Dallmer’s Renova Drains protect school’s flat roof During a recent major refurbishment at Pennoweth School in Redruth, a very substan- tial flat roof was totally relayed with vapour barrier, 80mm insulation and two layers of high quality felt. Roofing contractor Western Flat Roofing Co. Ltd, in consultation with main con- tractor Kier, ensured that the new roof would shed water efficiently and without leakage or


ponding by installing Dallmer Renova Type 63T roof drains at regular intervals, set down from the felted surface. A total of twenty Renova 63T drains were installed on the Redruth roof. The scholars at Pennoweth School should now be certain of a dry roof over their heads for many years to come even with the high rainfall for which Cornwall is sadly famed.

Door closer enhances safety in education sector Hardware manufacturer Samuel Heath is reporting increased interest from the education sector in its Perko Powermatic controlled, concealed door closer. While its fire performance credentials, mainte- nance-free service and enhanced aes- thetics are undoubtedly factors in this heightened attention, anecdotal evi- dence suggests that it is the door closer’s health and safety benefits that


are proving to be just as compelling, especially in areas where a concealed door closer can make a significant contribution towards the reduction of risk in both fire and non-fire door situations.

Logcabin for Hingham Primary School Logwise Ltd, the official agents for Honkarakenne Oyj (Honka) in the UK have recently supplied a bespoke log building for Hingham Primary School in Norfolk. Timberville Ltd, who are the Logwise agents in East Anglia, were originally approached by a local village school in Cromer that wanted to replace their tired old mobile unit


with a new log cabin to be used as a pre-school building. Logwise were provided with a concept plan for the building, which was altered and amended by their Honka trained designer and the new design proved so popular that Norfolk County Council Education Department enquired about five such buildings.
