No compromise on open plan design with discreet fire suppression system Waterlooville in South Hampshire boasts a variety of substantial detached houses built in the 1970s. Updating one such fivebedroom property with a contemporary layout and look presented the owner and his architect with a design dilemma.
T
he £250,000 refurbishment was designed to create more space and light within the original twostorey structure. This involved converting the generous loft space to form a home office with a separate dressing room and en suite bathroom, and removing a wall on the ground floor to open up the area containing the kitchen, dining room and hall entrance. Other elements of the project included enlarged oblong windows to the front at first-floor level, and bi-folding glass doors to the rear terrace and garden. Glass balustrades, a ‘floating’ landing, and white-

This award-winning water-mist system runs off a standard mains supply, obviating the need for storage tanks and long pipe runs. painted decor would enhance the modern, minimalist look of the interior. However, as the loft conversion effectively added a third floor, Building Regulations on fire safety threatened to compromise this vision. Protecting residents’ escape routes would require fire doors at each level or encasing the entire stairs, with a wall and door reinstated in the hallway on the ground floor. This would have defeated the purpose of the makeover, says the owner, Paul Smith. “Closing the whole area up would have been ridiculous. It would have completely ruined the look we wanted to achieve. And in the loft, though we could just about have fitted a cut-down fire door, it would have looked terrible.”
An alternative fire protection solution, fitting a sprinkler system, was impracticable, Mr Smith adds. “We would need a massive tank in the loft, but I no longer had a loft.” This led the architect and client to consider other ways to provide active fire suppression – and to Quenchfire. A specialist in domestic fire protection, Quenchfire is the accredited installer of Automist. This award-winning water-mist system runs off a standard mains supply, obviating the need for storage tanks and long pipe runs. Automist suppresses fires by emitting a water mist through a small sprayhead mounted on a discreet wall plate that is fed by a compact pump. Its operation is entirely automatic, controlled by a reliable heat sensor, which is not susceptible to false alarms triggered by cooking.
“Apart from the small nozzles on the wall, you wouldn’t know the Automist system was there,” Mr Smith observes. “From the top of the house looking down, it’s very open, spacious and minimal with clear, straight lines. We’re very pleased.” Paul Smith, house owner. Each pump feeds one or two emitters, protecting an area up to 32m2. Two emitters were installed in the dining area and hallway by the stairs of the Waterlooville property. A third spray emitter protects the converted loft, where both pumps are concealed in a cupboard under the eaves. Automist can be retrofitted where necessary. As it was specified early in this project, the pumps and associated pipework and electrics were installed in a first fix. The spray nozzles and wall plates – specified in a chrome finish to complement light switches and plug sockets – were added after decorating, when the system was commissioned. The Automist installation satisfied both building control and the expectations of the client. As well as providing enhanced fire protection in this refurbished home, the water-mist system has enabled Mr Smith and his project team to achieve the modern design and open layout they envisaged. “Apart from the small nozzles on the wall, you wouldn’t know the Automist system was there,” Mr Smith observes. “From the top of the house looking down, it’s very open, spacious and minimal with clear, straight lines. We’re very pleased.”

CLOS-O-MAT CHANGING PLACES MADE EASY New Building Regulations are causing confusion for many specifiers- confusion that can be clarified with new guidance from Clos-o-Mat. nder Building Regulations Approved Document M 2013 Access To & Use of Buildings, toilet accommodation needs to be suitable not only for disabled people, but for all people who use the building. Further, it is ‘desirable’ to include an enlarged unisex toilet incorporating an adult sized changing bench – a hygiene room or Changing Places toilet.
U
To help ensure compliance, Clos-o-Mat- the UK’s leading supplier of disabled toileting solutions- has produced an informative white paper: ‘Considerations & Specification of Changing Places Accessible Toilets’. “Judging from the emails and telephone calls we are receiving, a huge number of people aren’t fully aware of what these new requirements/desires are, and how they
should be implemented,” elaborates Closo-Mat Marketing Manager Robin Tuffley. “They are turning to us for help, knowing we have been involved in the large proportion of hygiene rooms/Changing Places toilets already successfully installed. We have pooled that knowledge into the white paper, to give them a valuable, easy-to-access resource, to make their job easier.”

