John Ferneley High School, the new Ł12million college in the picturesque market town of Melton Mowbray, has used John Brash’s innovative JB Antislip Plus decking to create a safe, slip resistant surface for pupils. JB Antislip Plus was specified by the architectural firm White Design Sustainable Architecture due to its robustness and slip resistant qualities, which will improve health and safety levels as well as enhancing the attractiveness of the school’s landscaped areas.The JB Antislip Plus timber decking was installed on two teaching terraces and on a platform that borders the green roof. The 800-pupil development replaces the existing school and is an exemplar of sustainable design and construction. It features a Sedum roof on the first floor, as well as incorporating structurally insulated panel (SIP) technology on the walls.
