Designed by AXIS Architecture, constructed by McAleer & Rushe, and developed by Future Generation, The Vantage in Nottingham stands as a vibrant and exciting housing complex catered to local university students. Situated in the heart of bustling Nottingham City Centre, these meticulously designed studios and apartments offer top-tier amenities, including an on-site gym, fine dining room, cinema, and a sky lounge with panoramic views of the city.
Keyfix supplied crucial components for this project, including 1,500 meters of its Non-Combustible Cavity Tray (NCCT), 200 meters of its Non-Combustible Cavity Tray Lintels (NCCTL), 1025 preformed Corner Units and 5,854 Weep Vents.
The client specified Keyfix to ensure the building’s compliance with updated building regulations, both now and in the future. With the introduction of the 2019 Building Regulations Document B (Fire Safety), it became clear that “materials achieving limited combustibility cannot be deemed to meet the requirements using an alternative classification method.” To meet these new regulations, McAleer & Rushe sought a third-party rated solution which was totally non-combustible, customised to suit the building.
Furthermore, the client aimed to futureproof the building to ensure compliance in the event of any changes to its intended use. Keyfix’s NCCT surpasses the minimum regulations outlined in the Approved Document B, boasting an impressive A1 Fire Rating and a lifespan exceeding 125 years. This exceptional solution guarantees that the building will remain compliant even if future regulations become more stringent. Crafted with the utmost precision using stainless steel, the Keyfix NCCT sets the industry standard, providing peace of mind for the client’s long-term needs.
