Showcasing the K Club Hotel Extension, Straffan, Kildare
We’re proud to share the successful completion of a standout project at the iconic Hotel, a luxurious 5-star resort best known for hosting the Ryder Cup and celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2016, the same year this landmark extension was completed.
Working alongside .B.McNamaraConstruction we delivered the full design, manufacture, and installation of bespoke architectural mouldings and an external wall insulation (EWI) system, helping to bring the new Liffey Wing to life, adding 79 new bedrooms, a Thai restaurant, the Media Puzzle Bar, and a conference centre.
Our goal: ensure the extension blended seamlessly with the original structure, a mock 19th-century French château. Every moulding was precisely replicated and manufactured off-site, then installed with care on site. This attention to detail was key to delivering a visually cohesive and high-performance finish within a tight 24-week programme.
We partnered with and used their Ceretherm 60 EWI system, featuring:
Category 1 impact resistance
Silicone render matched exactly to the original façade
160mm HD insulation (wire-cut for unique detailing on lower ground)
150mm graphite-enhanced insulation on upper levels
A U-value of 0.21, meeting modern performance standards
Over 1,600 sqm of façade was completed in just 12 weeks, on time and within budget. Huge thanks to Kilsaran for their product expertise and support throughout, a brilliant collaboration showcasing what’s possible with modern methods of construction and heritage-driven design.
