Arch Timber Protection is back at school, this time protecting the children and staff at the new-build Highfields and Penn Fields School, in Penn in Wolverhampton. The timber cladding on the outside of the school has been treated with NON-COM Exterior fire retardant, which defends the new campus against fire, without affecting the look and strength of the wood. The cladding uses 80m3

Glasen interior film from David Clouting Ltd was used to provide a stunning finish for the table tops at one of London’s most prestigious and iconic venues – the Met Bar.

in looks and surface performance. Glasen in a dark gold, coconut design was spec- ified for the Met Bar project and laminated on to the back of table top specification glass by leading glass fabricator WGL. Glasen is certified to act as a safety film, achieving European EN12600: 2003-04 Classification.

Radio City has installed 240 Kingspan Renewables solar thermal vacuum tubes to meet its extensive hot water needs, while becoming a model of sustainability in the local town of Kilbirnie, Ayrshire. The 25m2 installation of HP200 Thermomax solar thermal tubes was part of a large retrofit project to cut carbon emissions and running costs, which also included fitting solar PV panels to service the building’s elec- tricity. Thermomax tubes were specified to effectively
feed into a pre-heat system to help meet up to 70 per cent of the annual hot water needs of the multi-use building. The solar thermal installation is expected to con- tribute 12.98MWh to the building’s hot water system annually and help Radio City avoid more than 3,500kg of carbon emissions each year.
