2 September 2015 B&M Retail Distribution Speke, Liverpool 2 The marine location of the project meant we used enhanced specification roof and wall cladding from Kingspan. Doing this has prolonged the design life of the building fabric to 30 years. F K Facades

3 September 2015 B&M Retail Distribution Speke, Liverpool 3 Design Aspirations This 500,000sq ft distribution facility at Liverpool International Business Park in Speke was designed by architects DLA Architecture. Discount retailer B&M Retail required a clean and modern space to supply its fast growing network of 400 high street and out-of-town stores across the UK.

4 September 2015 B&M Retail Distribution Speke, Liverpool 4 Technological Challenges Kingspan s technical team were given the challenge of creating a building envelope which would achieve design air permeability of 50mᶟ/m²/ After close collaboration with DLA Architecture, a solution to this technological issue was achieved. Technical Support The project was constructed in accordance with the strictest adherence to building component standards, aiding sustainability measures and creating a building which is ecological and efficient.

5 September 2015 B&M Retail Distribution Speke, Liverpool 5 Energy Efficiency A key specification for this project was to install panels which improved thermal performance beyond the basic building regulations requirement, so that the occupier would see future economies in heating design and energy consumption. The Curvewall, Micro-Rib and Trapezoidal Roof panels used all achieve a A+ BREEAM rating, aiding high levels of energy performance and creating a truly sustainable building. Energy

6 September 2015 B&M Retail Distribution Speke, Liverpool 6 Superior Architectural Solutions Since energy efficiency was an important requirement for this project, the fabrications used to provide the final touches to the building envelope also needed to be energy efficient. Energy Preformed corners provide smooth panel joints for a superior architectural finish, whilst maintaining insulation continuity with the wall panels.

7 September 2015 B&M Retail Distribution Speke, Liverpool 7 Speedy Construction The arrangement of panels in this building envelope enabled the project to be constructed in just 34 weeks. FK Facades, the installer contracted for the project, was able to quickly achieve a highly insulated building envelope by installing a range of products from Kingspan Insulated Panels. Speed Trapezoidal Wall panels in Kingspan XL Forté, Goosewing Grey were combined with Mini-Micro and Curvewall wall panel systems in Kingspan Spectrum Jet, Grey Rock and Silver, which gave the building a clean and modern aesthetic. This was complemented by the use of Topdek roof deck, in IKO Armourplan Mid Grey PVC, for the roof.

A high degree of colour fastness means the product will not discolour over a guaranteed period. Aesthetics On the Qube building, Kingspan Trazezoidal DLTR is integrated between the Trazpezoidal roof panels, allowing a gush of natural daylight to pour into the building.

At ille pellit, qui permulcet sensum voluptate. Sine ea igitur iucunde negat posse se vivere? Quarum ambarum rerum cum medicinam pollicetur, luxuriae licentiam pollicetur. Similiter sensus, cum accessit ad naturam, tuetur illam quidem, sed etiam se tuetur; Sed residamus, inquit, si placet. At quicum ioca seria, ut dicitur, quicum arcana.
