www.cromar.uk.com Door closer enhances high-rise fire safety
British designed and manufactured, Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers from Samuel Heath are gaining increasing popularity for use on fire doors in high-rise flats and apartments. The door closers carry the CE mark and have been independently tested and proved to meet the requirements for one hour and half-hour fire doors under BS EN 1634-1. Unlike other jamb-mounted devices, Powermatic door closers facilitate a door’s compliance with Approved Document M, neither do they have to be removed from the door to be adjusted. Powermatic is ideal for restricted door reveals and, thanks to the fact that it is totally concealed when the door is closed, helps retain the aesthetics of interiors and create a less institutionalised, more homely feel. Concealment also reduces the risk of the door closer being damaged through vandalism, misuse or tampering, which could render a fire door useless. It also means less maintenance call-outs and continued fire safety.

Award-winning home features CUPA PIZARRAS The dramatic boomerang-shaped roof at an award-winning country house in Stirlingshire has been created using 900m2 of CUPA PIZARRAS’ Heavy 3 roofing slate. Architecturally impressive, the roof plays a dominant role in the design of this contemporary Scottish home, which in fact won the Individual New Build or
Small Development category at The Herald Property Awards for Scotland. Providing a first-class defence against the elements, this warm roof construction also introduces rooflights and dormers, maximising space and light – both design priorities for the homeowners.

www.cupapizarras.com/uk Sustainable House benefits from Copper Rainwater System I
f you are wanting a natural looking and eco-friendly rainwater system then Copper gutters and down pipes from the Yeoman
Rainguard range, as chosen by the owners of a charming detached residence in North Yorkshire, are the solution. With solar panels already in place the propri-
etors were keen to extend their sustainable ideas to a new rainwater system choosing a copper product for its natural attributes. Yeoman Rainguard 125 x 70mm copper half
round gutters along with 80mm dia. downpipes were expertly fitted to the property by local
contractor Robertson Building & Roofing Ltd of York. Over time the bright finish will darken
through natural oxidisation to, eventually, a beautiful green patina. This attractive finish looks perfect against natural stone, timber and red brick facades. The finish is not only pleasing to the eye but
gives copper gutters and downpipes their own self-manufactured defence to corrosion, meaning a low maintenance lifecycle of over 50 years. A copper rainwater system is also a perfect
choice for those, as in this case, wanting to harvest rainwater because it is a natural biocide which prevents the build-up of algae. “We are very happy with what Yeoman
Rainguard have supplied us and look forward to the system giving us many years of maintenance free service.” commented the house owner.