Ceilings, Walls & Partitions
Armstrong Ceilings fly out of Farnborough The 2014 Farnborough International Airshow made use of both of Armstrong’s recycling schemes.
A regular user of Armstrong’s End-of-Life recycling scheme for the ceilings of the show’s temporary corporate hospitality and business chalets, 2014 saw the first time it used both of Armstrong’s pioneering schemes.
Some 3,000m2 of mineral tiles were recycled for SDD|GES by Hampshire-based ceilings and partitioning contractor RSD Systems Ltd. The Portsmouth branch of specialist supplier SIG Interiors helped load the pallets onto the trucks.
Armstrong was first brought in to recycle its suspended ceilings at the 2008 airshow by the event’s largest independent chalet fitting contractor SDD|GES and back then saved a total of 2,600m² (or 10 tonnes) going to landfill.
David Humphreys, operations director at SDD|GES, said: “We specify the Armstrong tiles for a variety of reasons including their aesthetics, acoustics and ability to resist the higher levels of humidity on site, an element that is supported by a lifetime guarantee.
This year, Armstrong recycled five times that - a total of 13,400m2 (or 55 tonnes) of its mineral ceiling tiles. Some 1,200m2 or 4.5 tonnes were recycled from the off-cuts of the new tiles being installed before the show. Another 12,200m2 or 50 tonnes came from the tiles being dismantled at the end of the show. After dismantling, the palletised mineral tiles, as well as 20 bags of ceiling off-cuts, were collated in a holding area in the exhibition hall then transported by a total of eight Armstrong trucks back to the company’s plant in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, where they are broken down and used as the raw material for new tiles.
RRNews Issue 12
The corporate hospitality and business chalets, which are used by such prestigious exhibitors as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Rolls Royce, typically take five weeks to build and fit out and one week to dismantle.

“In addition, the End-of-Life recycling schemes have been so successful we did not hesitate to specify the Off-Cut scheme as Armstrong’s recycling scheme is well established and efficient. We knew Armstrong could handle the potential for a much larger involvement this year and we have been very pleased to pro-actively encourage the recycling scheme to the wider site, beyond the SDD|GES scope of projects. ” For details of Armstrong Ceilings’ Off-Cut recycling scheme visit: www.armstrong.co.uk/commclgeu/eu1/uk/gb/environment_recycling_program.html For further information about Armstrong’s products visit: www.armstrong-ceilings.co.uk.

Allen Construction Consultancy he existing bedsits were poorly laid out with a large amount of circulation space, being difficult to heat and with poor acoustics between units. In order to improve the internal layout, increase the acoustic performance and update the thermal performance, a blank sheet approach was needed to ensure the opportunity was maximised.

The new layout designed by Allen Construction Consultancy, which incorporated the existing balcony spaces, provides much more appealing and space efficient flats.
Allen Construction continues to work with Ealing Council to improve sheltered housing Allen Construction Consultancy has a long and established relationship with Ealing Council, and was invited to undertake a feasibility study to convert existing hard to let bedsits at two sheltered housing schemes at Creswick Road and St. Andrews Road, Acton, into accessible 1-bed flats.

The new layout designed by Allen Construction Consultancy, which incorporated the existing balcony spaces, provides much more appealing and space efficient flats.

As all properties needed to be complete in a short period of time to allow displaced residents to return home as soon as possible, we needed an efficient and affordable solution that could be installed in situ with the minimal disruption to residents. Although the buildings already existed, because they were changing use from bedsits to flats, we also had to ensure the conversions met full building regulations. After extensive internet searches, we were very pleased to find Matilda’s Planet, and their product, Matilda’s Blanket. This product offered a fast track, durable, engineered solution that met the brief and minimised waste. By utilising their skills for installation, we were able to create desirable flats with improved layouts, better energy efficiency and improved acoustics.

No plastering required
Matilda’s Blanket has a smooth Rigidur finish, which can be painted just as soon as the last panel is in place!
Tough
The front face of the Blanket can take a significant amount of day-to-day abuse and punishment. In tests (with a sledge hammer!), Matilda’s Blanket was at least 15x stronger than plasterboard.
Strong
Shelves, radiators, boilers…direct fixing to the Blanket is not a problem. Point loading is in excess of 50Kg.
Sound Insulating
Matilda’s Blanket has no mechanical connection to the cold wall it’s insulating you from. This fundamental design requirement for heat insulation also leads to significantly improved acoustic isolation.
Slim line
Internal wall insulation inevitably takes up space in your home, there’s no getting away from that. The Blanket’s unique composite sandwich of materials can deliver the same level of insulation at 60% of the thickness of traditional IWI methods. In a typical solid wall property, a Blanket thickness of just 81mm can be all that’s required.
Energy and Cost Savings
This is the main driver for considering Internal Wall Insulation, it goes with out saying that the Blanket performs very well indeed. A SAP assessment of Matilda’s Blanket typically shows an 11% better outcome than traditional solutions.
Introducing Matilda’s Blanket Matilda’s Blanket is a completely new and fresh approach to the Internal Wall Insulation challenge and we knew from an early stage in the product development process that we were onto something very compelling, a system that would undoubtedly create a stir in the retrofit and energy saving marketplace.
B
ut where did we come from, why ‘Matilda’?
When a bright five-year-old called Matilda was having the meaning of climate change explained to her by her father, in a moment of brilliance, and using the kind of pure
3
logic only a child has, she replied: “We don’t want the planet to be yukky, do we Daddy? Isn’t that for the grown-ups to fix?” And in that simple moment, Matilda’s Planet and the Blanket were born. Matilda’s Blanket is going from strength to strength as the market becomes more aware of the system and begins to understand the huge benefits for the homeowner and the installer. Offsite manufacture allows us to tailor
the build to the property, delivering the complete system to site on a property by property basis, along with all required components for the installation. If little or no waste, along with a quick install with the resident in situ (typically one room in one day) isn’t a compelling enough argument then consider the above. The non technical bit is just as important – you get a cosy home. Now bring all of the earlier points back into the equation and you have a very compelling argument indeed.
Matilda’s Blanket is going from strength to strength as the market becomes more aware of the system and begins to understand the huge benefits for the homeowner and the installer. To date, Matilda’s Blanket has been made available, almost exclusively, to the commercial market. However, we’re very pleased to announce that from the start of 2015, ‘Matilda’s Warm Homes’ will be offering an installed solution directly to the homeowner. At Matilda’s Planet we are committed to finding new energy saving solutions and challenging traditional methods. In Matilda’s Blanket, we’re confident that we’ve created a very cost effective, efficient and robust system that delivers so much more than just heat insulation.

