The BAL CPD seminar Specifying for Natural Stone allows architects complete confidence when specifying for any natural stone tiling project. The 45- minute seminar covers various types of stone and their characteristics; causes of problems associated with natural stone; avoidance of common installation problems and the impact of backgrounds and substrates on adhesive and grout specification. It shows the importance of optimum product specification and gives guidance on best practice, helping architects to specify with confidence.
Specifying for Natural Stone joins modules on problem solving with tiling solutions and specifying tiling works in leisure facilities and in heavily trafficked areas. All four seminars are approved by RIBA which requires chartered members to complete at least 35 hours of accredited CPD each year split between a core curriculum and other relevant subjects.
BAL’s training is acknowledged as setting industry standards and it continues to invest in maintaining unparalleled support services. Places can be booked at

he new Knauf Plasterboard range offers a wider choice of performance options from a smaller number of board types. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms, Moisture Panel comes in 15mm and 12.5mm thicknesses; Fire Panel can give 60 minutes’ fire resistance from a single 15mm layer and 120 minutes from two layers of 12.5mm boards.

Developed to meet Approved Document E in residential applications, 12.5mm Sound Panel gives a higher level of sound performance than standard wallboard with a minimum density of 10kg/m2 making it ideal for residential projects where a minimum weight of 10kg/m² is recommended. At 19mm thick, Plank provides an acoustic ‘mass’ layer for reducing sound transmission in party walls and separating floors. Performance Plus can be used in most partitions on a commercial project and meets every necessary standard. For example, a single 15mm layer either side of a 70mm Performer
partition gives H1 moisture resistance, 42dB(Rw) sound performance, severe duty and 60 minutes’ fire resistance without the need for metal flat plates in horizontal joints and deflection heads. Two layers of 15mm Soundshield Plus either side of a 70mm Performer can achieve a 55dB(Rw) sound performance, 120 minutes’ fire resistance and severe duty rating for impact.
