An £18m refurbishment of Newcastle College’s Parsons Tower will extend the usable life of the 60s block by around 40 years. Pre-weathered standing seam VMZINC® ANTHRA-ZINC® and QUARTZ- ZINC® facades and roof from VMZINC have given it a distinctive visual aesthetic and completely new face on the skyline. Being a dominant feature of the city landscape this was a key consideration, so the Red Box Design Group subtly extended the facade into the roofline using the two contrasting shades. Their spokesman commented, “The building has been transformed, and now stands as a physical beacon which further advertises the College‘s ambition."

www.housingmmonline.co.uk Aico launches new multi-sensor
Aico has launched the new Multi- Sensor Fire Alarm. The Multi-Sensor Ei2110e contains two sensor types, optical and heat. Between them they are capable of detecting all fire types, providing a total fire response. The Multi-Sensor fire alarm uses dual sen- sors to constantly monitor smoke and heat levels, sending and receiving information via its intelligent detection software. This sensor information alters the alarm’s sensitivity and trigger points, automatically providing the best response to all fire types and reduces potential false alarms. The Multi-Sensor Ei2110e can be sited any- where in a home that requires a smoke alarm – making it easier to specify.

EVO-STIK from Bostik has added to its range of foams with the launch of a Fire Retardant Gun Applied Expanding Foam Filler. Offering a more accurate and efficient application through the use of a gun, the foam can be used for gap filling and insulating to prevent the transmission of smoke. The B1 grade foam is ideal for filling large, irregular or awkward gaps between brickwork and cladding, as well as around ductwork. It can also be used to insulate and fill around door and window frames where a fire rating is necessary. It’s suitable for use on a wide variety of building substrates and offers excellent adhesion. Once cured it can be sanded and painted.
