The Wraptite membrane at Dumfries High School was the responsibility of specialist contractors Cairnhill Structures, as part of designing, supplying and installing the complete structural framing system and other associated works.
Working with a product like Wraptite for the first time, especially when required to deliver a low energy design target, can be daunting – as our case study about Liberton High describes.
For Cairnhill Structures, they had previously used Wraptite on another school project. “We installed it on the Monifieth Learning Campus project,” said Carlos Simoes, Contracts Manager – Framing at Cairnhill Structures. “As part of that project, we arranged an installation and training workshop at our factory in Coatbridge with Linda Kay and Lewis Stanley.”
Linda and Lewis are Regional Sales Manager and Business Development Manager (High Rise & Facades) at the A. Proctor Group respectively.
Training delivered for one project carries over to all subsequent projects, which is a significant benefit when looking to deliver consistent quality and achieve low energy performance that will last for the life of these important education buildings.
Experience is particularly vital when it comes to working with the variable nature of the Scottish climate. “Installation during the Scottish winter can be particularly difficult,” noted Carlos. “However, as Wraptite is self-adhesive, installation is a relatively simple and fast process. It also provided excellent weather protection for following trades.”
While the A. Proctor Group had delivered training on a previous project, support did not end there, as Carlos described: “Linda visited site on several occasions throughout the installation process to carry out site inspections.”
