The prestigious new home for the School of Law and a new
social hub is a key element in the major investment of £350m in
world-class facilities for staff and students planned over the next
decade at Queen’s University, Belfast. This facility provides several
innovative teaching spaces central to which will be the Moot Court Room
interactive teaching space.
Todd Architects specified a warm roof system of Torchtite Vapour
Barrier, Alumasc Tapered Insulation and Mastergold Underlay topped with a
Mastergold Mineral Cap Sheet – a full Euroroof warm roof system.
This roofing system utilised a tapered insulation scheme to help
achieve sufficient falls to help provide a longer roof life for the
building’s roof areas. With the existing deck being completely flat
sufficient falls needed to be achieved to avoid any standing/ponding
water which can form algae and moss over the years and shorten the
membrane’s performance and life span.
The tapered insulation provided sufficient falls for the roof and met
the required U-Values to help towards the building’s overall thermal
performance.
All roofing work(s) were expertly carried out by Alumasc Registered Contractors Crown Roofing and within schedule.
