118 LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS


Specifying commercial cladding


James Burton, Sales Manager at specialist coating manufacturer Bradite, advises what to consider when refurbishing commercial and industrial cladding. Cladding is mostly coated in the production process which gives it a life of approximately 20 years before it starts to


discolour. Both flexible and adaptable, it can be over-painted at any point during its lifetime, the process normally being relatively quick with minimal disruption. Up until the corrosion and failure of the steel substrate itself, Bradite’s Cladit can be successfully used to upgrade the cladding and extend its life by up to 10 years.

Covent Garden as we all know is a busy and successful shopping and entertainment area. The technical services team required an outdoor power supply that would not impact on the Grade 1 listed site and its important aesthetics. Pop Up Power Supplies delivered 6 retractable units for this particular site. The 450kg units are successfully buried beneath the beautifully cobbled piazza. When required they are raised by a simple removable turning handle. They do not have a


negative impact on the historical surroundings as each unit has a lid created from the same cobbled stone as the rest of the piazza.

Bin blazes are hot topic


Architects designing in waste and recycling facilities for social housing schemes must ensure wheeled bin stations are 6m or more from property to comply with CFPA guidance. Whether the brief is a redevelopment or new build, Fire Risk Assessors working


for social landlords will expect a minimum distance between bins and residential property. The regularity of fires caused by wheeled bin fires spreading to domestic property makes this a hot topic. metroSTOR’s range of fire-resistant bin stores and expert advice can help specifiers.
