en.Wedoany.com Reported - Glidevale Protect has donated over 100 rolls, totaling more than 14,000 square meters of wall construction membrane products, to five colleges in Scotland for students' hands-on practice in building training courses.

The donation covers Borders College in Galashiels, Fife College, West Lothian College in Livingston, Glasgow Clyde College, and West College Scotland (with campuses in Paisley, Greenock, and Clydebank). Donated products include Protect TF200 Thermo and Protect VC Foil Ultra wall construction membranes. Glidevale noted that Scotland leads the UK in structural timber applications, with timber frame construction accounting for approximately 95% of new homes in the region. These membrane products are specifically selected for timber frame buildings, aiming to help students become familiar with materials used in actual construction during their training and apprenticeships.

John Mellor, Marketing Director at Glidevale Protect, stated that the company is committed to supporting building professionals throughout their careers, and collaborating with colleges directly helps the next generation acquire the skills needed to build future homes, schools, and workplaces. He further emphasized that as energy and thermal efficiency requirements for new buildings increase, it is crucial for colleges to ensure students are familiar with reflective wall membranes such as Protect TF200 Thermo and Protect VC Foil Ultra. These products are designed to enhance the energy efficiency of building envelopes and require precise installation to close the performance gap.

Steven Morrison, Faculty Director at West Lothian College, added that the use of these donated products has improved course quality, and the hands-on learning experience helps ensure students are industry-ready, while reinforcing the college's commitment to sustainable building practices.

Additionally, Glidevale Protect provided Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training on roofing to students at Edinburgh College and donated some Protect Zytec breathable roof underlayment for student use.
