Panels has played a vital part in the construction of one of Britain’s
greenest supermarkets. |
 |
|
Topdek was used for the roof of the flagship Tesco eco-store in Wick in
the north of Scotland. It is a factory pre-engineered single fix
membrane roofdeck suitable for applications on flat, pitched or curved
roofs. |
|
Topdek’s PIR insulation core has zero ODP (ozone depleting potential)
and is LPCB FIREsafe certified which enables the building to be classed
as non-combustible. |
|
Topdek panels arrive on site as complete, factory prepared units.
Precise panel sizing and quantities can be specified and the unique
self-coring screw enables Topdek installation to be simple, greatly
reducing the potential for waste, as well as speeding up construction
time. |
| Not
only are they quick to install, insulated panels also provide extremely
thermally effective, airtight and durable building envelope solutions,
reducing energy consumption over the lifetime of the building. |
| The
50,000sq ft supermarket was designed to be the most
environmentally-friendly of its kind in the UK, and it is expected to
have a 50 percent smaller carbon footprint than similar sized
traditionally built stores. Not only is the building envelope designed
to have minimum impact on the environment but construction methods were
also as low-carbon as possible, while road freight was replaced with
shipping to reduce both emissions and road congestion. |
