Ward Insulated Panels blend in at Chesterfield Hospital A combination of Ward insulated panels has been used to complement the rural environment at a new Medical Education Centre at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

The building, which is situated adjacent to a golf course, is located on an exposed green field site and required a product durable yet sympathetic to its surroundings.

Ward green DW1000D Wall Panels in Celestia Pegasus finish were specified by project architects Wm Saunders Partnership as a cost affective product to blend in with the rural landscape.

In addition Ward IP1000 insulated roof panels were specified for the two mono-pitched roofs at the Hospital and the unique Ward Topdek pre-insulated membrane roof panel was used for the flat roof area to the building.

Adam Hirst, Architect at Wm Saunders Partnership, says: "Ward insulated panels were ideal for this project.

The education centre is visible for several kilometres and the green panel, insulated render and terracotta tiles provide a rich palate of natural colours, aesthetically suited to the surrounding landscape." Approved Ward contractors Hadfield Roofing and Cladding performed the installation for the project.

Bob Shaw, Estimator at Hadfield Roofing and Cladding adds: "By choosing Ward insulated panels, installation only took half the time to complete compared to traditional built-up roofing systems, saving considerable labour costs.' All Ward roof and wall panel systems comply with the latest Part L2 and J insulation regulations and incorporate an LPCB approved Firesafe insulation core.

The main contractor for Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital NHS Trust was Henry Boot Construction (UK) .
