Sika Sarnafil Specified For Hull BSF School

When JM Architects was commissioned to create a new, single building to house two schools in Hull as part of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) scheme, it didn’t hesitate to specify Sika Sarnafil single ply roofing to complete the job.

Winifred Holtby secondary school and Tweendykes special needs school were recently united in one BREEAM Very Good-certified building designed and constructed with sustainability in mind.

And it’s thanks to its strong environmental performance that 7,860sq m of Sika Sarnafil membrane G410-15ELF in Lead Grey was chosen to top the modern, modular building. Led by main contractor Morgan Sindall, Rotherham-based specialist roofing and cladding contractor Roofdec installed the Sika Sarnafil roofing system across the sports hall, swimming pool and concrete deck areas. The team also completed all the vertical cladding to provide an envelope solution to protect the school from the elements.

Commenting on the specification of the system, Andy Morgan from JM Architects says: “Sika Sarnafil is a product we know and trust, and we find it is flexible enough in its application to get over most detailing problems.”

Better still, the Sika Sarnafil single ply used not only benefits from an independently assessed BBA-certified life expectancy, which states a life in ‘excess of’ 40 years in its opinion, but also an industry-leading 15-year product guarantee.
