Fixfast initiatives seek to raise standards in fastener specification
Fixfast, a leading manufacturer and supplier of fasteners, has launched two major initiatives to support the correct specification of fasteners for the building envelope. Architects and contractors can access a comprehensive technical support service providing guidance on project-specific fastener selection and testing. Complementing the new service, a highly-detailed Specification Guide can be downloaded by specifiers as useful reference material. Both initiatives have been introduced to encourage more consistent and improved specification of building envelope fasteners, and therefore enable the construction of better, safer, and longer- lasting buildings. Against a construction industry background of increased scrutiny on building product safety and quality, Ken Lynes, Managing Director of Fixfast, explains: “Our experience shows that fasteners can sometimes be overlooked. Although a small detail, it’s critical that the right fastener is used for the right building application. The consequences of a building or its sub-systems failing could be very serious.” The Fixfast Specification Guide for Building Envelope Fasteners can be downloaded at

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 4 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.
