Prefixed Noncom, non-combustible cavitrays and caviweep-vents are available from Cavity Trays of Yeovil – the longest-established cavity tray company in the UK. NonCom products are manufactured from approved A1 materials, and have the advantage of being robust and holding to shape.


They are difficult to damage and importantly, they will not ‘feed’ a fire. Tray products can also self-support, and may be used in external wall cavity construction with masonry or non- masonry inner skins.

Ecodek has unveiled its new non-combustible aluminium decking system, Adek, at this year’s Futurebuild, which was held at ExCel London at the beginning of March. This engineered lightweight decking has been specifically designed in response to changing building standards to be Class A2FL-s1 rated, which is now a legal requirement for any material used in the construction or refurbishment of high-rise buildings of 18m or above. This A2 certification means Adek lends itself to several applications, from balconies and terraces to walkways, in both commercial and domestic developments. Made from 100 per cent recycled aluminium, Adek is available in two profiles, 20mm and 30mm - which can span 600mm and 1.2m respectively - and with a point load of 4kN, both options are strong, durable and long lasting. The system is also extremely easy to install, with concealed face fixings and no need for clips, making it an ideal solution for both refurbishment projects with specific completion dates, and new builds. Its innovative design has resulted in a smooth surface which, together with an anti-slip coating, makes Adek safe and comfortable underfoot, even for bare feet, and the perfect choice for residential structures of any height.

2020 is a significant year for Freefoam Building Products, with the company marking 30 years of trading. In 1990 founding Managing Director Tony Walsh set up an extrusion plant in Cork, Ireland, with one co-extrusion line. With a vision to provide the growing home improvement market with high quality, long lasting, low maintenance PVC fascia and soffit, to replace traditional timber products, the business grew into a leading manufacturer in Ireland. Since those humble beginnings Freefoam has become a broad pan-European business, with manufacturing opera- tions in Ireland and the UK together with distribution in continental Europe. Tony Walsh, now Chairman, remarked: “This is an incredible milestone for any company. Freefoam has achieved this success through a combination of factors. First and foremost the hard work, passion, and exemplary commitment by our team members whose cooperative spirit throughout the company is at the heart of our business. The development and continued improvements to our product range and our innovation to create best in class building products that are guaran- teed to provide value and longevity to homeowners has also proved to be a winning formula. We have dedicated ourselves to 30 years of product innovation, manufacturing and business process improvements and efficiencies”.


Tony Walsh & Aidan Harte 01604 591110 www.freefoam.com Innovative LIQUIROOF insulation boardsavailable exclusively from SIG


To support their range of liquid waterproofing products, SIG Design & Technology are working with EAP to exclusively supply their innovative LIQUIROOF insulation boards. This partnership combines their expertise on both the insulation and waterproofing under one package. LIQUIROOF interlocking PIR boards deliver a super-flat surface ideal for liquid and flat roofing systems. Liquid waterproofing coatings are typically between 1.25 to 2mm thick meaning even the most minor imperfections in the substrate surface can create alignment issues and stress points on the outer surface coating. LIQUIROOF fully supported PIR insulation boards interlock on all four sides, from top to bottom, to create a strong and solid surface with no raised edges, misalignment or gaps. Faced with a lightweight 8mm OSB 3 panel on the topside, LIQUIROOF panels are designed for use on old or new boarded structures. The polyurethane rigid foam insulation core provides maximum insulation with minimum panel thickness. The serrated edges on the boards slot together easily to cover large uneven surfaces, and with minimised alignment time are quick to install.
