Roofing contractor Hathaway has completed its latest
installation on Costco Wholesale warehouses of rooflights
from Brett Martin Daylight Systems. |
 |
|
Originally commissioned by the global discount retail club
to roof its new warehouses, Hathaway has recently completed
the replacement of existing PVC rooflights with
polycarbonate rooflights at Costco in Watford. |
| Some
164 of Brett Martin’s Mardome Trade rooflights, which are
classified non-fragile to ACR[M]001:2005 and prEN1873, were
installed by a Hathaway team of three in just four days on a
nine-metre-high, 13,000m² roof of composite panels that
Hathaway originally installed. |
|
Costco were looking to maintain
an even spread of natural light and for the building to
remain operational throughout so this involved Hathaway
working to particular Health and Safety requirements. |
|
Hathaway have handled most of
Costco’s roof work in the UK for 15 years and in that time
worked on 19 warehouses, all but two of which have been
new-build. |
|
The Mardome Trade rooflights
used at Watford were 2,140 x 1,316mm non-vented with an opal
tinted, polycarbonate curved dome to provide diffused light.
They were triple-skinned to give superior thermal
performance and comply with the latest Part L Building
Regulations. |
|
Hathaway’s purchasing manager
Phil Gamble said: “Brett Martin supplied the domed
rooflights on the Costco project as the product is very well
manufactured to meet current Building Regulations and
long-term non-fragility is important.” |
