FIRE SAFETY & SECURITY
BRIGHTON APARTMENTS ACCESSING THE VERSATILE PERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF MAGPLY
The task of adding an extra floor to an apartment building in the heart of Brighton has seen the 12mm version of IPP Ltd .’ s Magply boards employed in a variety of applications , both internally and externally : Godfrey Investments was responsible for the original development , and the project has even benefitted from having the same site manager , Hassam Yesilada return to take charge of the extension work which is utilising a structural steel framing system ( SFS ) to create a lightweight third floor addition .
Hassam commented : “ The new third floor , roof extension has been designed in structural steelwork and SFS by Nathan Chilvers of Brighton based Moshin Architects , though the construction does also feature timber joists which had to be properly protected . Magply , also assisted with the design details for protecting the joists . It has been straightforward to cut and fit using an extract cutter and self-tapping screws . We ’ ve also used gun applied intumescent and Tyvek tape to complete the joints in most places . Internally the Magply MOS boards being covered in two layers of plasterboard while around the terraces the liquid rubber membrane is being dressed up the face of the parapet walls and covered by a capping .
