The building is of steel frame construction clad with Kingspan insurer-approved PIR insulated panels, and provides single-storey showroom and workshop facilities and an internal mezzanine floor for additional vehicles and back-of-house accommodation.
It is likely that the cladding will have been subjected to peak incident radiative heat flux of at least 31.8kW/m2 for at least 10 minutes. To put this into context, the maximum regulatory heat flux limit allowed on a building to prevent fire spread without impingement is 15W/m2.
