BUILT ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGY Research by the National Institute for Health and Welfare indicates that exposure to indoor pollutants is linked to reduced life expectancy and disease. The study suggests that changes to the way UK homes are ventilated could reduce the overall burden of disease caused by indoor air pollution. Whole House Mechanical Ventilation Systems with Heat Recovery (MVHR) together with pollen and carbon particle filtration offer potential solutions to the problem and can create a healthy allergen free home environment. Contact Built Environment Technology for more information.

HÖRMANN When choosing an entrance door, style, security and insulation are the three things we all look out for. Hörmann’s steel ThermoPro range has it all. Rigid 46mm or 65mm-thick polyurethane-filled door leaves ensure excellent insulation values, while an aluminium frame with thermal break prevents any further heat loss. With five-point locking as standard, including conical swing and hinge bolts, the ThermoPro entrance door offers real peace of mind. A wide variety of finishes, colours, glazing options and matching side elements can be chosen to complement design choices or create a stunning visual statement.
