JACKON helps developers meet the requirements of the new Part L regulations
V
isit JACKON’s stand (B510) at UK Construction Week and find out how the sustainable houses of the future will
be built. JACKON’s two building systems –
JACKODUR® Atlas and THERMOMUR® Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) – are revolutionising UK house construction. Tis technology is growing at a time when the Future Homes Standard is set to be a key feature of the construction industry going forward, underpinning the green development of the housebuilding market. JACKON’s building systems help developers
meet and surpass the requirements of all the latest regulations, including the recent changes to the Part L regulations, which have meant that from June this year, all new homes must produce 31% less CO2 emissions, compared to what was acceptable under the previous Part L regulations. Tis puts the responsibility for achieving improved energy performance on to the developers of new dwellings. By using THERMOMUR® ICF moulded
expanded polystyrene (EPS) to create the formwork and JACKODUR® ATLAS extruded polystyrene (XPS) to create an insulated floor slab, as well as JACKOBOARD® insulated tile backerboard for internal tiling in
bathrooms, wetrooms and other areas, developers can ensure that their projects are sustainable and energy-efficient. JACKON THERMOMUR® achieves a u-value
of 0.15 for walls with no added materials, and the JACKODUR® ATLAS system can be designed to achieve 0.11. ICF integrates insulation materials into the concrete formwork, totally revolutionising the way a house is constructed. As well as being easier and quicker to build, an ICF house provides considerable advantages during the life
of a building. Te benefits include: dramatically improved insulation and air tightness leading to reduced expenditure on heating and cooling; excellent acoustic performance; fire resistance; enhanced resilience to flood, extreme weather and seismic activity; rot and vermin resistance; versatility with regard to remodelling; minimal maintenance requirement; mortgage, insurance and planning acceptance.
