Insulation from Saint-Gobain Isover has been used in the first timber-frame school to be built for Powys council

The replacement community primary school on a greenfield site in Llanrhaeadr ym Mochant near Oswestry has been designed and built to exceed Building Regs levels of insulation and airtightness. It features Isover thermal batts in the external walls and vaulted roof as well as thermal batts in cold roof areas and acoustic insulation in the internal partition walls.

The project also uses the company’s Vario climate membrane, which was specifically developed for timber-frame construction.
