Overview:As part of the development supporting the new 18-hole course at Castle Stuart Golf Links, just east of Inverness, three new buildings were constructed to support the expanded facilities. One of the key structures was designed to provide storage for golf caddies and maintenance equipment, alongside office accommodation and staff welfare facilities.Given the exposed location and demanding performance requirements, the building envelope needed to deliver excellent thermal performance, durability and long-term reliability.The Challenge:The original design specification required a building envelope capable of meeting strict U-value and fire performance requirements, while remaining commercially viable and straightforward to install on site.In addition to performance, the project team needed confidence in lead times, system compatibility and installation efficiency, ensuring the programme could be maintained without unnecessary risk or delay.The Solution:After discussions with Steadmans and SIG Building Solutions, a Gemello® warrantied twin skin system was proposed as a fully compliant alternative specification.Gemello® met all required thermal and fire performance criteria, while also offering a more economical solution and the reassurance of a well-supported, proven system. The specification provided confidence in delivery times and allowed the contractor to work with a system they had previous experience installing.The solution was quickly agreed by the client, enabling orders to be placed and works to commence without delay.The Result:Thanks to the short lead time and familiarity with the Gemello® warrantied system, works progressed efficiently. A total of 1,900m² of roof liner skin was completed just in time for Christmas, allowing the main contractor to use the building for much-needed storage during the winter period.The remainder of the project followed a similarly smooth trajectory and was completed well within programme. Despite the challenging flatland location-where buildings are exposed to high winds and heavy rainfall-the completed envelope has performed exceptionally well.The project was delivered with no snagging issues, highlighting the robustness and reliability of the Gemello® warrantied system in demanding conditions.Conclusion:The Gemello® warrantied twin skin system provided a robust, efficient and cost-effective building envelope, fully aligned with the performance and programme requirements of the Castle Stuart Golf Links development.Its proven durability, ease of installation and dependable performance make Gemello® a highly recommended solution for projects requiring a reliable and complete building envelope.

OverviewAt Cleppa Park in Newport, Welsh Water undertook a 2,500m² roof refurbishment to address severe deterioration of the existing composite roof. Water ingress, coating delamination, and ageing rooflights posed ongoing risks to performance and durability. With live site operations to consider, Welsh Water needed a robust solution that could be delivered with minimal disruption.The ChallengeThe project demanded complex coordination, including safe removal and reinstatement of PV panels, redesign of rooflight structures, and phased works to keep the site operational. Delivering enhanced thermal efficiency and long-term weatherproofing under such constraints required a system proven for speed and resilience.The SolutionWelsh Water selected Gemello® Revive, SIG Building Solutions’ prefabricated roof and wall over-clad system. Gemello® Revive’s over-clad design enabled a fast and reliable refurbishment with minimal interference on site. Panels were efficiently installed to provide a secure, thermally efficient envelope backed by a 25-year warranty, ensuring Welsh Water could continue operations with confidence.Key BenefitsRapid Installation: The prefabricated system reduced on-site time and simplified coordination.Weatherproofing: Gemello® delivered a watertight solution capable of withstanding challenging conditions.Thermal Efficiency: Improved insulation stabilised internal conditions and cut energy losses.Peace of Mind: The 25-year warranty assures long-term performance and resilience.ResultsThe refurbishment has futureproofed the Welsh Water facility, delivering a durable, efficient, and modernised building envelope. With Gemello® Revive, the project was completed safely and effectively in a live environment, providing lasting value and operational continuity.
