The benefits of GTEC Weather Defence became very apparent when the start of this build process coincided with severe weather. The board’s water resistant qualities meant it could be left exposed to the elements without fear of damage. It can be cut without the need for electrical power tools, making it a faster, safer and a more cost efficient way of sheathing a building, whatever the weather conditions.
Of external sheathing board installed on the accommodation blocks.
Weather Defence delivered advanced sustainability benefits as it carries 40% less embodied carbon than cement particle board

We're delighted the innovations in our systems deliver high performance requirements, such as strength and acoustic levels whilst maximising footprint. Having a secure and quiet place to study is key for student success and we are proud to be part of a project that helps shape the University experience."
