The design, specification and construction of distribution centres and warehouses requires high insulation standards to reduce energy consumption, minimise heating cost whilst ensuring that materials specified are the most environmentally friendly available.

Fire precautions in large storage buildings should be appropriate to the use of a building. The elements that make up these buildings should satisfy the criteria for fire resistance in terms of integrity, stability and insulation. Fire safe composite panels consisting of outer and inner skins enclosing high specification Rockwool insulation materials will help to reduce insurance cost and will provide outstanding thermal performance.  Panels are highly suitable for cold store and warehouse constructions providing considerable structural rigidity, fast assembly times and are available in good hygienic finishes.

A comfortable working environment for everyone and reduced energy use with quality and reliability can be achieved with high performance insulation solutions and systems for the Commercial Sector; non-residential including Retail, Warehouse and Distribution Centres.

To comply with building regulations and as part of the design process, you may need to submit SBEM calculations to Building Control. If you require more information on SBEM we suggest you visit the BuildDesk website. BuildDesk produces the leading SBEM software tool, BuildDesk Carbon Checker, together with training and consultancy services. If you prefer to outsource your SBEM Calculations BuildDesk can provide a SBEM Calculation Service. BuildDesk is a member of the Rockwool Group
