K. A traditional build would K; a bigger cavity with


more insulation which would impact on room size. Furthermore, a timber frame building is more economic to run due to its ability to heat up quickly and retain that heat for longer. To comply with Building Regulations, a Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) rating must be submitted, alongside the predicted Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for new dwellings prior to work commencing. Thermal bridging and air tightness are key indicators in achieving an SAP rating. Timber frame construction can exceed the national standards in both instances; for example, some manufacturers can achieve an average Y-value of 5 per cent, a 3 per cent improvement on the national standard. The lower the Y-value, the less heat is lost from the structure. Airtightness can be designed into the building fabric helping to save energy and reduce household bills across the lifetime of the property.

Helifix non-disruptive and concealed masonry repair systems have been installed on the large pump house adjacent to the historic 850 feet long Thompson Graving Dock in Belfast, where Titanic and its sister ship Olympia were both


fitted out. Over 500 metres of stainless steel HeliBars were bonded into channelled-out mortar beds to stitch cracks in the masonry, which after re-pointing, were completely hidden from view. This major repair programme was undertaken by a Helifix-trained Approved Installer and covered by a Helifix 10 year insurance-backed warranty.

As part of a recently completed £1.5 million project to refurbish the historic Ross Fountain in Edinburgh, Winn Coales (Denso) Ltd supplied Densostrip™ and Densostrip Primer™ to provide a permanently watertight seal between precast concrete units. These precast units form the trenches which house the underground supply of services to the fountain. The year-long restoration project on the new


foundations and waterworks now enables the fountain to operate for the first time in years.
