The new executive jet terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai South incorporates 16000m2 of the Procheck Premier 500 vapour barrier supplied by the A. Proctor Group Ltd.

The new terminal which will cater exclusively to business jets in the region will feature dedicated customs, immigration, and police services, as well as separate drop-off and lounge areas. Faithful+Gould were the official consultant on the project, with Khansaheb carrying out the main contracting works. Tiger Profiles manufactured and installed the high performing cladding system which incorporates the Procheck Premier 500.

The tough, reinforced, Procheck 500 membrane provides a durable air and vapour tight layer increasing the energy efficiency of the building, ensuring the HVAC systems perform optimally. This reduces condensation risks throughout the high occupancy terminal.

Spacetherm has been supplied by the A. Proctor Group for Ski Dubai, one of the most demanding of all environments, where thermal performance is crucial. Ski Dubai is the first indoor ski resort in the United Arab Emirates. Located in the Mall of the Emirates, this unique structure provides 22,500m2 of indoor ski area.

Due to the challenging nature of the centre, it requires innovative products, which are capable of maintaining the temperature range between -1 to -20°C, therefore Arup consultants approved the use of Spacetherm. Designed to prevent thermal bridging through a component or element of a structure, Spacetherm’s properties can be beneficial in managing thermal bridging either in warm or cold climates.
