ITP has supplied Stamisol Safe One, the UK’s most advanced breather membrane, for the construction of a new radiotherapy building at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield.
A semi-derelict former coach house on Wellesley Road has been demolished to make way for a facility housing Linac equipment used for the delivery of high-energy X-rays or electrons. Part of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals’ masterplan to redevelop the site, the completed project will help to serve growing demand for treatment.
Stamisol Safe One was installed within the external wall to provide highly durable protection against rainwater with a breathable membrane which allows the release of internal water vapour, preventing the build-up of condensation in the insulation layer. Winner of Product of the Year in the Façade 2022 Design and Engineering Awards, Stamisol Safe One’s advanced textile technology combines a W1 rating for water tightness, breathability to BS5250 standards, waterproofing of 7,000mm, UV resistance of 5,000 hours and a Euroclass A2 limited-combustible rating which represents best practice in façade fire safety.
ITP Account Manager, Caroline Collins, said: “Stamisol Safe One has become a preferred specification for high-rise projects and higher-risk buildings such as hospitals. Designers, contractors and façade specialists recognise its ability to maintain the long-term condition of the building envelope while providing fire safety performance which goes above and beyond regulatory requirements. Unlike some breather membrane products on the market, Stamisol Safe One’s Euroclass A2 rating is independently age-tested as a full system, including adhesives, to ensure that safety standards aren’t compromised during the installation. The product’s exceptional longevity ensures that all key functions remain effective in the long term.”
