This is a building envelope project we had great pride in working on for Willmott Dixon located centrally on the University of Warwick campus renovating the Arts Centre.
For the walls we installed the Eurobond Laminates Ltd rainspan, Genius Prime feature gold rainscreen and projecting feature fins and columns, Everlite concept Polycarbonate rainscreen with flashings supplied by CA Group Format Architectural Ltd & Ash & Lacy.
The roofing element was highly complex, with 12 separate roof areas comprising of inverted , cold and warm room detailing incorporating hot melt, bitumen and single ply membranes.

Sage BEC takes responsibility for the greenhouse gases we cannot avoid emitting by using the Climatecare offset calculator to determine how many tonnes of CO2 we produce in our trading year. To achieve Carbon Neutral status we pay Climatecare to reduce the equivalent amount of CO2 in another part of the world by investing that money into emission reduction projects replacing fuel hungry inefficient technologies with efficient low-carbon technologies in developing countries. Take a look at the Climatecare website to see the advances being made; from the simple provision of efficient cooking stoves to full blown wind and hydro power schemes.
The Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT )is a leading information provider and trainer in the field of building envelopes and glazing.