is a thermally insulated floor used to construct ground floors. It’s a concept that is really gaining momentum because builders are looking to save construction costs and buyers are wanting lower heating costs. WarmFloor delivers both lower costs and higher levels of insulation, so we’re seeing increased uptake and we’re gearing up for expansion in this sector. Furthermore, we anticipate delivery in the coming months of a new adjustable steel mould from the Continent which will expand our capabilities greatly. The new mould will allow us to offer some of
the more complex stair designs (which we currently manufacture using the traditional method of custom timber moulds) in a steel mould. The upshot is that we will be able to respond more quickly to orders and deliver a first class finish. An additional bonus to manufacturing in this way is that we can incorporate customised stair recesses and nosing which is something our clients have been repeatedly asking for.

The key advantages of precast are namely: r Precast components are manufactured off-site in an enclosed, controlled casting environment which means consistent quality and avoids potential delays due to inclement weather conditions. r Precast floors and stairs allow immediate site access and finishing access following installation, providing a solid footing and meaning no delays for follow on trades. r Components can be delivered to site as required in the build process meaning that on site storage is not an issue when space is at a premium. r Quicker than in-situ mould construction and pouring – arguably safer too! Potentially, it can be made in to any shape which offers great design flexibility. r Cost certainty + quality control makes keeping to a strict budget is easier with precast. Repeat casting from moulds means great results every time and cost efficiency through repetition. r Accountability – Design, manufacture and installation (all by Milbank) means responsibility and swift resolution to any issues that may arise. All our products are designed and manufactured to British Standards. r The density of precast makes for excellent sound reduction (especially appreciated in residential buildings). It also makes it highly impact absorbent. r Concrete’s thermal mass offers designers the chance to exploit the natural properties of precast concrete for cooling and heating a structure. r Longevity – precast concrete is tough and durable and has excellent exposure properties. It is wholly resistant to insect pests, vermin attacks, fungus and mildew, chemical attack etc.

Warm and Peaceful Living above the 24/7 Society Regent Street is having a makeover. Many of its properties are being rejuvenated and a recent example is the conversion of two disused office buildings; Albany House on Regent St and the other in Mortimer St.
T
hese have been redeveloped to create twenty four high-spec, luxury apartments a stone’s throw away from some of London’s most desirable attractions. Being Grade II listed, the original single glazed sash windows could not be altered in any way so careful thought had to be given to dealing with traffic noise, drafts and heat loss associated with older windows. MSMR architects approached Selectaglaze to assist in developing a solution. Secondary windows fitted with a gap of 100-200mm will achieve noise reductions of at least 45dB. The frames are bespoke and tightly sealed which almost eliminates uncomfortable drafts and the use of thermally efficient low emissivity glass reduces heat loss by more than half to give a U-value of around 1.9. Selectaglaze developed a range of designs to meet the performance requirements and to be sympathetic with the overall design. This included one particularly noisy balcony which was treated with large hinged secondary doors glazed with 10.8mm laminated glass. The inclusion of Selectaglaze Secondary Glazing for both thermal retention and noise insulation contributed towards the properties being awarded an Eco Homes Excellent rating. Established in 1966 and granted the Royal Warrant in 2004, Selectaglaze is the UK’s leading secondary glazing specialist with extensive experience of working in buildings of all styles, including listed properties. Selectaglaze offers a free technical advisory service and a RIBA approved CPD for architects and designers.

