A. Proctor Group was recently selected to supply its Roofshield breather membrane for an exclusive self build project.

Scotframe, in association with Hybrid Build Solutions, recently started work on a 'ground breaking' new house project at Oyne, near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.

The project will involve manufacturing for the very first time, the "CLTherm" concept, which is a combination of CLT slab and Scotframe Val-U-Therm panels. The house has a number of very distinct features and will showcase a large number of CLT and Val-U-Therm panels, to push the boundaries in efficient construction. This is the first project of its kind, not only in terms of "CLTherm" but also a real hybrid construction using all product types.

Air-tightness was also a key requirement on the project, and the A. Proctor Group supplied Roofshield, their unique air and vapour permeable pitched roof underlay. To complement the specification, for the walls Reflectashield TF 0.81 high performance breather membrane was used on the outside face, with Reflectatherm Plus vapour barrier on the inside which assisted in achieving a U-value for the walls of 0.12 W/m2K.

The roof panels also had Reflectatherm Plus vapour batter on the inside with Roofshield on the outside, contributing toward a final U-value for the roof of 0.11 W/m2K.
