Wetherby Insulated Render used in Swansea location
A
Wetherby Building Systems product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team
Sep 3, 2010
The Aurora modern apartment development located on Swansea's waterfront has been constructed to withstand its exposed environment, thanks to Wetherby.
Being positioned in an exposed coastal area, it was important to consider the effects of wind suction, ultra violet radiation and salt corrosion as well as any potential fire risk to the facade system.
The Aurora apartment development in Swansea features a Wetherby Insulated Render System
The building structure was constructed in concrete with lightweight steel frame infill panels.
This was then faced with a layer of 10mm building boards onto which 80mm of WBS Expanded Polystyrene Insulation was mechanically fixed, with Mineral Wool fire breaks situated at every floor level.
Following the application of a basecoat and reinforcing mesh layer, the main elevations of the building were finished using a brilliant white and copper green Silicone 1.5mm K decorative render with accents of brown weatherboard style Trespa panels.
This achieved a final U-value of 0.26 W/mK.
