Knauf Insulation wraps up M&S at Cheshire Oaks

The number of BREEAM credits available from using Knauf Insulation’s Earthwool FactoryClad Roll played a part in its specification for Marks & Spencer’s flagship sustainable store at Cheshire Oaks, which achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

Earthwool FactoryClad Roll 40 was used within the 11,000m2 multi-wave form standing seam roof, which was supplied by Euroclad to achieve an outstanding visual, functional and environmentally friendly element of the store design. Earthwool FactoryClad Roll 40 has a thermal conductivity of 0.040W/mK and also has the highest possible Euroclass A1 reaction to fire rating when tested in accordance with BS EN 13501-1.

Knauf Insulation’s mineral wool products are based on rapidly renewable materials instead of petro-based chemicals, delivering superior environmental sustainability without affecting thermal, acoustic or fire performance.
