Sun Control system enhances development
Set in a 40mm x 60mm frame and constructed using extruded aluminium profiles, the individual shutters are connected to each other to create either V or W folding elements. The advanced motorised mechanism allows the shutters to fold completely flat when they are closed. The shutter was also supplied with an infill of laser-cut aluminium sheet, providing the necessary stability and strength.

Royal Military Academy given luxury finish
The former Royal Military Academy overlooking Woolwich Common finds a new place in history with its stunning restoration, featuring Kingspan OPTIM-R Flooring System. The Grade II* listed building is being lovingly renovated by Durkan to create prestigious, high specification houses and
apartments. Durkan commented: “We chose the Kingspan OPTIM-R Flooring System to allow us to make the most of the available space. The original beam and block flooring limited our ability to dig down. Installing the Kingspan OPTIM-R Flooring System in a 30mm thickness allowed us to maintain existing threshold levels whilst also achieving excellent thermal performance.”

When working on heritage or listed buildings, the original Conservation Rooflight® has the most authentic design.

length. For more information on Conservation Rooflights®, contact the company directly or visit the website. #GOLARGEdiscreetly

The A. Proctor Group, has developed a system, which provides architects, developers and contractors with exceptional levels of performance in cavity wall solutions. The key drivers in both regulation, and targets on energy efficiency in buildings, have brought the design of airtight buildings to the
forefront of the agenda. The use of Wraptite tape installed in conjunction with insulation boards offers the perfect partnership in cavity wall systems, and stops unnecessary air leakage. Wraptite Tape is not only an effective airtight barrier, but its high vapour permeability allows any water vapour to escape the wall construction efficiently thereby avoiding any interstitial condensation problems.
