ICOPAL IS TRUSTED - NATURALLY - BY LSI
 Three types of building membrane from Icopal have
helped a new £22 million school in Wakefield achieve a ‘very good’
BREEAM rating.
Some 1,500m2 of Icopal’s extensive green roof system was installed
over two roofs, Greenpeace-approved Sure-Weld TPO waterproofing
membrane over other roof areas, and 2,500m2 of Monarfloor Tranquilt
acoustic insulation under the screed on the ground and first floors
of the central atrium during a phased two-year demolition and
re-build of Horbury School, a specialist language college for 1,000
pupils.
Designed by NPS North East property consultants, the 11,500m2 site
on the footprint of the old one incorporates a number of sustainable
features which were required by Wake-field Metropolitan District
Council to help the school to informally achieve its ‘very good’
BREEAM rating.
Built by Miller Construction in three phases, the steel-frame
building’s internal walls are metal stud and plasterboard, while the
heavyweight concrete floors and roofs help to re-duce overheating.
This provides good levels of acoustic separation and reduces fabric
heat losses to 10% lower than Building Regulations requirements.
Ventilation, heating and lighting are further optimised using
acoustic transfer grilles and controlled rooflights and windows.
Icopal’s Monarfloor Tranquilt composite system, which comprises a
layer of LRAC foam, sealed both sides with a polyethylene membrane,
is capable of exceeding the require-ments of the Part E & Building
Bulletin 93 regulations in terms of impact and airborne sound
insulation. It was installed under the floor screed in the canteen
and meeting areas of the central atrium to limit noise transmission.
In addition, Icopal’s extensive sedum roof system incorporating
rootbar underlay and cap-sheet, protection layer, drainage board,
filter fleece, sedum substrate, sedum mat and edge restraint strips
was installed by Watershed Roofing on the roofs of the science and
art and design technology classrooms.
This was specified by NPS North East to slow down and reduce storm
water run-off into the surface water drainage system on the roof of
Phase 1, this having the additional bene-fit of reducing the
school’s use of metered mains cold water and reducing operating
costs.
On the other roof areas, Watershed Roofing installed Sure-Weld TPO
which is a fully recy-clable advanced Thermoplastic Polyolefin
single-ply membrane that is free of PVC and specially formulated for
long-term exposure without the use of either polymeric or liquid
plasticisers.
Project architect Michael Thornton of NPS North East, who have used
Icopal products since the 1980s, said: “The brief was to design a
college based on the Building Schools for the Future exemplar
layouts.
“The BREEAM requirement drove the design down the road of
sustainable construction materials and the sedum roof was part of
this process by slowing storm water run-off into the drainage system
and introducing wildlife habitat for insects and birds.
“The SUDS Drainage includes rainwater attenuation, and a 30%
reduction in surface water run-off from the site. BREEAM has been
informally checked and we have attained the ‘very good’ standard as
required by the client.”
He added: “The Icopal insulation was a convenient material because
it met the perform-ance criteria and was cost-effective. I use
Icopal because the technical service and sup-port are first class
and the products have always performed.”
Steve Derham, of Watershed Roofing, added: “The project had a tight
programme which was hindered by bad weather but the Icopal products
performed very well and the end re-sult was excellent.”
