ARKPRO is a lightweight, Fast-Track Construction System that is made from 90% Recycled Wood.
This means that not only does it help you to reduce construction build costs but it also enables you to build extremely energy efficient buildings sustainably.
The thermal block structure is laid dry, infilled with concrete to create a high performing monolithic walling structure and then clad in any finish to suit such as brick, stone, timber, or render.

Reduce Construction Costs
ARKPRO is upto four times quicker to build than traditional build and can be built in all weather, providing the opportunity to complete the external envelope quickly.
This provides multiple cost saving opportunities throughout the build. From less time on site, saving on skilled labour, scaffolding, accommodation, prelim costs and the resulting shorter build program.
Costs savings are shown against traditional brick and block build, timber, and steel frame. Even further costs savings are shown when compared against equivalent U Values and Acoustic/Performance/PSI Values.

Sustainable Construction
The thermal block work which forms the ARKPRO substrate is made from 90% recycled timber which is mixed with various cement elements at the factory to create a finish which feels close to concrete.
The thermal blocks achieve a BRE Green Guide A Rating and 4 code for Sustainable Homes points achieving 8dB over standard 43 dB for party walls.
ARKPRO provides U Values as low as 0.15 and Passivhaus PSI values due to no cold bridging.

The system has excellent air tightness and superb acoustic performance achieving party wall at 63dB with no additional insulation required.

Energy Efficiency
As concrete acts as a heat store, buildings built using the ARKPRO system have a High Thermal Mass resulting in reduced energy costs.
Additional insulation can also be added depending upon the project requirements and substrate and cladding helping towards Passiv House standard can be achieved.
Buildings built with ARKPRO are very energy efficient.

Flexible Buildability
ARKPRO is a lightweight solution meaning that the system is easy to handle and provides easy on site flexibility, enabling it to adapt to varying site and project circumstances.
Removing weight from a construction means that the system adds additional benefits to taller commercial projects, having been used on projects upto 26 storeys.
As well as being easy to handle on site it can also achieve further additional project costs savings as the light weight material can be so easily lifted on site that site cranes and other site plant is not required.

Sustainable Manufacturing Process
As well as being made from 90% recycled wood, the sustainable manufacturing process continues with a very low embodied manufacturing process.
This includes natural curing with no requirement for ovens or kilns and harvested rain water used throughout the manufacturing process.

Reduced Lifetime Running Costs
Together with the immediate sustainable and green criteria, the energy and thermal values of ARKPRO produce much, much lower lifetime running costs and a low maintenance structure that embraces the 'Cradle to Grave' philosophy for sustainability.
CLAD IN ANY BRICK
(or Stone, Timber, Render, Aluminium and so on...)
ARKPRO is ideal if you want your building or extension to match an adjoining or surrounding building as it can be supplied with any brick or stone type. A guaranteed brick match.
It is equally ideal if you want to achieve something more contemporary with a timber or rain screen cladding finish, or a building that simply looks like it has been built in the traditional brick and block method.

Every ARKPRO Project starts with the Blockwork substrate. This is then clad in any type of brick, stone, timber, concrete, or render as required.
This makes ARKPRO equally ideal if you want the look and feel of a traditional brick and block build with the benefits of fast track construction, as well as if you want to create a more contemporary building.
