HOPPE’s enhanced
security handle HOPPE (UK) is excited to offer fabricators the most innovative handle on the market – developed to meet and exceed the latest PAS24 standard. Roger Benton, joint managing director of HOPPE (UK) explains: ”On top of the daily battle to produce the best possible product whilst remaining cost effective, fabricators now have to ensure that all of their newly manufactured PAS24 door sets comply with the revised PAS24 standard. At a time like this, more than ever, our customers rely on us to provide them with a solution and the brand new Enhanced Security Handle from HOPPE does just that. Not only does our latest handle satisfy the considerations for holding an SBD licence, but it has also been deliberately designed to be a visible deterrent. The new PAS 24 product incorporates three new innovative features. The new patent pending fixing bolt, quick-fit levers which effectively clamp the inner and outer backplate together and the specially designed profile edges on the outer face plate which all work together to ensure that repeatable consistent pass results are achieved.

Newand improved thin-filmPV
In April 2012 a new- look, up-dated version of ProSol TF - known as ProSol TF+ -will be available from Schueco UK Ltd. Designed as a BIPV product, ProSol TF+ is an advanced, higher- efficiency thin-filmPV module that produces a 30 percent increase in electrical output over conventional photovoltaic thin-film products. The
module's superior performance – typically 80Wp/sqm– is the result of a tandemcell structure that incorporates dual layers ofmicrocrystalline and amorphous silicon, together with a special laminate foil (PVB). Aswell as generating electricity, ProSol TF+ can act both as insulation and as solar shading, resulting in a significant reduction in the need for heating and air-conditioning. In appearance, the newProSol TF+ is also strikingly different thanks to its new, deep anthracite colouring and the fact that, in addition to a standard rectangle, themodules can, for the first time, be specified in a variety of alternative shapes including triangles, parallelograms and rhomboids. This greatly extends the system's design possibilities for architects. For more information visit
