Ancon offering enhanced non-combustible balcony connector range
Ancon is leading the way in developing solutions to meet the Government’s tough new fire safety requirements for buildings, with the launch of an upgraded range of non-combustible insulated balcony connectors. The development follows news that the existing 18 metres height limit for combustible materials in high rise multi-occupancy buildings is to be further reduced to 11 metres, extending the scope of the regulations to buildings over four-storeys and affecting the vast majority of new flats, hospitals, residential care premises and student accommoda- tion. This has again increased the focus on fire safety with contractors and developers looking to future-proof their buildings. Ancon’s insulated balcony connectors have been re-engineered and now feature non-combustible mineral wool insulation and improved fire-rated thermal pads to maintain their impressive thermal insulation properties and provide the required A1/A2 reaction to fire rating.

tech@ancon.co.uk Mapei cements a tough bond with Mapeproof FBT M
apeproof FBT by Mapei is a pre-applied synthetic waterproofing membrane with a non-woven fabric
backing applied in full adhesion to protect structures below ground level. It is able to withstand up to 7 bars of pressure, and provides Radon and Methane protection. Mapeproof FBT is applied underneath
foundation slabs and against diaphragm, pile walls, sheet piling and other permanent retaining structures. The waterproofing system is suitable for a
range of applications including basements, garages, car parks, swimming pools, basins, storage tanks, underpasses and underground areas in general. The fully-bonded waterproof sheet
membrane system incorporates two Mapei adhesive tapes: Mapeproof FBT Tape, used to bond joints between the upper-facing side of adjacent membranes in the system, and Mapeproof SA Tape, for bonding joints between the lower-facing sides of adjacent membranes. With extreme flexibility, Mapeproof FBT is
easy to install. The waterproofing membrane is cold-applied (between +5°C and +35°C), thus no heat or naked flames are required on site. Positioned before placing the steel reinforcement and pouring of the concrete,

joints can be bonded on horizontal or vertical surfaces and shaped to follow the geometry of the substrate, ensuring a longstanding tough bond; due to its bond, Mapeproof FBT prevents water from migrating laterally between the foundation structure and the membrane, once concrete has been poured. It does not require a protective layer. The certified Mapeproof FBT waterproofing system also consists of two double-sided
adhesive tapes. Mapeproof Fix Tape is used to hold the waterproofing membrane in place during installation. Meanwhile, Mapeproof BA Tape, a waterproof synthetic tape, is used for treating fillet joints between horizontal and vertical surfaces, as well as those between adjacent vertical surfaces.