The Coatings double the life of the coils blocks and reduce the energy consumption (< 25%) on units in corrosive environments (airports, ports, industrial, coastal and city centres). The coatings can be applied to new units prior to installation or to units already installed on site.
Supplied by distributor Top Matting, this entrance flooring system was chosen for its ease of maintenance, quick installation time and ex-stock availability. Manufactured from flexible PVC in the UK and USA by Plastic Extruders Ltd (Plastex), the product features an open grid which scrapes dirt off shoes and allows it to fall through, whilst the absorbent inserts capture moisture, keeping internal floors clean and dry. This translates to a reduction of cleaning and maintenance costs. More information and samples are available from Plastic Extruders on tel: 01268 571116 or from www.frontrunnerplus.com.
Heat Exchangers consisting of copper tubed , aluminium fins, are subject to galvanic corrosion and oxidation. This leads to reduced life and early replacement (and the associated costs). Blygold coatings are postcoat treatments with metal in the pigmentation and do not reduce the capacity of the unit. They are hydrophobic and stop the dirt and chemicals blocking the air flow through the coil. For further details contact Blygold (UK) Ltd., T: 01895 259346 or visit: www.Blygold.com

Serpentine Gallery glazing is as pretty as a picture Armed with a mini crane and an array of vacuum lifters, GGR Group helped to create the spectacular looking Serpentine Sackler Gallery in Hyde Park, London.
T
he new Serpentine Sackler Gallery has been designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate Zaha Hadid. The gallery brings this 1805, Grade II listed former gunpowder store into public use for the first time in its 208 year history. Built from a glass-fibre textile, the new tensile structure forms a free-flowing white canopy that is supported by five tapered steel columns and outlined by a frameless glass wall. Working with the structural glazing supplier for the project, GGR’s team of operators created the modern, glass wall that curves around the building beneath an undulating roof.

the gallery. This compact crane was able to fit panels up to 4 metres tall and weighing up to 620kg underneath the curved white canopy using P11104 4-in-Line, DSZ2 and Hydraulica 900C glass lifters. The Hydraulica 900C is a 900kg capacity dual circuit vacuum lifter specially designed for working with curved glass units like this. The lifter features 30 flexible vacuum pads
GGR Group’s lifting equipment has been hired to assist with glazing projects at the Serpentine Gallery in the past. A Hydraulica 1200 glass lifter was used to create the 2011 Summer pavilion, installing large red glass panels to create structures designed by French architect Jean Nouvel.

Fibrelite Working with Composites: A Material of the Future Say Goodbye to Heavy Metal and Concrete! Industries are choosing composites and moving away from traditional materials as they react to changing regulations, whole life costs and stricter health and safety policies.
F
ibrelite has seen a tremendous increase in enquiries for their lightweight composite access covers from industries keen to move away from the traditionally used metal and concrete and change their specifications to composites. “We have experienced a huge increase in new enquiries especially over the last 12 months from all major industries including rail, ports and airports, water, gas and electricity companies, power stations, retail and commercial developments, telecoms, sports arenas and stadiums - in fact the applications are endless.” reports Ian Thompson, Managing Director. “And with RIDDOR (Reporting or Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) statistics attributing over half of injuries that result in an
absence from work to manual handling it’s clear that reducing hazards in this area is a priority. Our design incorporates up to two lifting points in the cover for specially designed lifting handles which allow operatives to remove the covers without using their fingers or bending over. “Another major problem facing our clients across the globe is aging infrastructure. Bridges, highways, rail network, water lines and sewer systems are all deteriorating at a rapid pace with corrosion a principal
factor. GRP products are corrosion-resistant and so ideal for retrofit applications that arrest the problem. “We can also provide bespoke and custom trench covering solutions to match customer specifications so the trench cover dimensions, internal stiffeners and fibre architecture can be altered to optimise the performance of each panel based on individual projectspecific design criteria. “And, in response to customer demand, we can mould our composite covers in nearly any colour or combination of colours to blend in with the colourscheme of a facility or to colour-code service entry points. In fact we can even include any style logo or marking in the upper surface of the cover in single or multiple colours. “

STATE-OF-THE-ART HOPEWOOD PARK sets new benchmarks for quality and long term value in modern mental health accommodation using Dura Cladding, composite timber cladding Deciding on a look for a new build or renovation can be a seriously stressful experience for the end client, whether they be a self builder or a multi-national organisation. Many wrestle with the dilemma of using modern materials for a sleek and fresh look or the use traditional materials such as wood. Whilst natural wood cladding represents a sizeable chunk of the wall cladding and façade market place, it is an area that must be fully understood if you are to achieve the look you want for a long period of time. That is because most timber cladding will fade significantly and begin to rot over time unless it is treated with the appropriate paint or stain at regular intervals. An alternative to using natural timber comes in the form of composite timber cladding. That is where natural wood flour is used within a composite mix to create a material that is more suited to battling the elements over an extended life cycle in all weather conditions. Dura Cladding is the leading product on the market where selected recycled wood and recycled high density polyethylene is used to create a cladding plank that offers the natural appearance of wood cladding but without the hassle or expense of periodic maintenance to preserve the wood. Hopewood Park, a new 137-bed purpose-built
mental health hospital, was completed in June 2014 at Ryhope, Sunderland. It has been designed to provide modern and inspiring facilities for local mental health services by Medical Architecture, who utilised Dura Composites’ Dura Cladding as a major design element. The design idea was to use a cladding material commensurate with the state-ofthe-art design brief but yet would be ‘at one’ with nature. Natural wood cladding is the obvious choice but this would require significant maintenance and its appearance would change significantly over time as the wood weathers. The natural wood look and texture of the composite Dura Cladding enhanced the feeling of tranquillity and connection with the local landscape; its defining use was on several different types of wall façade as well as cladding for soffits and under ceilings. As well as contributing so much to the overall design ethos, Dura Cladding is easily installed, needs minimal maintenance and will not splinter, warp or rot throughout its 50 years design life expectancy whilst retaining the vast majority of its colour following initial weathering period. Another significant factor that led to its selection were the green credentials - 87% recycled content and also the fact that the product can be supplied as FSC © 100%.

