ISO-CHEMIE tape for ‘revolutionary’ roof
A ‘revolutionary’ roof on a new £140m distillery and visitor
experience centre in Scotland, has been sealed using advanced foam
tape technology from ISO-CHEMIE. The Macallan Distillery, built
by Robertson Construction on the picturesque Easter Elchies estate
in Speyside, has seen ISO-BLOCO T-Max installed to accommodate
differential movement of up to 80mm between dozens of the roof’s
timber cassette sections. More than 5,000 metres of tape has been
supplied for the 12,000 sq. m double-curved roof, which features over
380,000 individual components and five mounds to accommodate
the distillery’s five production cells. One of the largest wildflower
roofs in Europe, the structure is also among the most complicated of
its type in the world, with each junction and beam featuring a specific
name. It has been tested in more than 160 different load conditions,
while the ‘Swiss Alpine Design code’ has been used to understand
the effects of wind, snow and ice on the design. T-Max can effectively
seal larger joints ranging in width from 14mm to 50mm, providing
excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
