Mulberry Academy London Dock is a state-of-the-art, co-educational school located in East London. Leading UK contractor Kier Construction successfully delivered this exceptional educational facility. Designed to Passivhaus standards, the building is highly energy-efficient and eco-friendly. To provide safe and durable access to the roof of this innovative building, the contractor partnered with Gorter, the market leader in roof hatches.
Meeting Passivhaus Standards with Excellent Insulation
For a Passivhaus building, thermal efficiency and airtightness are absolutely crucial. That is why the best roof hatch starts with Gorter. The project features one RHT roof hatch combined with scissor stairs. The RHT roof hatch is equipped with a fully thermally broken curb and cover. This guarantees an exceptionally high insulation value and prevents condensation, perfectly complementing the strict energy requirements of the Mulberry Academy.
Safe and Space-Saving Roof Access
Schools require practical and safe solutions that do not interfere with the daily activities of students and staff. The installed roof hatch offers maintenance personnel a secure route to the roof for inspecting technical installations. Because the hatch is paired with a collapsible scissor stair, the floor space directly below remains completely clear when the stairs are stored. Furthermore, the Gorter combination is TÜV NORD certified, ensuring the highest level of safety.
