RIBA House of the Year
30th January 2018

TREMCO ILLBRUCK has contributed to a new-build project that has been named RIBA’s House of the Year 2017.

Caring Wood revives local building crafts and traditions including handmade peg clay tiles, locally quarried ragstone and coppiced chestnut cladding.

The designers incorporated a number of sealant products from tremco illbruck including SP525 low modulus sealant, able to offer sound reduction of up to 61dB, the BBA-approved TP600 impregnated joint-sealing tape and the UV-resistant and Euroclass B fire-rated EME010 breather membrane.

tremco illbruck Product Manager David Naylor said: “We knew when we were working on Caring Wood that it was something special. The project team were looking for a lifetime of best-in-class performance, and the fact they came to tremco illbruck for that is a huge vote of confidence.”

RIBA’s House of the Year is awarded to the best new house designed by an architect in the UK. Shortlisted projects and the eventual winner are all featured in a special episode of Channel 4’s Grand Designs.
