🚧 Fire Safety & Modernisation at UWE – Progress Update! 🔥🏗️
Great progress across the Brecon and Cotswold buildings at the University of the West of England, where our full façade upgrade is now well underway.
We’ve:
• Removed all non–fire-rated cladding, timber backgrounds and insulation
• Installed Obex Cortex breather membrane and EPDM to the concrete substrate
• Added 2,500+ linear metres of Tenmat fire barriers for enhanced compliance
• Integrated A1-rated retrofit ducting kits from Rytons
• Fitted 1,900m² of Rockwool Duo Slab insulation to boost energy performance
• Begun installing Rockpanel Woods (Oak effect) for a modern, fire-safe aesthetic
• Upgraded the exterior with new aluminium window and parapet systems
A huge thank you to our fantastic supply chain for their continued support—your expertise is driving this transformation forward. 💪
