Cherryfield Drive, Liverpool – IKO Ultra
As part of the drive to revitalise Kirkby Town Centre, the local authority, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, has been significantly investing in regeneration works. A redundant B&M shopping centre formed an important part of the uplift. At 36,000 sq ft, the empty precinct was the largest vacant unit in the town centre and was in need of significant repair and modernisation. Bringing the building up to date was crucial in encouraging businesses back to the area and delivering more choice of retail outlets to visitors.

What is the difference between tissue-faced and foil-faced thermal insulation boards?
The difference between tissue-faced and foil-faced thermal insulation boards is in which type of single ply membrane solution is most appropriate to be installed in contact with them, and the way in which those membranes are attached. The type of facing also affects the overall thermal performance of the insulation board. The difference between the […]

What compressive strength should thermal insulation achieve for flat roofs?
The compressive strength of the chosen thermal insulation should be enough to bear both dead and active loads imposed by the flat roof and its use. The product needs to offer sufficient compressive strength for the intended application – and also be capable of withstanding any demands placed on it during installation. Compressive strength declarations […]
