Project Size: 1,500 m2

Project Date: November 2023
Architect: McKenzie Higham Architecture
Main Contractor: Hawkins
Installer: G&S Roofing

Over two years, Onslow College upgraded its roofing over numerous classroom blocks by installing the RL Ultratherm Xtreme Recover system. This system was chosen for its ability to reuse the existing roofing profile, reducing disruptions inside the classrooms, speeding up installation, and lowering costs. 

The original roof had a very low pitch, but the FiberTite membrane performs reliably even when nominally flat, with no compromise to its durability. While positive drainage is recommended, the FiberTite Recover system resolved the low-pitch issue without requiring structural changes.

The Ultratherm Xtreme Recover system enhances thermal performance, providing effective insulation that creates a more energy-efficient and comfortable environment while addressing condensation issues. This upgrade aligns with modern sustainability standards and improves the learning spaces.

A key benefit of the system is its 30-year roof warranty, providing long-term reliability and peace of mind for all stakeholders.
