STYROFOAM™ protects Scottish shoppers from the elements!
| Project |
The Elements retail centre in Livingston, Scotland, is a £ 130 million, 375,000sq ft Land Securities scheme built by Miller Construction.
The centre has two 90,000sq ft anchor stores, Marks & Spencer and Debenhams, as well as an internal winter garden and four shopping avenues with 30 shop units and five restaurants.
Roofing specialist BriggsAmasco was responsible for the £4 million roof installation contract. The roof area included a significant proportion of flat roofing, and as heat loss from flat roofs can be as much as 25% of the total, any improvements in preventing heat loss from such structures would have significant benefits for energy saving and cost control.

| The STYROFOAM Solution |
Dow Building Solutions supplied 14,000m2 of ROOFMATE™ SL-A to the project via BriggsAmasco to improve thermal efficiency and help the project achieve BREEAM accreditation.
ROOFMATE SL-A is an ideal solution for insulating flat, inverted roofs as the insulation boards are unaffected by the conditions encountered on flat roofs such as wide fluctuations in temperature and repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
The insulation is intended for use on heavyweight decks such as reinforced concrete with a ballast layer of gravel or concrete slabs. It can also be used in the ROOFMATE MinK system, which reduces the rain water cooling penalty, thereby minimising the insulation thickness required.
