NEW JANISOL STEEL WINDOW FROM SCHUECO JANSEN IS IDEAL FOR RENOVATION PROJECTS New from leading steel specialist Schueco Jansen is Janisol Arte, a highly insulated steel window system designed specifically for the renovation market. By specifying Janisol Arte, an architect can satisfy the concerns of local authority planners and building conservation officers while still ensuring that the refurbished building meets the strict energy- saving requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations. A Janisol Arte window has a narrow face-width of just 25 or 40 mm, giving it an appearance that is characteristic of the slender Bauhaus-type glazing to be found in many factories and industrial buildings. Therefore, in the majority of cases, the system will be acceptable as a replacement window even if a building has been given listed status. Importantly, Janisol Arte combines structural elegance with impressive ‘U’ values of 1.6 W/m2K using standard Low ‘E’ double-glazed units. These values are the result of advanced technology which successfully combines high-grade steel with a unique thermal break material. In terms of energy efficiency, a Janisol steel window is currently the best in its class and a coveted ‘A’ WER is expected shortly. E

SIKA-TROCAL MAKES LIGHT WORK OF ROOFING INSTALLATION AT BILLINGHAM FORUM REDEVELOPMENT
Built in the 1960s, Billingham Forum leisure complex in Stockton-on-Tees, was showing substantial signs of deterioration and needed comprehensive improvements to the building and its infrastructure to bring it up to modern standards. Several options were considered – including complete demolition and rebuild – but following the Grade II listing of the theatre, a full refurbishment was the most suitable option. Sika-Trocal Type S single ply membrane was chosen for the creation of the new roof - with proven performance on refurbishment schemes Sika-Trocal also offers an efficient method of installation.
T 01707 394444 INTERNORM’S SOLAR IS A REAL PLUS
Leading windows and doors manufacturer, Internorm has developed a specialist thermal coating which is available on its windows as standard. SOLAR+ triple glazing maximises the potential energy gains provided through solar irradiation. It prevents subsequent heat loss through the window with very low Ug values, helping to maintain a comfortable, cost, carbon and energy efficient interior environment.
SOLAR+ is a triple insulating glass that not only meets but also exceeds the requirements of Part L 2010. It both actively promotes energy transmission of solar irradiation into the building (g value) as well as preventing energy loss through the window (Ug value). The thermal conductivity of SOLAR+ is 20% higher than with standard triple glazing. This means that solar energy gain is increased by 20% too.
