Tactray 90 Structural
ceiling tray system to support failed
Clasps & SEAC asbestos decks and
ceiling systems in schools
Key benefits:
- Provides structural
support to existing roof system
in the event of structural failure.
- Provides structural
support in the event of new roof
re-fit
- Encapsulates and
contains asbestos particles within
existing
roof system.
- New low maintenance
ceiling finish in bright white finish
offering clean lines with reflective
index of 79%.
- Tactray 90 perforated
offering enhanced acoustic solutions.
- Choice of insulations
to provide range of enhanced thermal
u-value requirements.
- Best economic solution.
- Keeping the classroom
warm in winter and cool in summer
means that the Tactray 90 ceiling
system has the potential to create
“More Education Perfect Days”
for the occupants of the building.
The Issue
Across the UK there are quite simply
hundreds of schools that
have been originally designed with
an asbestos deck sandwiched between
the ceiling and the roof covering.
Some 50 years later the roof decks
and ceilings are starting to show
signs of distortion, ponding and possible
risk of collapse.
The Challenge
To provide an acoustic ceiling and
structural roof support system to
extend the life of Post War System
Built Schools and similar properties
Tileform UK were tasked with designing
and supplying a solution to a prolific
problem on several schools in the
Hertfordshire area A test school site
was available to Tileform UK in which
we could trial the system and redesign
as necessary.
The model
The schools in question were all of
a similar design and their construction
based on typical Hills /SEAC / Clasp
systems which included an asbestos
deck system.
Typically the main roof
supports, usually lattice, beams followed
virtually the same design layout and
were modular in their
spacings at 8’3” (2.51m)
centres. Tactray 90 (perforated) spans
between the existing lattice beams.
The trays are fixed in
position with special purpose made
angles and cleats, which
are securely fixed to the existing
lattice beams.
The Result
Tactray 90 can offer a retro fit system
that can combine and offer structural
support to the existing roof plus
encapsulate the asbestos and at the
same time provide a new acoustic ceiling.
A budget saving method of extending
the schools life.
