Overview
A new building has risen from the derelict ruins of a small Dumfriesshire farm in a fantastic example of old technology meeting new. Hazelwood is exposed and elevated on the side of a hill in South West Scotland and boasts wonderful panoramic views. The property is owned by the Jencks family famous for their cutting-edge design and Architecture all over the World.
The challenge was to convert the ruins into a house and a studio and create a building that would integrate traditional methods with new cutting-edge waterproofing. The design team required that the materials used would enhance and accentuate the old building's stonework and create new contrasting lines.
The Project
To achieve the unique architectural vision, HERTALAN® Easy Cover membranes were chosen to create a striking contrast between the old and new sections of the building. With decades of experience in EPDM cladding and roofing, CARLISLE® offers expert technical advice. Our EPDM material is well-known for its exceptional durability and resistance to leaching, making it an ideal choice for cladding applications.
HERTALAN® pure EPDM sheets are sustainable, maintain flexibility over time, and offer a water-resistant, aesthetically pleasing (matt black) finish that perfectly complements architectural requirements.
OUR SYSTEM
Our HERTALAN® EPDM is ideally suited for durable roofing and cladding systems. This project shows how HERTALAN Easy Cover membranes are perfect both as an EPDM roofing system and EPDM cladding system.
HERTALAN ® EPDM roofing and facade systems are durable, lastingly flexible and combined with their striking aesthetical characteristics, make them an ideal product for any architectural requirement.
To convince the owner of the suitability of HERTALAN® EPDM, the Technical Services team created a mock roof/wall facade with a window and other details. This allowed the client to see how the EPDM would look and perform in this specific situation. Initially, there were concerns that the rubber might look too light, but these worries disappeared once the model was delivered.
TRADITIONAL MEETS NEW
The old buildings ruined stonework was reinforced with new stonework which matches the old, as closely as possible. The framework finished with 0SB sheets.
To ensure that all the joinery components meshed with the EPDM in a weatherproof manner, the roofing contractor worked closely with our Technical Team whilst laying the easy cover over the external 0SB sheeting.
HERTALAN Easy Cover rolls have a manageable size of 1.40 M by 20 M. This means that with only one seam up to 56 M2 is covered.
HERTALAN® EPDM is easy to install and fits on nearly every surface. As well as this the EPDM systems manufactured by HERTALAN® are ecologically compatible, do not leach and have a service life of more than 50 years (S.K.Z. Study 2001).
