insulation; heating, ventilation & services Ancon Thermal Breaks
Brick support systems from Ancon can now be supplied with thermal breaks to minimise heat loss through cold bridging, and improve the energy efficiency of a building. Thermal bridging occurs where the insulation layer is penetrated by a mate- rial with a relatively high thermal conductivity. Although heat loss through a stainless steel
support bracket is not significant – just 17W/mK compared to 50W/mK for carbon steel fixings – it should be considered as part of the overall thermal per- formance of the structure. Ancon Thermal Breaks work by inserting a material with a very low thermal conductivity between the brackets and the frame.

A new fan from Elta is helping pub, bar, club and restaurant owners to reduce energy costs while improving the air quality for customers. The SWHR180 is the latest in a new breed of fans, which not only address the importance of extracting stale air, but also employ heat recovery technology, which reduces the energy required to heat or cool a given space. The nature of these environments means that
ventilation is key. The challenges come from the number of people, which varies considerably depending on the time of day, and from the preparation, serving and consumption of food and drinks.

www.eltaselect.com Alumaflex® Insulation
Alumaflex® insulation has flexible properties, which make it suitable for all applications such as barn and loft conversions, pitched and flat roofs, as well as timber frame or masonry walls. The BBA-Certified product is a thin and efficient multi-foil insulation for use on walls and roofs. It has low emissivity facings, meaning that it deals with all three forms of heat transfer: radiation, convection, and conduction. Alumaflex® reflects heat back and away from the building, keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter. The product is designed to help reduce energy costs, save on space and meet the thermal requirements of Building Regulations. A definite way of achieving more of a sustainable building is to include full insulation, with minimal thermal bridging. It is a step towards reducing CO2
emissions, and keeping a balanced temperature in the building, lowering energy bills, as well
as increasing market value. While it is advisable to include insulation plans at the design stages of new builds, Alumaflex® is also the ideal choice for conversions, renovations and improvement. 01621 776252
