THE use of fire-resistant roofing boards from Magply have been utilised on an exemplar Passivhaus school build in Rosyth, Fife.
Magply’s 12mm-thick boards, which meet Euroclass EN13501 (A1 Non-Combustible) standards, were specified for a warm roof build-up by AHR architects for Caledonia High School. The magnesium oxysulfate boards were installed over metal roof deck sheets by Q9 Cladding Solutions for main contractor BAM to help provide a lightweight, flat surface for the waterproofing.
AHR senior architect Keith Peterson said, “The Magply board was a cost-effective solution that would ensure the airtight VCL layer was well supported to help achieve the Passivhaus standard.”
Caledonia High is being built as a replacement for Inverkeithing High and will accommodate 1,735 pupils over three floors.
The details for the school were also used by AHR at Templehall Community Hub in Kirkcaldy, with both projects due to open this summer.
The Magply boards were supplied to Caledonia High by East Kilbride-based CCF.
