Hydropanel Takes Some Beating
Hydropanel partition walls, from
Marley Eternit,
really do take some beating according to the BRE with recent tests confirming that it easily meets all the requirements of BS 5234-2: 1992. The tests at the BRE were carried out on a 100 mm partition wall that comprised one layer of 12 mm Hydropanel wallboard fixed to either side of steel studs at 600 mm centres using Hydropanel screws. The Hydropanel partition wall passed BS 5234-2: 1992 on all criteria, including stiffness, resistance to surface damage by a variety of objects and the effects of door slamming.

Four new office blocks on Farnborough Business Park in Hampshire have benefited from Styroclad insulation supplied by Panel Systems, which will help the building meet BREEAM requirements. The buildings are part of Project Duo, which involves a £38 million development of four x 4 storey commercial buildings. Styroclad supplied by Panel Systems was used to insulate the parapet on the flat roofs as where there is an inadequate thermal break between the building and the parapet, the upstand itself can act as a cold sink, drawing heat from the building. Styroclad is designed specifically to address this problem by insulating the parapet, reducing its ability to draw heat from the building, which will help to alleviate cold bridging and therefore improve the thermal performance of the building.

External Cladding Moving Towards Zero Carbon
Gillian Allder, Chairman, Insulation Render and Cladding Association, looks at insulated render builds for the future, colours and shapes that challenge the imagination.
stock, the external wall insulation industry has moved with the times and is now in a pole position to lead the way in meeting the exacting demands of builders, architects and developers in the new build and refurbishment fields for all types of buildings.
F
Thermal insulation standards are
set to increase following the updated Building Regulations this year and again in 2013 and 2016, as the Government moves towards zero carbon construction for new houses by 2016. Planning and/or environmental policy may follow in encouraging the vacation of many sub-standard buildings into sustainable buildings more fitted to 21st century needs. Exciting colours and new finishes
have earned external wall insulation the reputation of providing multiple
rom starting out thirty years ago as a refurbishment process, primarily for upgrading existing social housing
benefits; adding design and aesthetic appeal to its ability to enable existing buildings to exceed Building Regulations simply by adding extra insulation thickness. This revitalisation of our outdated building stock also prolongs its life and benefits the economy. The added interest in using external wall insulation is creating new markets and opportunities for this technically advanced process. External wall insulation (EWI) is specified because it is the simple, speedy way to build. It is now commonly used with modern methods of construction, steel and timber frame, as well as traditional block, to provide insulation to today’s and future increasing standards. It is chosen for its weatherproofing
properties; to add colour and texture and to contribute to the design. It creates curved surfaces for ultra modern buildings; quoins and other features are provided to match adjoining Georgian buildings. The process gives design freedom for new build and overcomes traditional restrictions. The flexibility of EWI has freed up designers to do things not possible before, thus it has the ability to be all things to all buildings. The now pressing
need for
sustainability of buildings, as well as other resources, is creating a new demand for solutions to reducing wastage and pollution. Insulated render is the solution that puts insulation in the optimum place within the building;
