NIA Award

Staff at Structherm Ltd are celebrating after winning the Best Hard To Treat Project (Manufacturer) award at this years National Insulation Awards hosted by the National Insulation Association.

The company has been working in partnership with Liverpool Mutual Homes on the Daneville Estate project where around 600 non-traditional Boswell type properties were in need of urgent external refurbishment.

The properties were “Designated Defective” and therefore deemed to be hard to treat as they suffered from structural defects such as corrosion of reinforcement in the precast concrete and lack of tying between flank and internal walls. The poor level of thermal performance was another obstacle to overcome.

The unique Structural Insulated Cladding system was the solution chosen as no other cladding system was able to provide the structural benefits that the system offered to overcome all of the structural and thermal problems encountered with the properties.

Structherm’s managing director David Harrison said “It’s fantastic to be recognised once again for the hard work that the whole company has put into this project, we’ve had great successes this year, despite the recession, and are confident these will continue into the New Year.”
