Heron Tower, London

OVERVIEW

FOAMGLAS® READY BOARD T4+

Design Architects: Kohn, Pedersen, Fox Associates – KPF London, Marcus Blanes

Main contractor: Skansa

Construction: 2011

Application: Compact Roof - FOAMGLAS® Ready Board T4+

Finish: Umicore VM Zinc


The roof level 41 of the Heron Tower (with a height of 120m) is designed to the most exacting standards for sustainability and efficiency.


The building received the BREEAM rating of 'Excellent', with FOAMGLAS® thermal insulation being part of a green and energy efficient building.

The roof is composed with FOAMGLAS® READY BOARD insulation and Umicore VM Zinc roofing as a durable finish.


FOAMGLAS® insulation has the ability to withstand high structural loads and has developed a special fixing system for metal roofing.

Square metal fixing plates are inserted into the upper surface of the insulation and covered with a waterproofing and a separation sheet.

This is the perfect system to fully support metal standing seam roofing which is screwed to the metal plates without thermal bridging between the metal roof sheet and the building structure.
