BUILDING FABRIC & EXTERIORS Matching system gives new build contemporary finish
Honeybourne Homes is a building contractor who specialises in creating new bespoke homes in both contemporary and traditional styles. Many of their homes are built and/or refurbished to a very high standard. The architect specified that aluminium should be used for the rainwater and roofline system and ARP provided samples of products and colour swatches for the architect to inspect and approve. By choosing aluminium over plastic it gave the specifier access to a massive range of polyester powder coating colours which helped to emphasise the architectural elements of the building. The basalt grey colour used in this property contrasted with the pearly white render perfectly and gave a finished contemporary look that is in keeping with the rest of the property. The products specified for the rainwater system were Sentinel half round gutter and Colonnade circular downpipes. For the roofline, ARP’s Trueline bespoke fascia and soffit were specified, made to measure to the exact dimensions of the building and polyester powder coated within our in-house PPC facility to the basalt grey RAL 7012 as specified by the architect. Aluminium is an ideal material for adding architectural finishes to buildings, as it is strong, can be easily formed into a variety of profiles and helps to extend a buildings serviceable life. Aluminium is a low maintenance, non-corrosive, non-combustible, fully recyclable, and expected to last in excess of 60 years.

www.arp-ltd.com Super fuel cell heat and power boiler is launched
Viessmann has announced the launch of its new Vitovalor PT2 fuel cell micro combined heat and power (mCHP) boiler. Over 2,000 Vitovalor units were installed in Europe last year, allowing households to generate their own electricity without needing solar panels. Vitovalor can generate enough electricity to cover the basic demands of an average household, save up to 40 per cent of household energy consumption and reduce CO2
separate heat and power generation. It has a footprint of just 0.72m2
emissions by up to 30 per cent compared to and the previous model has
been comfortably installed in utility rooms, porches and roof spaces. The latest design includes a 220-litre integrated stainless steel hot water cylinder meaning many properties can free up airing cupboard space. Under new, stricter EU energy labelling, which comes into force in October 2019, Vitovalor PT2 will have the highest possible Energy-related Product (ErP) rating of A+++. This corresponds to an annual seasonal efficiency of up to 192 per cent, making it a serious alternative to heat pump systems. Not only is the Vitovalor easier than a heat pump to add to an existing heating system, it has a 40,000 kWh heat load demand, double that of an air source heat pump, and generates electricity as well as
heat.The Vitovalor PT2 is also equipped with Viessmann’s brand new E3 control platform, which provides faster and more reliable communications.
