a
ncon, the uK’s leading manufacturer of stainless steel masonry support and restraint fixings, is to team-up with the country’s largest brick manufacturer, ibstock, to present a range of sustainable and low energy construction solutions at this year’s ecobuild exhibition (4-6th march 2014, excel, london).
Due to be launched at the show is a new version of the company’s ground- breaking ultra-low thermal conductivity teplotie which features a stainless steel l-shaped upstand for connecting to steel, concrete or timber frames. this new tie will be displayed alongside the original teplotie and other stainless steel wire ties from the company’s extensive range of thermally efficient cavity wall ties. also on show will be ancon’s range of thermally insulated connectors, designed to maintain structural integrity while
minimising heat loss at balcony locations. standard solutions are available for concrete- to-concrete, steel-to- concrete and steel-to-steel applications. other ancon products on display will include thermal breaks for masonry support systems. stainless steel bed joint reinforcement and windposts will also be featured, which
benefit from the same low thermal conductivity, 100% recyclability and long, maintenance-free service life associated with all of the company’s market leading stainless steel products. ancon technical experts will be on hand to discuss ce-compliant fixing systems for a full range of building types and designs.
more than 130 years of manufacturing experience, substantial technical resources and multiple awards for new product development, including the prestigious Queen’s award for enterprise in innovation, mean that ancon is uniquely positioned to deliver practical, cost- effective fixing solutions for virtually any application.

KEMPER SYSTEM SHOWCASES COMPLETE
SUSTAINABLE ROOFING SOLUTIONS stand s1520/21
emper system’s stand at this year’s ecobuild continues to promote the market leading solvent-free, sustainable and odourless Kemperol 2K-Pur liquid waterproofing system and stratex Warm roof system. Kemper system’s innovative Kemperol
K
2K-Pur solvent-free and odourless system is the first solvent-free wet-on-wet cold liquid waterproofing system available on the uK market and remains the only product of its kind commercially available. the past year has seen continued growth in sales for the hard-wearing and durable waterproofing membrane, which bonds to almost any substrate to create a totally seamless, monolithic, u/V stable, elastomeric membrane. based on an 80% castor-oil formulation derived from sustainable sources, the liquid system also incorporates a flexible non-woven reinforcement fleece, which is manufactured using 25% recycled plastic bottle content. as the resin saturates the fleece in a single application process, the cured membrane cannot delaminate. offered with a 20-year warranty, the ground-breaking system is both solvent- free and odourless, making it not only ideal for sustainable new builds but also perfect for upgrades to occupied buildings as the lack of nuisance odours means that

work can be carried out while the building remains in normal use. suitable for application on top of virtually all existing roofing materials, eco-friendly Kemperol 2K-Pur can even help to prevent excessive waste from being sent to landfill during roof upgrades by avoiding the need to strip out the existing failed substrate. complementing the sustainability credentials of the Kemperol 2K-Pur system, Kemper system’s stratex Warm roof system offers a completely integrated warm roof system that incorporates primers, vapour barrier, insulation and waterproofing with a range of optional surfacing. Featuring a rigid Pir insulation board with a unique tongue and groove interlocking joint, the system significantly reduces cold bridging and gives a much smoother surface finish. Kemper system will also be showcasing the company’s Kempergro Green roof system, a three-section system comprising a reservoir attenuation composite, growing medium and

vegetation. the reservoir attenuation layer includes an upper filter fleece, central reservoir core and lower protection fleece, which are manufactured from 90% recycled materials and factory bonded to maximise performance and simplify installation. suitable for use with the Kemperol 2K Pur waterproofing membrane, Kempergro has a growing
medium that is 100% composed of recycled brick, tiles and green compost, which is processed and graded
to support an extensive range of sedum, meadow and lawn roof media. Visitors to Kemper system’s stand will be able to see how each of the systems have been used in practice, including how the Kemperol 2K-Pur waterproofing membrane and stratex Warm roof system have been used together on various high profile projects. there will also be a number of display areas where visitors to the stand will be able to view samples of the cured product to experience first hand the flexibility and durability it offers.
