Insulation and Backfilling to Ground Floor

An adhesive is applied to the external blockwork, FOAMGLAS insulation panels are then fixed to this surface.   Where the wall is to be backfilled, (to reduce temperature fluctuations in the store area) no further treatment will be necessary.  Where the surfaces are exposed they will be rendered.

A waterproof membrane is applied to the FOAMGLAS panels.

The space between the walls and the cut slope is back filled.

The interior of the lower floor, the conservation store.
