Low carbon emissions
February 1st 2008

According to Collinson, its BestHall buildings provide excellent storage facilities and can be designed, constructed and operated at a fraction of the cost of traditional buildings, without harming the environment.

The buildings are low maintenance; whole-life costs are low, and carbon emissions are said to be negligible, complying with the Government's Energy Efficiency Best Practice programme.

A steel framework offers clear uninterrupted internal spans of between 12m and 100m, over which a flame retardant PVC coated polyester membrane is tensioned to give a smart, fully weatherproof finish.

Membranes are available in a range of standard colours; white is recommended for the roof, as natural daylight passing through the translucent material reduces energy requirements.
