When Ellis Williams Architects (EWA) were appointed to undertake the design of Barrow Hall Primary School, they consulted with the school and local authorities to develop a design that avoided the pitfalls of existing building stock.
With consideration to occupant comfort and the energy efficiencies, EWA specified VIVIX® by Formica Group for the rainscreen cladding.
The application of VIVIX panels to the exterior helped meet the brief for the build to incorporate minimal mechanical ventilation; while also establishing a distinctive aesthetic character for the school buildings.
VIVIX panels offer multiple moisture shedding pathways so that buildings stay dry and well-insulated. When used as part of a rainscreen ventilated system, VIVIX panels can contribute to a building’s thermal efficiency.