BRETT LANDSCAPING PROVIDES A‘NATURAL’ PAVING SOLUTION FOR POLICE TRAINING CENTRE A new training school, developed for West Yorkshire Police in Carr Gate, Wakefield, has recently had its external landscaping completed using UK sourced natural stone, single size Fens Moss Yorkstone paving along with Omega block paving in Burnt Oak – another impressive project that’s been undertaken using the design and supply services of Brett Landscaping. The building, which has been developed by Interserve, has been purposefully designed to accommodate facilities for West Yorkshire Police training including crime, driver, IT, recruit, firearms and public order. After a comprehensive design and build process, the completed training school is notable for the use of cedar cladding to complement the surrounding environment. During construction, it was felt that the building’s striking design merited a landscaping solution to equal its appearance; however, associated plans had not been drawn to accomplish this aspect of the design.
RRNews Issue 12
To meet this requirement, a paving partnership had to be established, as James Derry, Procurement Manager at Howard Civil Engineering, the development’s groundworking contractor explains: “As groundwork contractor, it became part of our remit to specify and install a product of appropriate material and size to complement Interserve’s excellent landscaping drawings.”
30
Brett Landscaping was recommended due to its proven experience in supping paving for civic buildings. The company presented Howard Civil Engineering with a portfolio of product choices to enhance the area. Each option would provide appropriate drainage and allow maintenance to be both feasible and realistic, once the chosen solution had been installed. From these suggestions, Howard and Interserve selected 1,200 sq.m of Fens Moss, a Yorkstone flag paver from the Brett natural
stone range. It was felt that Fens Moss, a fine grained Yorkstone, blue / grey stone, supplied as a single sized flag, as opposed to the more typical approach using a constant gauge but with random lengths, thereby helping to create a unique aesthetic for the project. This was matched with 600 sq.m of Omega block paving in Burnt Oak for a pedestrian ramp to provide the perfect finish to complement both the building itself as well as the surrounding Yorkshire landscapes. “From assessing the site, and working with Howard Civil Engineering to adhere to the budget, we knew the best recommendation would be to install natural stone slabs, of appropriate size to sit effectively within the building’s design. We then worked to design and supply the right solution, efficiently, and to budget,” explains Jamie Gledhill, Civils Sales Manager at Brett Landscaping.

Fiberon® composites made from recycled materials for ease of care, safety and durability without compromising looks. Using Fiberon® composite material for fencing, decking and railing is the way forward for new installations because the materials resist water and harsh weather. mportantly, they are much safer than traditional timber especially for decking which splits and splinters with age and becomes dangerously slippery when wet. The main benefits of Fiberon’s solid core composite decking boards for eg, are minimal maintenance, high slip resistance, no splintering or splitting, ease of installation and long lasting performance.
I
There is no need for staining or painting ever, to protect the material from fading or cracking. This means saving on cost of treatment oil yearly, saving time to paint it and no downtime on the deck. A Fiberon® deck looks beautiful and appealing all year round. It also does not become out of bounds when it rains or snows as it has sufficiently high slip resistance. (Contact SEAC for slip test report by an independent body in UK). As Fiberon® decking board does not split or splinter, the deck is safe for bare feet and rubber tubs too. Fiberon® composites are engineered from a composition of at least 80% recycled plastics and
wood, without the use of any harmful or toxic chemicals. The composition makes it so tough that the manufacturer offers up to 25 years warranty on durability and the capped products with additional warranty on fade and stain resistance. All the decking, railing and fencing materials come in a range of colours and sizes with the Professional® grey also available in thicker board, dedicated for use in marine environment. More details can be found in www. fiberondecking.co.uk. In stock and supplied from the Midlands (Leicestershire) by SEAC Ltd, are 2.44m and 3.66m length decking boards, decking joists, ‘Mission’ railing in white and garden fencing and posts kit in Pacific Redwood. Customers can buy or request a quote directly from SEAC.

