The specification and installation of A.Proctor Group’s Wraptite® external air barrier is helping three separate secondary school projects in Scotland to achieve the Passivhaus standard. As a result of the high-quality new school buildings, more than 4500 pupils will benefit from learning in thermally comfortable classrooms with excellent indoor air quality.

All three schools are being delivered by main contractor Robertson Construction Tayside. With its purpose of assuring a sustainable future, Robertson has developed a specialism in Passivhaus construction, which supports its customers, local authorities and Government to address low carbon goals.

An experienced property developer has seen immediate benefits from using the A. Proctor Group’s external air barrier solution, Wraptite®. So good were the results of the airtightness testing at the property on Scalby Road in Scarborough that the testing company thought their equipment was broken and needed recalibrating!

Chris Boyes has been developing timber framed properties on small sites since he was 21. His usual approach has been to create the airtightness line on the internal face of the building structure. This latest development saw him experiment with moving the airtightness line to the external face of the structure, applying Wraptite membrane to the walls and roof. “I’m always looking for ways to improve and simplify as much as we can,” said Chris. “Using Wraptite was a no-brainer.”

Two primary schools, an Early Learning and Childcare Centre, and other community facilities will all be housed in the new £34m Faifley Community Campus in Clydebank. Due to be completed in 2026, the project is being delivered in compliance with the Net Zero Public Sector Buildings Standard (NZPSBS), as part of funding through the Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP2).

As such, the new campus will be certified to the Passivhaus standard, which requires thermally efficient, airtight building fabric. The campus’ external wall build-up features A. Proctor Group’s Wraptite® UV external airtightness membrane

A significant challenge when working on the roof of any existing, occupied building is protecting the people inside the building without the full roof system in place. That challenge is multiplied when the building in question is large and work has to be carried out in sections over a longer period of time.

At Hatchemeadow apartments in Northumberland, a key performance characteristic of Proctor Air that helped to address these challenges was its water holdout. That, combined with its vapour and air permeability, offered long-term peace of mind for the building owners, as well as apartment residents.
