68 ROOFING, CLADDING & INSULATION
Long term solution to leaking flat roofs The Elastaseal range of cold liquid applied coating systems, from Tor Coatings, is specifically designed to eliminate problems associated with the long term waterproofing of flat roofs. Products in the range provide a fast drying, seamless surface that encapsulates the roof substrate to provide a completely joint free coating thereby eliminating the risk of leaks. The single pack, cold applied formulation provides ease of application while at the same time removing the hazards and inconvenience associated with conventional hot applied alternatives. Life cycle performance is dependent on the system chosen but ranges from between 10 and 25 years (BBA
approved). Click here to request literature
Rainscreen revolution Ascolit has developed a universal rainscreen system to give architects more aesthetic control & design freedom & installers a simpler, more efficient process delivering consistent quality on
site.The linear grid ‘Lingrid 1’ system is based on traditional hook-on rainscreen technology but engineered for simplicity & ease of adjustment. The unique panel carrier is fully adjustable & can be locked or unlocked easily. This allows installation from any start- point which can even be carried out at random, while panels can be plumb and lined without removal & any damaged panels taken out without effecting surrounding panels. As a result, aesthetic intentions & detailing are consistently reflected in the finished
façade. Click here to request literature
Weatherboard
turns the tide A 1960s office block on Brighton seafront has been transformed using fibre cement Cedral Weatherboard from Marley Eternit specified because its subtly textured surface created the visual appeal of timber.Unlike timber, fibre cement Cedral Weatherboard does not warp or shrink, making it an excellent long-term low maintenance
solution.The Cedral Weatherboard was selected in a blue grey colour to reflect the
coastal location of the building. Click here to request literature

Code 3 Homes
delivered Insulslab SFRC, was installed at a new affordable housing development in Newport, Wales. TI Smith Properties designed high levels of insulation into the building fabric, including Insulslab SFRC, to achieve Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Delivering the foundation up to ground floor level, Insulslab SFRC gives the developer greater flexibility over thermal envelope design by improving insulation performance of the floor. Insulslab SFRC can easily achieve very low U values while keeping the floor depth to a minimum.

spray foam
Scouts benefit Daventry Scout Hut has benefited from Hanson’s Jetfloor system, which uses thermally efficient Jablite expanded polystyrene (from Vencel Resil) .The Jetfloor system consists of EPS blocks suspended from pre- stressed beams, which are then finished with a structural concrete topping reinforced with polypropylene fibres.
It can help
meet the requirements of Part L Building Regulations, providing U- values as low as 0.15 (W/m2K) when low lambda EPS is specified. Low lambda material offers a 25 per cent improvement in thermal performance for the system and
current requirements. Click here to request literature
insulation for internal walls and
roofs.It provides a fast applied, seamless airtight insulation solution giving lower U-values than many conventional
alternatives.The continuous spray leaves a minimal amount of surface area without insulation resulting in some cases, a 30% decrease in thermal transmission & an airtight building envelope of low permeability without the need for supplementary material. With its closed cell structure it helps control the movement of vapour and moisture. Click here to request literature