Turn Key’s specialised design removes the need for hotel leak detection The installation of a new air conditioning system into a Buckinghamshire hotel is demonstrating how the clever use of design and specification can remove the need for leak detection equipment in occupied spaces. PACAIR also helped ensure that the equipment design was modular to allow the hotel to continue trading during the refurbishment and minimise the disruption to both the business and its guests. This is where the unique two-pipe, heat recovery City Multi system comes into its own as it provides much more flexibility of design and installation. “Each room is fairly unique so we also had to ensure that the design was flexible enough to cope with the different sizes and layouts,” said
PACAIR Managing Director, Nigel Palmer. PACAIR also used its specialist knowledge of the complete Mitsubishi Electric range to advise on the installation of a Melcotel hotel control system which links each individual room to the Ving cards, so that systems will not operate when unoccupied. The hotel has been refurbished to the highest standards with the entire project expected to be completed in the spring of 2015. Turn Key has also fitted the infrastructure to the

T
he Crowne Plaza, Gerrards Cross is a 147-bedroomed hotel and conference centre which has undergone a complete refurbishment having been bought by the Cairn Hotel Group. Specialist air conditioning contractors, Turn Key Air Conditioning Ltd has installed a Mitsubishi Electric City Multi heat recovery system into the hotel, to offer guests the ultimate in modern comfort and style. Current legislation restricts the use of refrigerants in buildings, with EN378 in particular intended to minimise possible hazards to persons, property and the environment from refrigerating systems and refrigerants. Under EN378 legislation, which is particularly applicable for hotels, leak detection equipment must normally be provided if, in the case of R410a, a concentration of 0.44 kg/ m3 refrigerant could be exceeded, if all of the refrigerant from a system were to leak into a single room. Turn Key has developed an on-going relationship with The Cairn Group since providing maintenance service and advice on the Newcastle International Hotel. Swirles and his team have extensive hotel experience and this gave the Cairn Group the confidence to bring Turn Key in at an early part of the design process. “We worked closely with The Cairn Group from day one to design a system that meets all requirements in terms of guest comfort, energy efficiency and legislation,” explained Mitch Swirles, Managing Director of Turn Key Air Conditioning Ltd. In close association with Mitsubishi Electric Value Added Reseller (VAR) PACAIR, Turn Key designed the system with the minimum amount of refrigerant in each bedroom to comply with EN378.
ground floor and designed the installation process to allow it to be completed in five distinct phases to minimise disruption. In addition to ducted fancoil units in the rooms, City Multi ceiling cassettes are being installed in all public areas, whilst Lossnay mechanical ventilations with heat recovery is being used to energy-efficiently maximise the amount of fresh air within the building. “When we were asked to help with this project, we saw it as ideal opportunity to design out the need for leak detection,” explained Swirles. “We are now looking at how we implement this in other situations with The Cairn Group.”

Bioethanol making fires more energy efficient Bioethanol fires are some of the most energy efficient ways of heating a room, experts claim. According to the specialists at EcoSmart Fire, because bioethanol is a clean burning fuel, no chimney or flue is needed meaning there is minimal heat loss. Bioethanol is naturally sourced from agriculture, producing only water vapour when burnt. Hence, the burners can be used indoors without any emission of noxious gases. The design of the EcoSmart Fires also makes them incredibly energy efficient, with the burners able to regulate the amount of fuel used. This means the running costs of the fires can be altered depending on the amount of heat you want in the room. Even though these fires are high-end, luxury items, they will save you money in the long term as not only are they efficient and low maintenance but are built to last.

Introducing The New 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat
Warmup Plc, the world’s best-selling floor heating brand, with over 2 million systems sold within 60 countries and manufacturer of the 3iE Energy-Monitor Thermostat, is proud to announce the launch of the 4iE Smart WiFi Thermostat. The 4iE is suitable for use with radiator and underfloor heating systems. If the 4iE is registered before 31st August 2015, it comes complete with a free lifetime warranty upgrade. This presents a solution that is unrivalled by any other supplier.
How Does it Work? The 4iE learns how homeowners use their heating and the unique way their house reacts. It then automatically suggests ways to save energy, suggesting what temperature should be set when you are not at home and when you can turn the heating off early. The 4iE offers many features and benefits that make it stand out from other smart thermostats, offering important advantages to the homeowner and trade professional: 4iE™ Smart WiFi Thermostat Bright Porcelain (BP) £166.66 (Excl VAT)
Smarter – Many thermostats can be controlled by a smartphone. Only the 4iE, using over 10 years data analysis from the Warmup Research Centre in Germany and Monitored Family Homes Programme, learns how you use your heating and tells you how to optimise your temperature settings. Better – Smart Overrides make it quick and easy to control your heating. The 4iE also offers energy monitoring, complete with graphical displays of energy usage, temperatures and costs. This is ideal for those who want to get the perfect balance between comfort and economy by using the thermostat’s programmability and personalised tips feature. The 4iE also offers unique customisation by allowing users to upload a personal photo background. The thermostat will even provide local weather forecasts and your travel updates.
4iE™ Smart WiFi Thermostat Onyx Black (OB) £166.66 (Excl VAT)
Independent – Warmup is independent from energy suppliers and the 4iE works automatically to find you better energy prices from alternative suppliers.
Ease of Installation and Control The 4iE is incredibly easy to install. It uses a standard 35mm deep back box to house connections behind its stylish facia. It is installed just like a traditional three-wire thermostat and therefore easily replaces existing controls – including covering fixing holes from old thermostats without the need for additional plates. Once installed, WiFi connection can be completed by the homeowner along with the intuitive and easy to understand programming. When set to ‘learning mode’ it will quickly learn how you use the heating with no need to reprogram if your routine changes. The 4iE can be controlled from its touchscreen or through smartphones and tablets via a personal MyWarmup account. Thanks to its early start technology, the 4iE will also self-adjust the heating. This ensures that your customers’ home is always at the right temperature at the right time.
To receive further information on the 4iE, or to place an order, please contact Warmup on 0845 345 2288, email uk@warmup.com or visit www.warmup.co.uk

