New Build Solutions:
Structherm Fastbuild
® has been utilised on a number of school designs, incorporating classrooms, all purpose halls and the nursery and community areas into a single structure. A strong emphasis is placed on planning and co-ordination to ensure the project is completed on time and on budget.
Fastbuild offers major benefits to the construction of education buildings, including:
- Reducing the volume of transport and deliveries to site – a major factor when the school grounds are already occupied
- Adverse weather conditions do not affect the erection of Fastbuild, allowing programme predictability and ease of planning follow on trades
- Fastbuild dramatically reduces construction times by up to as much as 30-40% when compared to traditional construction – allowing buildings to be occupied quicker Waste on site is also reduced, improving health and safety by maintaining a clean and manageable site
- Acoustic and air tightness tests show the Fastbuild system exceeds current Building Regulations and also gives comprehensive fire protection

Refurbishment Solutions:
Educational buildings are responsible for sizeable amounts of energy and pollution. Many of these buildings were constructed in times when energy usage and pollution were not considered to be issues.
Structherm has solutions for the refurbishment of schools and colleges built using non-traditional methods such as Hills, SCOLA, Vic Hallam and CLASP systems.
Refurbishment programmes of education buildings can include:
- Removal or overcladding of degraded composite panels / cladding
- Reduction of glazed areas & window replacement
- Inspection & repair of building frame
- Installation of Structherm’s unique structural cladding panel or other external wall insulation systems as appropriate
- Extensive choice of renders & finishes
