50 BUILDING FABRIC First fix 11 windows in just 23 minutes
Timber frame and SIPs panel manufactur- ers can speed up the installation of windows and doors by using the Sidey Kitfix system. “With the Sidey Kitfix System, windows and doors can be accurately fitted at the factory stage,” says Steve Hardy, Managing Director of
fenestration and offsite construction specialists Sidey Solutions. “It’s quick too – 11 windows can be first fixed in 23 minutes. They are installed when the walls are horizontal in the factory and the innovative Kitfix brackets are twist fitted to the window or door frame. Air tightness, thermal and acoustic seals can also be included at this stage.”

TeknosPro injects new life into farmhouse An 18th
Century farmhouse based in Chobham,
Surrey, has enjoyed a living room space and kitchen revamp with TeknosPro from Teknos. TeknosPro 5 was used for the living room ceiling and walls; it is designed for dry indoor spaces and provides a
full-matt finish with a low side sheen. The existing paintwork had been used to bridge the gap between the wall and the ceiling. The kitchen cupboards needed a bit of TLC along with fresh coats of paint to the room’s ceiling and walls. Futura Aqua 3, a waterborne primer was used on the wooden doors and drawers followed by two coats of Futura Aqua 20, a waterborne paint with a semi-matt finish. Professional painter Nick Sammut commented: “I love working with TeknosPro products.”

What’s the difference between CaberWood MDF Pro and CaberWood MDF Trade? CaberWood MDF Pro is denser and ideal for intricate routing while CaberWood MDF Trade is a lighter MDF board, suitable for situations where lighter weight is a requirement. CaberWood MDF Trade is suitable for applications that require a lighter board – such as furniture, shop fitting, caravans and exhibitions. CaberWood MDF Pro is ideal for
routing thanks to its consistent density, high quality fibres and internal bond strength. This also makes for excellent screw and fastening holding. For more information, please visit the Norbordwebsite.
