EJOT launches next generation BA Plus through-bolt range
Fastening technology specialist EJOT has upgraded its range of ETA-approved through-bolts – also known as anchor bolts or wedge anchors – with the launch of its new BA Plus range of Option 1 anchors, suitable for both cracked and non-cracked concrete applications. The EJOT BA Plus range is a new generation of higher performing through-bolts which builds on the strengths of its established BA range to deliver additional benefits and new application potential. In addition to concrete, these torque-controlled expansion anchors are also suitable for installation in other hard base materials including natural stone. The design of BA Plus allows the required installation torque to be achieved with 30-50% fewer revolutions than previously, and new M8 and M10 through-bolts can now be used for anchoring in to concrete which is up to 20mm thinner. The risk of on- site errors is minimised with a setting depth clearly marked to the thread and anchor length letter coding marked on every bolt head. The BA Plus range is complemented by EJOT’s range of through-bolts for Option 7 non- cracked concrete applications, BA-C NC, which provides a class-leading anchor for many other applications.

www.ejot.co.uk Leviat launch new thermally efficient Ancon windpost
Leviat, world leader in connecting, fixing, lifting and anchoring technology for the construction industry, has launched a revolutionary new thermally efficient Ancon windpost designed to minimise thermal bridging in masonry cavity walls. The patented Thermal Windpost (TWP2) offers up to an impressive 70% reduction in thermal transmission through the span of the windpost. This guarantees it meets the BRE level for thermal performance provided in BR 443 as a minimum and offers opportunities for more stringent thermal specifications to be met. The Thermal Windpost features integral mineral fibre insulation to ensure continuity of insulation in the cavity, and its innovative design means the windpost sits level with the outside face of partial-fill insulation so it can be taped to further reduce thermal heat loss. This provides the benefit of eliminating time-consuming cutting of insulation to fit behind/around the windpost, increasing the overall speed and consistency of installation. Leviat’s Lisa Sherburne-Kilby, UK commercial operations director (Masonry) said: “The new thermally efficient Ancon Thermal Windpost TWP2 is a game changer and a fantastic addition to our range.”

www.ancon.co.uk/thermal-windpost Materials Matter, BIM Version 4: A decade of the most advanced BIM Brick files
Responding rapidly on the Government’s Construction Strategy published in May 2011, Michelmersh responded with its first range of clay product files and was the first brick manufacturer to introduce Building Information Modelling (BIM) files in the UK, years before the competition. A decade on and Michelmersh is now delighted to release BIM Version 4 (V4), its most advanced files yet. It is the only manufacturer to include Revit 2021 files to take advantage of the newest release capabilities, including its advanced rendering features, enabling customers to download the highest resolution brick walls on the market. BIM V4 is also offered in a 2018 Revit version to ensure designers and contractors using previous releases of the software can also continue to benefit from Michelmersh’s BIM files. It is also the first manufacturer to provide its files in seven different formats to grant true interoperability amongst the BIM world. Frank Hanna, Joint Chief Executive Officer of Michelmersh, proudly states: “Our latest upgrade epitomises the Group's drive for innovation and sustainability.” Watch new BIM animation ‘Materials Matter’ today:

Marley Alutec has contributed to the successful delivery of a stunning new build property – while restoring a developer’s faith in the aluminium eaves industry. Andy Heath, a Director at RHB Construction commented: “I was hesitant
to work with aluminium as a previous experience with another supplier hadn’t been a positive one. From the onset Marley Alutec took a hands-on approach to the project, getting up on the scaffolding to discuss the options and set a specification which was fit for purpose and, most importantly, installable with minimum fuss.”
