A complex and sensitive re-roofing project in Surrey is amongst the first to use the Canterbury handmade clay tile range from Marley Eternit, which was re-introduced to the market to help contractors achieve a genuine handmade finish when creating traditional clay roofs. Built in 1928, the original handmade tiles were still on the roof and in need of replacement. Antique-

Break through innovation has combined with a traditional aesthetic to meet the needs of UK architects and specifiers with the launch of the Lincoln clay pantile from Marley Eternit. Lincoln features a classic s-curve profile and thin leading edge, while also benefitting from a unique design making it easier and faster to install than traditional pantiles. The Lincoln
pantile was developed following extensive research by Marley Eternit, which showed the need for a traditional clay pantile that could be installed without the need for specialist roofing skills.

Seminar exposes industry knowledge gap
A survey following a series of in-depth presentations at the recent Housebuilders’ Fire Protection Seminar – hosted by SIG plc – has revealed that there may be a knowledge gap among housebuilders regarding the correct specification and installation of fire-stopping measures. The event saw SIG joined by the Children’s Burns Trust, the Chief Fire Officers Association and the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) to speak about the threat of fire in residential buildings. The topics covered included fire protection best practice and looking at the consequences of non-compliance. Paul Gordon, managing director of SIG Distribution asked the audience whether they believed their projects had appropriate fire-stopping, repeating the question once the event concluded. The number of attendees that agreed shifted from 72 per cent at the beginning to just 40 per cent at the end, showing the current knowledge gap.
