APPOINTMENTS & NEWS BUILDING FABRIC & EXTERIORS The impact on wood-using industries


The popular website www.usewoodwisely.co.uk answers the demand for easily-digestible and understandable information on the contentious issue of UK power stations burning wood to generate electricity. Hosted by Norbord, a leader in panel products, the site explains the intricacies of the argument which has seen industry confront government over the issue of subsidies provided to biomass power plants amongst other related topics. Government


policy has created a market distortion, resulting in increased wood costs. Norbord continues to campaign for the best use of wood supplies via the Use Wood Wisely campaign.

Ancon has won a 2018 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category, for the successful introduction and on-going development of its advanced composite, low thermal conductivity, Teplo wall tie range. This is the third time that Ancon has been honoured in this prestigious award scheme. Teplo wall ties are manufactured from continuous basalt fibres set in a resin matrix; a fibre-reinforced polymer that is 70 times more thermally efficient than steel. Teplo wall tie range includes Teplo-L


suitable for surface-fixing in timber frame construction, the Teplo-BF with moulded safety ends that improve build ability, and the Teplo-BFR which can be resin-bonded in existing walls for retrofit applications.
