systems able to ‘learn’ habits and trends in user behaviour. This is likely to become so advanced in the next couple of years that connected systems will soon be able to recognise faces, learn regular movements and adapt notifications to alert users of changes in normal activity.
ADDED VALUE
Not only can installing home security systems make a property more desirable to the buyer, it can also increase the value of the build. Homes that come readily equipped will grant a higher asking price compared to other homes in the area that don’t have such additions. It’s one thing considering traditional security systems like CCTV, but going above and beyond to consider smart technology that provides homeowners with a choice as to how they want to run their home will dramatically increase the desirability of the build.
Having comprehensive security systems in place will also attract house buyers that are looking for low insurance premiums, as home insurance companies look fondly on properties that are suitably secured.

enquiries@aico.co.uk. Easy-to-brand site hoarding
In today’s brand-heavy world, contractors use site hoardings as advertising or branding billboards to project the best possible public image; Norbord’s SterlingOSB SiteCoat has been designed for this specific application. “Bare” SterlingOSB has long been the preferred
material for hoarding. Now, Norbord offers SterlingOSB SiteCoat which is factory-coated; the surface is filled, smoothed and primed on one side to make it ready for painting or applying graphics. The primer comes in a choice of colours, and adds a smarter and more professional finish to building sites. SterlingOSB SiteCoat, is made from square-edged, moisture resistant SterlingOSB3 with a non-solvent coating applied.
