About the project

Orchards Academy is embarking on an exciting construction project that includes the development of brand-new, state-of-the-art buildings. This ambitious £32.8 million project is designed to accommodate 750 students, offering modern classrooms, sports facilities, and various other amenities. A key aspect of this project is its commitment to sustainability and quality, with the use of Klasse G-board as the external sheathing board throughout the construction. This material is chosen for its high performance in insulation, durability, and environmental efficiency, aligning with the project's overall goals.

Practical Considerations

The contractors for Orchards Academy's new construction project were in need of a sheathing board that offered a combination of lightweight construction, ease of installation, and exceptional safety and durability. Klasse G board emerged as the ideal solution, meeting all these criteria. It is A1 rated, which guarantees the highest fire safety standards, providing peace of mind for the project's stakeholders. In line with the project's commitment to sustainability, Klasse G-board’s ability to be scored and snapped without the use of heavy-duty, petrol powered tools was a significant advantage. This feature not only enhances installation efficiency but also minimises the environmental impact. As a result, contractors are able to install G-board swiftly and sustainably across the site, ensuring that the new buildings are constructed to the highest standards of safety, quality, and environmental responsibility.
