Manchester Met. University Science and Engineering Building
Enhancing Sustainability and Performance
As the architectural landscape evolves, so does the demand for innovative insulation solutions. In the heart of Manchester, the Science and Engineering Building at Manchester Metropolitan University stands as a testament to cutting-edge design and energy efficiency.
The Challenge: Efficient Roof Insulation
The project required an efficient, non-combustible and durable roofing solution that could withstand the rigors of Manchester’s climate. The design goal was clear: to create an inverted roof system which would enhance thermal performance, contribute to fire safety and meet their overall targets of the building.
The Solution: FOAMGLAS® Inverted Roof
FOAMGLAS® INVATHERM™ is a cellular glass insulation solution designed specifically for inverted roofs.
- Prioritising Fire Safety: FOAMGLAS® INVATHERM™ is Euroclass A1 rated. It doesn’t burn, release smoke, or contribute to fire spread.
- Suitable for Multiple Uses: Whether accommodating pedestrian traffic or creating lush green havens on terraces or balconies, the FOAMGLAS® inverted roof insulation shows exceptional compressive strength. Its closed cell structure and rigidity for long-lasting structural integrity, making it ideal for supporting heavy loads and maintaining structural integrity.
Inverted roofs with FOAMGLAS® insulation offer a winning system, with a Euroclass A1 building material. By choosing FOAMGLAS® solution, you create roofs that help protect your buildings and aspire for a more sustainable future.
