A StoSilent Distance acoustic system from Sto has been used to create a balanced and practical acoustic environment for a major London landmark building. Bracken House was the first in England, and the second post-war building, to receive listed status. The premises have
recently been extensively refurbished, while preserving the original style and character. This involved the installation of the StoSilent Distance acoustic system in the atrium area, to create an environment that functions efficiently from an acoustic perspective, while also blending seamlessly with the area’s new, updated appearance.

www.sto.co.uk Savings with tapered roof insulation
A new white paper from Kingspan Insulation has highlighted that tapered roof insulation systems, which combine flat roof insulation and drainage in a single product, can achieve considerable savings when compared with other common methods for creating a fall on a flat roof. The report shows the tapered insulation systems require no drying time, can be as
little as around 3 per cent the weight of screed to fall systems and deliver cost savings of as much as £58 per m2
(43 per cent) on the
roof build-up above the deck. To read more about the benefits of tapered roof insulation, download the Flat Roof Drainage white paper.
