In a significant stride towards sustainable and energy-efficient housing, InverTay Homes, a renowned developer, is embarking on a cutting-edge project in Dundee, Scotland. This ambitious 114-home development is not only built using innovative offsite construction methods but also emphasizes high energy efficiency, thanks to the integration of superior construction and roofing membranes by Glidevale Protect. The project leverages Timber Engineering UK's Ultrakit system, a groundbreaking timber frame technology designed to deliver high-performing, low-carbon homes.
Glidevale Protect, a leading building products manufacturer, has played a pivotal role in this project by supplying its state-of-the-art Protect TF200 Thermo external membrane and the heavy-duty vapour impermeable underlay Protect A1. These advanced membranes have been critical in achieving a low U-value of 0.16 for the standard external wall, a figure that underscores the efficiency of the overall construction.
Caryn Gibson, Business Operations Manager from Timber Engineering UK, emphasized the importance of using high-quality wall membranes from Glidevale Protect. "These membranes allowed us to achieve the U-value targets set for this project and ensure that the homes we’re building are not only energy efficient but also protected from the risk of interstitial condensation," Gibson noted.
The Ultrakit system is designed for rapid assembly and exceptional performance, enabling the swift construction of high-quality, energy-efficient homes while reducing carbon emissions and delivering cost savings. By integrating Glidevale Protect's membranes, InverTay Homes can maximize the thermal efficiency of these houses, creating homes fit for the future.
John Mellor, Head of Marketing at Glidevale Protect, pointed out that their product range is specifically developed to provide innovative, high-performance solutions for both traditional and offsite construction projects, aligning perfectly with Timber Engineering UK's goals.
Glidevale Protect's membranes are instrumental in reducing the U-value, which measures how easily heat flows through a material. A lower U-value signifies better insulation, leading to energy-efficient homes that require less heating during colder months and less cooling in warmer months.
The Protect A1 vapour impermeable underlay acts as a second line of defense against moisture, ensuring the structural integrity of the roof structures and preventing issues like interstitial condensation. This is particularly important for maintaining the health and longevity of the building.
By supporting the development of low-carbon homes, Glidevale Protect's membranes contribute significantly to reducing the environmental footprint of the construction industry. This aligns with global efforts to mitigate climate change by embracing sustainable practices in housing development.
The success of this project not only enhances Dundee's housing landscape but also sets a precedent for sustainable development across Scotland. With increasing pressure on builders to meet stringent energy standards and embrace sustainable construction practices, projects like InverTay Homes serve as a model for future developments. By combining innovative construction techniques with advanced building materials, such initiatives pave the way for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future for the housing sector.
In conclusion, Glidevale Protect's involvement in the InverTay Homes project showcases the importance of integrating high-performance membranes in achieving energy-efficient homes. This collaboration highlights a promising future for sustainable construction, where technology and innovation come together to create homes that are not only more environmentally friendly but also equipped to meet the evolving needs of modern living.
As the construction industry moves forward, expect more emphasis on sustainable materials and advanced building solutions like those provided by Glidevale Protect. With the integration of these innovative technologies, the potential for further advancements in energy efficiency and sustainable housing is vast.
