Case Studies
A3 New Bailey, Manchester
When completed, A3 New Bailey in Manchester will be one of Europe’s greenest buildings. Not only has it been designed to achieve the toughest sustainability ratings, it will also feature Europe’s largest living wall. But as with any innovative project, it presented some major challenges when it came to the specification of the rainscreen façade system.
Co-op Live, Manchester
Approximately 23,000m² of Knauf Insulation’s new FactoryClad Roll 35 is being used to insulate the roof of the new Co-op Live – helping to create one of the world’s most energy-efficient indoor arenas.
Manchester is known for its rich cultural heritage, but now Co-op Live, the UK’s largest indoor arena, aims to put the city on the world stage for sustainability too. It is designed to be a 100% electrically powered venue and features 6,400m² solar panels as well as air source heat pumps – so a highly efficient building fabric was essential to ensure they operate effectively.
With Knauf Insulation’s St Helens manufacturing plant based just 30 miles down the road, the company was a perfect partner for sub-contractor Lindner Prater, which was responsible for constructing the arena’s 12,000m² twin roof. Lindner Prater contacted Knauf Insulation’s Specification Team to discuss the project’s insulation requirements.
