Aliva UK is delighted to be celebrating a double win at the 2024 Insulated Render and Cladding (INCA) awards, with two of its statement EWI and brick slip projects taking home trophies.
These accolades are being dedicated to the late Vincenzo Colonna, the founder of our Italian parent company Gruppo Ivas, who sadly passed away on 31st October.
Vincenzo was a leading global business figure and an inspirational leader of people. The UK team is honoured to have been part of Vincenzo’s vision and is proud to dedicate these awards to his memory.
Awards that proudly showcase the design potential and sustainability benefits of our EWI with brick slip systems.
Our Morriss House project in Nottingham for Purpose Built Student Accommodation specialist Unite Students scooped the Judges Choice award in the environmental – high rise category.
Morriss House features over 8,000sqm of our A1 rated, Kiwa accredited EWI with red and buff clay slips, including acute and obtuse angled slips and a traditional corbel detailing effect, alongside stone rainscreen cladding, used as an accent feature.
The EWI with brick slip system has contributed to the £57million, 705-bed new build accommodation complex’s sustainability credentials. The project had several detail interfaces, however, the U-Value achieved was 0.10W/m2k. This thermal value was inputted into the final thermal calculations for the entire building.
This stunning project was delivered in partnership with main contractor RG Group, architect Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson and installer Stoneguard.
Our Cortland Broad St project in Birmingham for Build to Rent specialist Cortland received the INCA award in the New Build: Residential – high rise category.
This 440-apartment development features 11,000sqm of our A1 rated, Kiwa accredited EWI with clay slips in smooth red with a repeating chamfer as the ‘basketweave’ reveal.
The slip colourway/texture was smooth red, meeting the Birmingham planning officer’s specification to complement this part of the city’s industrial heritage/existing traditional red brick aesthetic.
This system again complemented the project’s sustainability credentials, given the thermal efficiency benefits that the EWI brick slip system can yield. The project had several detail interfaces, however, the U-Value achieved was 0.15W/m2k, inputted into the final thermal calculations for the entire building.
This flagship project was delivered working in partnership with main contractor RG Group, architect Corstorphine & Wright and installer PIC Construction Group.
James Ormerod, Aliva UK’s Managing Director, said: “We are proud to dedicate this duo of prestigious awards to our parent company’s late founder Vincenzo Colonna, in tribute to his business vision and the industry legacy he leaves with us.
“These awards recognise the impact, in terms of both meeting architectural design intent, and the thermal efficiency that EWI with brick slip systems can generate for project credentials and the Net Zero Carbon agenda in turn.
“We’re delighted to bring these two awards home and thank all the partners involved in these developments which have helped to create a positive impact on the skylines of both Nottingham and Birmingham.”
