www.schueco.co.uk Beast from the East may linger longer
Following the “Beast from the East”, not only are hundreds of contractors struggling to make up for lost time on site, but developers are also faced with building on land where water tables remain at unprecedented levels and specifiers must take into consideration the long term
effects of moisture before. Excessive moisture may cause vinyl floor coverings to blister and plasticiser migration may be encouraged. tremco illbruck have made substantial investment in recent years to bring new generation, water based moisture vapour suppressants to the market that set new standards in sustainability.

Flowcrete UK has expanded its BIM (Building Information Modelling) Content Library to encompass a wide selection of resin floors, screeds, damp proof membranes and underfloor heating systems – everything an architect needs to create an accurate 3D representation of a high-performance floor area. The resin flooring manufacturer is committed to providing the resources required by today’s high-tech construction industry professionals, which are increasingly embracing digital building modelling as a day-to-day practise. Available from the NBS National BIM Library, Flowcrete UK’s new BIM Content allows its flooring systems to be easily incorporated into a 3D building model and its associated component database. The BIM objects are available in a variety of formats, including Autodesk Revit, IFC, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks and AECOsim, so the designer can easily pick and choose the product in the preferred format. Flowcrete UK’s Managing Director, Kevin Potter, said: “BIM has revolutionised the construction industry, helping to provide more consistent, accurate project documentation and a more transparent project delivery process.”

Teknos coatings defy the elements
Teknos Industry coatings were used by Paling Joiners to protect the external joinery, including windows and door sets, of the RNLI boat stations in St Davids, Swanage, Scarborough, Llandudno and Bridlington. Accoya®
wood, a modified timber in which a process called acetyla-
tion enables it to resist rot and defy the elements, was selected as the material of choice for this project. With its outstanding durability and dimensional stability, it offers a 50-year above ground and 25-year in ground/freshwater guarantee.
