Sika Sarnafil launches BRE certified thermal details
Thermal Details, available to download via its online Sustainability Hub and from the Certified Thermal Details and Products scheme website. The Certified Thermal Details and Products scheme, run by world-leading building science centre BRE, gives thermal junction details an independent third party assessment, assuring users of the ‘as designed’ thermal performance. Sika Sarnafil has been working with BRE for the past year to become one of the first flat roofing manufac- turers to have its thermal details certified. Since the introduction of the revised
I
Part L building regulations, which deal with energy efficiency requirements, architects and specifiers are now actively
n a move to help specifiers make buildings more sustainable, Sika Sarnafil is proud to announce the launch of its BRE Certified
Sarnafil thermal details assessed under the new scheme will perform as described, as well as being of a very high quality. Becoming part of the Certified Thermal
encouraged to use details with thermal values attached, otherwise they may have to pay a penalty elsewhere. Easily accessible and straightforward to
use, all Sika Sarnafil’s thermal details have been redrawn and modernised with values that tie in with the requirements for Part L. The specifier can be confident that all Sika
Details scheme is part of Sika Sarnafil’s ongoing commitment to promoting positive, sustainable change in the industry, as Sika Sarnafil’s Martin Bidewell, technical services manager for Single Ply Roofing, explains: “Recent research has shown that thermal bridging can be responsible for up to 30 per cent of a dwelling's heat loss, which is really significant.” “Independent certification helps to address
the problem of this performance gap – enabling us to build better buildings with superior thermal performance, which in turn are better for the environment.”

Powdertech Corby has made a significant investment in its metal finishing facility by installing a £500K chrome-free pre-treatment line for aluminium and galvanized steel. The new plant will be one of the most up-to-date facilities in the UK, offering fully automated multi-metal pre-treatments. It is operational ahead of the EU REACH legal requirement to end chrome-based processes by September 2017. Using chrome in pre-treatment processes for powder coating is long established but chrome has been identified as a carcinogen. Approximately half of the large architectural plants in Europe now have chrome-free production lines. The chrome-free chemical process has been seven years in development and testing and has been benchmarked against existing technology. Installation of the new plant at Powdertech's Corby base was carried out over the Christmas break in order to minimise disruption to clients. Aside from the obvious health and environmental benefits of eliminating a carcinogen, chrome-free brings important benefits to powder coating systems. Chrome- free technologies pass 3000 salt spray testing; three times that specified in British Standards.
