Stamisol Safe One chosen for new radiotherapy building

ITP has supplied Stamisol Safe One, the UK’s most advanced breather membrane, for the construction of a new radiotherapy building at Weston Park Hospital in Sheffield.

The facility houses Linac equipment used for the delivery of high-energy X-rays or electrons. Part of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals’ masterplan to redevelop the site, the building will help to serve growing demand for treatment. 

Stamisol Safe One was installed within the external wall to provide highly durable protection against rainwater with a breathable membrane which allows the release of internal water vapour, preventing the build-up of condensation in the insulation layer.  Winner of Product of the Year in the Façade 2022 Design and Engineering Awards, Stamisol Safe One’s advanced textile technology combines a W1 rating for water tightness, breathability to BS5250 standards, waterproofing of 7,000mm, UV resistance of 5,000 hours and a Euroclass A2 limited-combustible rating which represents best practice in façade fire safety.
