High performance roof system The roof on an extensive five bedroom new build home in Pitlochry has been constructed in record time, thanks to Jabroof SlimFix structural insulated roof system from Vencel Resil, manufacturers of Jablite insulation. Jabroof SlimFix was chosen because the owners were looking for a high performance roof system that was quick and easy to construct, as well as one that could maximise the usable living space in the loft area. The Jabroof SlimFix roofing system was recommended by Reward Walls of Stranraer, the company which also provided a similar pre-insulated system for the construction of the walls.

All-in-one membrane Known as Breather Foil-FR, this technologically advanced aluminium bubble film insulation from YBS Insulation provides a wind tight, draught free, waterproof, yet vapour permeable material which helps achieve a particularly good U-value within the roof envelope. This innovative, fully tested, multi-layer aluminium bubble film (BDA Agrément Nos. 08-301/302/303) is designed for installation on sarking boards or board insulation either over or between rafters and will easily allow moisture to migrate out of the building whilst providing protection against the elements. Breather Foil-FR is both fire retardant and has a UV stability at least 3 times that of traditional breather membranes.

Major sports project rendered a success New world-class training facilities for Cardiff City FC and Cardiff Blues RFC have been built as part of a £10 million sports complex at the Vale Resort at Hensol near Cardiff. The Vale Pavilion is the centrepiece of the new facilities, and has been clad with the Kingspan Render Panel system from Kingspan Insulated Panels. It was crucial that such a high-profile building looked the part and this led to the specification of Kingspan Render Panel, which allowed cladding contractor Art Roofing to combine a high quality textured render finish with all the benefits of a composite panel system.
