www.jackon-insulation.com Expert home adaptation
The latest report on delivery of home adaptation provision maintains ‘the overarching aim’ is for it to be accessible and timely. But a growing number of older people will either have to, or will choose, to pay for essential alterations themselves: they want to stay in their home, and either do not qualify for grant funding, or want something more aspirational in design. Closomat offers a unique package that helps self funders ensure professional execution of a bathroom adaptation, and its ongoing, long-term performance. Closomat manufactures the brand leader in shower (wash & dry toilets). It also supplies a raft of additional bathroom fixtures that enable people to continue to live independently, and more safely, in their home. Innovatively, the company offers a complete project management service, covering survey to install and commissioning. Further, once the assistive technology is installed, Closomat can provide ongoing service & maintenance as required. Closomat offers a comprehensive range of equipment to achieve an accessible WC/bathroom/ wetroom. Its Palma Vita is the biggest-selling shower toilet on the market, and is the only one that can be retrospectively accessorised to accommodate changing needs. Closomat’s latest model, the Asana, claims to be the ultimate in intimate hygiene.

Nordic Copper skyline crowns the new Ram Quarter
its rooftop cladding of Nordic Green Living 1 pre-patinated copper, reflecting the site’s industrial heritage. The site was formerly home to the Young’s
T
brewery and its regeneration has encompassed the restoration of historic buildings alongside the construction of stunning new-build apartments. Greenland Group UK, the developer of Ram Quarter, was keen that the site’s material specification should help to reflect the history of the site and deliver high-quality design and long-term durability. EPR Architects, the appointed architectural
practice for the scheme, was tasked with ensuring that the development design complemented both the industrial character of the site and its transformation into a residential neighbourhood. Inspired by old copper brewing vessels, the
architects decided to clad the upper two floors of the tallest residential buildings in Nordic Green Living 1 copper. Adjacent to the old brewery complex, a playful vertical expression was added to one of the new buildings – a nod

he new Ram Quarter mixed-use development at the heart of the London Borough of Wandsworth is highlighted by
to the industrial vats that were once housed on the site – raised from the ground, with softer rounded corners and vertically-ribbed profiled Nordic Green copper cladding. In addition to Nordic Green, extensive Nordic Blue and Nordic Turquoise ranges have been developed. All these surfaces form an integral part of the copper and are not coatings or paint, and ongoing changes will continue over time depending on the local environment. As well as the solid patina colours, ‘living’ surfaces provide various intensities of patina flecks revealing some of the dark oxidised background material. Other Nordic Copper ranges from Aurubis include Nordic Standard ‘mill finish’ and Nordic Brown pre-oxidised copper, offering lighter or darker shades of brown determined by the thickness of the oxide layer. A wide choice of Nordic Decor mechanically applied surface treatments is also available. Nordic Copper alloys include Nordic Brass – which can also be supplied pre-weathered – Nordic Bronze and the innovative Nordic Royal, an alloy of copper with aluminium and zinc, enjoying a rich golden through-colour which remains very stable.
