VMZinc - Facade Bolton House (Altitude), Poole, Dorset (UK)An eye-catching, contemporary façade has been achieved on Majestic House, part of the Altitude development in Poole, through use of VMZINC® interlocking panels in natural zinc, QUARTZ-ZINC® and ANTHRA-ZINC®. Terence O’Rourke Architects’ design of the £6m first phase entailed conversion of a disused, 5-storey office building into one encompassing 21 luxury apartments, offices and extensions to the ground floor and rooftop. Zinc was chosen together with other modern façade materials to provide a subtle distinction between residential and commercial spaces. The three additional floors afford apartments and penthouses with breathtaking views across Poole town and its harbour.

Langwith College University of York, Heslington, York (UK)BBA certificates for the VMZINC ‘Compact roof using cellular glass insulation’ and ‘Structural roof using PIR or mineral board insulation’ have been updated and extended. The compact roof utilises Foamglas® cellular glass insulation to prevent the passage of water vapour and is therefore ideal for buildings with a high vapour drive such as swimming pools. Both systems are installed without mechanical fixings penetrating the insulation, thus greatly reducing scope for thermal bridging. VMZINC remains the only zinc manufacturer to have such accreditation and can additionally offer a BRE Green Guide A+ rating for the structural roof system.
