After years of planning and fundraising, we are finally starting work on a new roof! Our church building, rebuilt after a fire in the 1970s and extended just before the millenium, has always had a problematic roof of concrete tiles. Uninsulated and leaking it didn’t fulfill it’s purpose!
Our replacement roof is made with zinc covering a thick layer of insulation made of recycled denim - just like our vicar’s jeans! PAVATEXTIL is a soft thermo-acoustic insulation board based on cotton fibres from recycled jeans and velvet (85%) and polyester fibres (15%). The carbon footprint of these materials is significantly less that concrete tiles and should have a much lower maintenance cost as well as reducing our heating bills.
A huge thanks to the brilliant:
