3M
3M has launched a new insulation bonding adhesive, which offers the construction markets a superior bond- ing method specifically designed to fix insulation boards to a variety of substrates in both new-build and refurbishment applications. 3M CR-20 Polyurethane Insulation Bonding Adhesive is a low-rise, two-component polyurethane adhesive offering out- standing adhesive properties in addi- tion to controlled gap fill. Each of the two components are dispensed from
their own pressurised disposable canister, utilising 3M’s two-component dis- posable foam applicator, making it clean, quick and easy to dispense.
Quartz-Zinc, Anthra-Zinc and Pigmento pre-weathered colours (Reydon House is Anthra-Zinc) continue to develop a natural patina in the same way as the natural metal. VMZINC systems retain their 'as new' appear- ance for years, without re-coating or protection of cut edges. Maintenance requirements are therefore minimal. Zinc’s flexibility and malleability lends itself to complex detailing,
thereby giving architects infinite design scope. The appearance of pre- weathered colours (which include Pigmento Green, Red and Blue) is unlike any other metal and this individuality has proven popular with designers. The colours complement a wide range of building materials and architectural styles, both contemporary and traditional. As a result, VMZINC systems are used across the building spectrum, for new builds, refurbishments and restorations. In terms of zinc cladding systems, there are two predominant types: standing seam and interlocking panel, with vertical and horizontal panels available for both. Panels are available 0.7mm and 0.8mm thick in lengths (standing seam) of up to 6 metres. Interlocking panels are fixed directly on wood or metal transverse purlins spaced a maximum of 600mm apart and are used with a rainscreen. Standing seam is applied directly to boards. In terms of energy used to manufacture zinc systems from ore, compared
with other metals very little is needed: less than half the consumption of copper and stainless steel and less than a quarter of that used for alu- minium. This is equally true even whether considering zinc ore or recycled material. Zinc’s typical lifespan can exceed 100 years. The black zinc cladding is 100 per cent recyclable. Zinc requires min-
imal to no maintenance due to its naturally forming patina, which is self- protecting, giving character to the façade of a building.

Marley Eternit’s fibre cement Cedral Weatherboard has been specified as an overclad solution on a dated 1960s bungalow in Peacehaven on the Sussex coast. The durable and low maintenance benefits of Marley Eternit’s Cedral Weatherboard made it ideal for use on this property, which faces directly onto the seafront and is exposed to high levels of wind and rain. Being made from fibre cement means that the Cedral Weatherboard will not warp or shrink over time. It also
will not need constant re-painting, making it the perfect alternative to tradi- tional timber weatherboard. Its subtly textured surface gives the visual appearance of timber.
