Knauf Marmorit delivers warm walls Clover House, a 1960s architect-designed home, is benefiting from the rewards of Warm Wall by Knauf Marmorit to exter- nally insulate its new extension as part of the remodelling and rearrangement of the house to provide for the needs of a growing family. The prestigious house located at the top of Kingston Hill, Surrey, is a 200m² building. The project was for a new two


storey extension located at the front of the building, accommodating a new kitchen/dining space and utility room on the ground floor and a master bedroom suite above. At the rear of the building a new first floor bedroom was added over the existing living room. Knauf’s Warm Wall Basis system with contrasting coloured silicon render was used for Clover House to externally insulate and to relate to the existing changes in materials.

Standards set for blown bead cavity insulation The NBBA, which represents the UK cavity wall insulation industry using ‘blown bead’ expanded polystyrene, has re-launched its free information service through a new website that provides a central and authoritative resource for architects and construction specifiers. NBBA members are the UK’s principal manufacturers and installers of blown EPS cavity wall insulation and have committed to consistent standards and benchmarking to highlight the advantages of EPS. “Each member company of the NBBA is committed to working to demonstrate the strong


accountability and performance credentials of blown EPS bead. When properly installed by an NBBA member, EPS bead is a long-term, cost-effective and consis- tently performing cavity wall insulation suitable for new and old properties.

enq. 227 New Promaclad™ system provides extra protection


A new fire protection system launched by Promat UK has been designed to meet a growing market demand and help dispel confusion surrounding the subject of ‘foam-filled composite panels’. The company’s new Promat Promaclad™


system offers a retrofit solution for


the upgrade of existing foam-filled composite panel appli- cations and delivers either 60 or 120 minute fire protec- tion. The Promat Promaclad™


system offers an extremely


reliable solution to this problem for wall constructions up to 10 metres in height. It can be installed over the existing panels with minimal disruption and adds an extra fire-


resistant layer, which ensures that the panels are kept well below the auto-ignition temperature of the core material. It also represents a very cost-effective and envi- ronmentally positive alternative as the original panels are left in place and do not need to be disposed of.

Superior wireless security for smaller premises Ricochet, the wireless mesh network technology from leading security product ma- nufacturer Texecom Ltd., is more reliable, easier to in-


stall and more adaptable than any comparable system. The new Premier 24 Ricochet Kit provides in one package all the components necessary for a superior wireless-enabled security system for smaller commercial and premium residential projects. The Ricochet technology enables devices to communicate not only directly with the control panel, but also to route their communications through any other nearby Ricochet devices. This means that not only is the range of the system greatly extended, but the signal strength is kept to an optimum level by automatically using the strongest signal path. The system will even ‘self-heal’ if a particular signal route becomes weak or blocked, rerouting the communication channel through other devices to bypass the interference.