THE LONDON HaIR GROUP revamps its London showpiece salon with the help of Oakland Projects Well known London-based hairdresser and visionary, Keith Warner, the owner of THE LONDON HaIR GROUP, has just refurbished and revamped his showpiece salon based in the heart of West London at High Street, Ealing Broadway.
T
o ensure that the premised exuded an eclectic look, Keith appointed bespoke shopfitters and builders, Oakland Projects, one of London’s sharpest exponents of refurbishment and renovation, and at the cutting edge, just like Keith Warner.
Oakland Projects Ltd has over 25 years’ experience in bespoke construction, shopfitting and refurbishment contract work for many blue chip clients. The company is based at Leven, near Beverley in East Yorkshire and central London. The company had just six weeks to carry out the makeover with the minimum of disruption, however Oakland prides itself on its phased innovative and enviro-friendly approach to all retail refurbishment, while completing jobs on time and within budgets. What Keith envisioned was the idea of bringing the outside, inside. Block stone walls and weathered brick walls with period window openings that featured mirrors instead of walls, plus a screeded floor specially treated to make it look like exterior concrete, all helped to create a street scene. Elaborate but fake corbels jutting from the stone brickwork provided a period finish, while a newly installed mezzanine floor installed by Oakland Projects meant extra space within the building for a nail parlour, beauty salon and luxury massage area with the hair studio at ground level. The ceiling was finished in black and chandeliers were also installed along with air conditioning. The complete refurbishment has created a boom in business for THE LONDON HaIR GROUP and now the company plans to
extend into the City of London and trendy Notting Hill. Oakland Projects Ltd has over 25 years’ experience in bespoke construction, shopfitting and refurbishment contract work for many blue chip clients. The company is based at Leven, near Beverley in East Yorkshire and central London. Keith Warner has worked on film sets and television studios as well as on photo shoots for famous fashion magazines. Education led, he strongly believes in promoting colleges with hairdressing courses and helping young adults to pursue careers in hair care. He is proud of his salon and his staff. He calls them creative, dedicated and enthusiastic. For further information on Oakland Projects please contact Paul Sundborg, Operations Director, on 0845 862 1041 email info@oaklandprojects.co.uk.

At Apollo Lighting we know that lighting for art galleries and museums is one of the most challenging applications. Accuracy of colour rendering, beam spread, and appropriate light intensity are all critical factors to successfully illuminating priceless pieces of works and antiques. Most galleries are currently lit with a wide range of traditional tungsten halogen light sources but with the advances in commercial LED technology, considerable energy savings can be made. One of the most compelling benefits of LEDs is the mitigation of damaging ultra violet light emissions, eliminating risk of damage to displays. Specialising in high quality design and manufacture of bespoke lighting solutions, we have the ability to replicate period lighting and adopt the evolution of LEDs.

Easy Stair - Temporary Staircase EASY - SAFE
Easy Stair is a temporary staircase which provides access to upper Àoors prior to the installation of permanent stairs. Easy Stair is particularly useful when a project involves the installation of quality, expensive stairs as installing a temporary staircase can prevent damage to the ¿nished staircase. Preventing damage to the ¿nished stairs can potentially save a great deal of money, delays and problems! Where a bespoke staircase is being installed Easy Stair also allows greater time to ¿nalise the design and manufacture without delaying the program. Easy Stair allows easy access for clients to gain access to upper Àoors during site meetings and view site progress. A temporary staircase will also speed up the building process as site operatives can use a speedy, safe method of access (rather than ladders) - again saving money and potentially reducing the program time. Easy Stair is delivered to site fully assembled, it is simply lifted into position secured by two screws and the handrails inserted into either side. The stair unit weighs only 25kg and is available throughout the UK on a next day delivery service. When used with suitable stairwell edge protection, stairwells can be safer, easier and improve productivity from the very start of the construction process. The stairs are 600mm wide and suit Àoor to Àoor heights ranging from 2.65m to 3.05m.

