The Quad Student Accommodation

Located on a high-rise island of development in the centre of Norwich, The Quad provides state-of-the-art student accommodation. The goal was to create a building that would be future-proof, structurally sound and fire safe for its occupants. Wanting to reach the highest standard of fire safety by using non-combustible insulation, ROCKWOOL worked with ACS to develop a fully tested solution that would allow ROCKWOOL RAINSCREEN DUO SLAB® to be used in conjunction with ACS ROCKWOOL Framefix.
