55 Queen Street, Salford

Fifty5ive Queen Street, Salford is a new 18 storey, 220-unit residential building in the centre of Salford for local developer Salboy.

It includes modern, high-quality 1-, 2- & 3-bedroom apartments and duplexes, amenities include private resident workspace, gymnasium, yoga studios, resident cinema room and a terrace garden.

Domis Construction is the preferred construction partner for Salboy on this scheme. In early 2022 they approached Encon Insulation in Chorley looking for a more readily available alternative to the stone wool product already specified.

URSA UK Ltd was chosen to fill the void and keep the scheme on track. We supplied over 4500m² of 100mm URSAPAN BLACK - a unique glass mineral wool rainscreen cladding insulation slab;

·      Euroclass A1 fire rating (non-combustible).

·      Thermal conductivity of 0.035 W/mK.

·      BBA Certified.

Kate Fox, Area Sales Manager for the Midlands stated, ‘Following the success of this initial partnership URSA are now the preferred supplier of rainscreen insulation and our products are currently being used on Anchorage Quay in Salford with others in the pipeline including Derwent Street in Salford’.
