single ply roofing system for the world’s first Joint Faith Campus for Christian and Jewish pupils.
Having won £300,000 funding from Scottish Government towards this new modern development, East Renfrewshire Council contracted BDP Architects to meet the building’s challenging design requirements.
IKO Polymeric’s premium Armourplan P single ply roofing membrane in mid grey was specified to fulfil the 20-year guarantee requirement.
Thanks to its superior reinforcement and high polymer content throughout, Armourplan P offers extended guarantees whilst also making the installation easier with its highly flexible characteristics.
From day one, BDP Architects received a high level of technical input and expertise from IKO Polymeric to meet the challenging thermal and acoustic performance requirements. Taking responsibility for the full system build-up, IKO Polymeric delivered a robust single ply roofing solution from acoustics right through to the waterproofing layer.
By using steel work and building residual corners, a 1:60 fall was achieved in line with flat roofing best practice. A tapered insulation scheme, incorporating the appropriate levels of mineral wool and PIR, was utilised to achieve the required thermal and acoustic performance.
The £1.8m campus consists of a replacement for the existing Jewish school, Calderwood Lodge, and an additional primary school for the Catholic community with non-denominational nursery serving the area. For the first time, the campus is bringing together two purpose-built denominational primary schools and a nursery.