SPRA launches generic BIM objects on the NBS National BIM Library The first trade association to receive RIBA recognition With the 2016 Government-imposed deadline for BIM use on publiclyfunded projects approaching, awareness of BIM and adoption rates among specifiers is growing rapidly, with almost half of respondents sourcing BIM objects from a specialist BIM library according to the findings of the latest NBS National BIM Survey. The Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA) is the first trade organisation to have its BIM objects included on the NBS National BIM Library. Launching seven most commonly used roof build ups - which are ideally suited for the use of single ply systems on flat, pitched or curved roofs - these BIM objects can be switched to a specific manufacturer’s product as the project progresses. With commitment to BIM there are real opportunities to deliver improved buildings at the heart of the community (schools, hospitals, sheltered housing etc.) alongside the project supply chain benefiting from standardised information and collaboration enabling better decision-making, improved productivity, increased efficiency, competitive advantage and higher profitability. And sourcing BIM objects from an industry-leading library means objects are always current and accurate. Quick and easy to download, specifiers have the additional reassurance that the seven roof types available on the NBS National BIM Library have been designed to SPRA standards and guidelines.
RRNews Issue 12
“Following our discussions with NBS last year concerning the role of industry-recognised trade bodies assisting with the development of generic BIM objects, we are delighted to be the first trade organisation to have launched our BIM programme,” commented James Talman, SPRA CEO.

Right Place, Right Time for Flexim Roof Putty in UK Housebuilding A recent review of NHBC claims has highlighted continuing concerns over the effectiveness of mortar bonded ridge tiles.

contractors. Indeed, tests have shown that when materials and labour are taken into account, Flexim Roof Putty is up to 50% cheaper to install than conventional cement mortars. And just as importantly from a health and safety perspective, the lightweight Flexim strips are not a backbreaker to transport onto the roof and install.

igures show that approximately 60% of all NHBC claims in years 3-10 relate to pitched roofs with the vast majority being dominated by mortar issues. This in turn can account for over £10million of NHBC’s annual claims spend, with the total cost to the industry being significantly higher*.
F
Recent years have seen the NHBC work hard to raise awareness of these issues in pitched roofing, and in January 2012 it introduced important new guidance criteria. This stated that ridge and hip tiles bonded in mortar should also be mechanically fixed, whilst also recommending that mortar bonded verges are bedded and pointed immediately. In addition, the revised guidelines emphasized the importance of using the correct mortar mix, and although some progress has been made in terms of education, the costly problems relating to poorly bonded roof tiles are in danger of continuing.
Successfully tested at wind speeds of 110 miles per hour, it is independently certified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) and meets the NHBC standards. Importantly, the product is also environmentally friendly as it is formulated using natural linseed oil, and it is therefore ideal for use during sustainable building construction.
However, an innovative, award-winning alternative from iBuilding Products Ltd could well be the perfect solution. Flexim Roof Putty is a ready-to-use, flexible, lightweight, storm-proof roof putty, designed specifically for use in the housebuilding market. *Source: NHBC Technical Extra Issue 14 – July 2014

However, an innovative, award-winning alternative from iBuilding Products Ltd could well be the perfect solution. Flexim Roof Putty is a ready-to-use, flexible, lightweight, storm-proof roof putty, designed specifically for use in the housebuilding market. It is ideal for both new build construction and reroofing projects, and its impressive versatility means it can be used on everything from bonding ridge caps and hip tiles, to adhering tiles and tile pieces to valleys and roof windows. In addition, because Flexim can also be used to treat a range of other minor repairs and leaks, it certainly pays for contractors to make sure that they’ve always got a box available in their van. Indeed, with all of these benefits in mind, it may come as no surprise to learn that Flexim Roof Putty’s revolutionary properties were formally recognised at Roofex 2013 in Birmingham, where it won the prestigious award for ‘Most Innovative Product’. Reduced Hassle, Reduced Costs Supplied in ready-to-use strips, Flexim Roof Putty is rapid and easy to install and is instantly water resistant. It can also be installed in as little as one third of the time of traditional mortar bonding systems, and therefore offers significant cost saving benefits for both housebuilders and
Jelle Appelman, Managing Director of iBuilding Products Ltd. commented: “Flexim Roof Putty has a proven track record of almost 30 years, and has been successfully installed on more than 4 million roofs worldwide. We are excited to now be expanding our presence in the UK, particularly at a time when the housebuilding sector is in need of an effective alternative to traditional mortar bonding. The product has many unique benefits and it has already gained significant interest from house builders, contractors and merchants alike.”
Flexim Roof Putty is up to 50% cheaper to install than conventional cement mortars. And just as importantly from a health and safety perspective, the lightweight Flexim strips are not a back-breaker to transport onto the roof and install. Available in black, red, grey, light brown and dark brown as standard, the product is perfectly suited to a range of different roof tiles including concrete, clay and slate. iBuilding Products offers full support to merchants wanting to stock Flexim Roof Putty, including trade demonstration days, literature and point of sale items. All in all, there’s never been a better time to find out more about this innovative pitched roof bonding solution. Further information can be found at www. fleximroofputty.com
