STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS 45 Enhanced thermal performance
The superior quality of Reflectashield® TF 0.81 breather membrane from the A. Proctor Group has been installed to ensure a highly efficient thermal performance for a series of new housing schemes on Salisbury Plain set to accommodate service personnel relocating from Germany. Derek Gough, Senior Estimator
for Taylor Lane explains: “We use Reflectashield TF 0.81 on all of our projects and in our experience believe it to be one of the best membranes on the market. Installed on the external face of the timber frame, foil side face out, the use of Reflectashield TF 0.81 enabled us to achieve the required U-value whilst using the minimum amount of insulation.

Exciting new innovations from Simpson Strong-Tie
D
espite the unprecedented nature of 2020 the construction industry remains robust, and we’ve been working hard to
bring you exciting new innovations across our product ranges. In January our Connectors for Timber and
Masonry Construction catalogue introduced the new Gable Panel Connector, a high movement timber frame tie, decorative and heavy duty post bases and an adjustable mini hanger. Our mascot Rusty advised customers that building requirements only advocate the use of austenitic stainless steel or PVCu beads in UK external rendering applications, not galvanised.
In March we introduced our Premium
Fasteners range; Europe’s leading range of superior nails and screws, with structural options, including the new the SSH screw for use with connectors where high load capability is required, and a choice of superior stainless steel fasteners. The range also features our Quik Drive
collated fastening system, now available with a lifetime warranty, launched with a viral video game style feature on social media that saw almost 2 million views. In May we published our Connectors &
Fasteners for Cross Laminated Timber Construction catalogue featuring new structural angle brackets, hold downs, concealed beam hangers, and a timber frame Quik Drive solution. Autumn saw the release of our popular Building Safer Structures CPD webinar, followed by our Light Gauge Steel catalogue. Included in the range is the brand new LGSSC Splicing Clip, designed to connect the over–sail LGS studs to the primary structure, and the new RCKW Parapet Wall Bracket, designed to resist an over- turning moment at the base of exterior knee-walls and parapets.
Cavitray and Roof Abutment Ventilation
With an airflow rating of 25,000mm² per running metre, the Type RAV-FL Roof Abutment Ventilator from Cavity Trays of Yeovil opens like a book to permit direct fixing into a timber upstand battened off the wall.
When the Type RAV-FL is then closed, its higher section is secured directly to the wall and receives the flashing over-dressing from
the cavitray at higher level. The resultant detail satisfies ventilation and damp control measures demanded within the Building Regulations.

www.cavitytrays.com. Norbord helps create bespoke dream homes
Creator of beautiful dream homes, GMDL is a family-run architecture and construction company. Norbord products feature in most of GMDL’s projects. This impressive building features market-leading CaberDek which has a tough, waterproof and slip-resistant film. This
protects the panels for up to 42 days – from laying the flooring to fixing the roof when laid in accordance with fitting instructions using CaberFix Pro. The heavy-duty film protects against spilled paint and plaster and the effects of wet weather and muddy work boots. When peeled off, the film reveals a clean surface ready for further floor covering. SterlingOSB Zero OSB 3 was used for the walls, timber frame kit, roof and internal racking.
