Weatherboard takes care of it A new £4m care home in Gosport has benefited fromMarley Eternit’s Cedral Weatherboard.

Marley Eternit’s Cedral Weatherboard has a subtly textured surface that creates the visual appeal of timber, but without the ongoing maintenance issues. It is available in 22 factory applied solid colours plus six woodstains and can be produced in any factory approved BS colour. Cedral Weatherboard was used to create a decorative rainscreen cladding at various locations around the building butted together to give the impression of tongue and grooved jointing.

Existing floor coverings, old adhesives and smoothing compounds were mechanically removed, at Birminghams Heartland Hospital followed by new sub-floor preparation using Instarmacs Ultra Floor DPM IT two coat, Prime IT N and Level IT SmoothFlow. DPM IT two coat is a solvent free, two-part epoxy resin system. The product cures to provide a waterproof surface membrane that allows fast installation of cement- based surfaces, thus reducing waiting time and costs. In this application, Ultra Floor’s DPM IT A was also used providing much needed versatility as this fast curing additive reduces curing times to only 3 hours, allowing the substrate to become waterproof within a single day!

PUBLIC SECTOR REVIEW
Kingsway Hospital in Derby utilised Durapipe PLX pipework to ensure the emergency fuel generators can be operated in case of a power failure. Close-fit Secondary containment PLX pipework in sizes 32mm # 40mm was connected to the oil storage tank using transition couplers, the pipework was then installed in a trench underground before surfacing in the plant room where it was connected to the boilers using more transition couplers. Durapipe PLX was selected due to its high performance properties, the majority of the pipework was installed within a trench under an access road so it was essential that there was no fuel leaking into the atmosphere Click here to request literature
