When Havendeen Roofing, a leader in commercial roofing in Queensland, needed to build their new officewarehouse, they naturally turned to their longtime suppliers CSR Bradford for products and technical support.
Moving from a leased building to their own architect-designed premises, the experienced team at Havendeen knew what they needed and turned to Bradford Insulation and Bradford Ventilation to provide tailored solutions for the two units, each featuring a separate office and warehouse. One unit is used by Havendeen as their offices and warehouse for products and equipment, with the other unit leased out to Deluxe Foods, specialty food wholesalers.
Of particular concern was the acoustics between the two units and between the offices and the warehouses, so CSR Bradford helped Trevor J Allen Architects specify products to address this. Thermal performance in the hot Queensland summers was another key concern, and the combination of industry leading insulation and ventilation came to the rescue here.
The warehouse features Thermoplast white decorative foil sarking and 80mm building blanket, with Bradford Ventilation H900 Hurricane wind-powered ventilators to give optimal comfort on those hot summer days. The Hurricanes were powder-coated white to match the roof colour.

In the offices, the roof was fitted with Anticon light duty combined with Ashgrid Roof Spacer System to raise the metal roof sheet and create a defined space for the insulation. The external walls of the offices feature R2.5 Gold Wall segments for thermal performance, with R2.0 walls segments in the internal walls to lessen inter-office noise transfer. The floors are also lined with R2.0 floor segments and the ceilings are lined with 100mm building blanket for extra acoustic treatment.
Completed in 2015, the 1500m2 building has had a thorough testing and is performing above expectations.
