SIPS Extension, Scarcroft Primary School, York
The architect was looking for a light weight method of construction which would provide a good substrate for fixing external Cedar Boarding and also providing a fast track method of construction. The Kingspan TEK Building System met all these criteria and also provides the low “U” values required to conform to the building regulations.
