Phil Harold, Quality Assurance Manager at Tingdene Homes commented, “The use of numerous Protect products for this development helped us meet specification and achieve our target U-values of 0.18 W/m2K for external walls and 0.14W.m2K for the roof element. With the numerous benefits of offsite manufacture over traditional construction including build speed, quality precision and reliability, we wanted a supplier who understood these principles to ensure our delivery demands were met.Protect supplied products quickly which enabled our process to run without interruption and facilitated swift turnaround at the factory.”
