Our Service in Action
See our service in action with a complete recladding of key locations at the Riverlights, Derby.
For this project, Oakleigh Contracts was approached for the recladding of Genting Casino, Premier Inn and Holiday Inn, part of the Riverlights location in Derby.
This was a large-scale project which involved replacing existing insulation and composite aluminium panels with non-combustible alternatives. Our team worked with a designer who, in turn, worked with our structural engineer to ensure that the new system was compatible with the existing frame from a structural point of view.
One problem was trying to ensure that the new U value was not compromised in any way, which can be a problem when replacing PIR with a rockwool type material.
We utilised Safeshield XT Reflect A2-s1, d0 construction membrane, known for its energy efficient thermal properties. This membrane enabled us to incorporate another layer of protection against fire inside the wall cavities as well to increase thermal efficiency for reduced energy loss and costs.
A new metal frame was erected off the existing Metsec framework.
The new powder coated aluminium cassette rain screen cladding was then fixed, with new flashings to the cappings and smoking shelter as all the flashings were composite aluminium - the same as used at Grenfel tower.
The access was provided by mobile elevated working platforms.
Where possible all materials were re cycled.
The works were to a very busy pedestrian area either side of the bus garage and next door to the Crown court.
The works were carried and completed within the agreed programme and within budget.r
