Services_PR.indd 1 Choosing a fl ooring contractor LAs and housing offi cers need advice
T e challenges facing local authorities and housing offi cers have never been more real as they seek to tackle societal, fuel poverty and climate-related issues. An ageing housing stock and a growing population that must be provided with aff ordable housing are key concerns. Frequently, it is architects who can provide the solutions needed. Architects bring the breadth of experience and knowledge necessary to create homes that are fi t for the future. Local authorities can maximise their assets and achieve cost eff ective solutions through coherent and eff ective development strategies. Visit West Fraser’s website for more information.

Choosing the right fl ooring contractor is a critical decision. From the quality and range of products to buying power, stock levels, compliance, environmental impact, expertise and service levels, the right fl ooring solutions go deeper than price alone. In short, while cost is always a consideration, it should not be the sole determining factor. T e goal should be to fi nd a supplier who off ers the right balance of quality, service, and value, ensuring that the fl ooring solution meets both current needs and future expectations. As well as fl ooring, Designer Contracts provides blinds and curtains, furniture and lighting.

Edit.indd 1
EnviroVent has upgraded its renowned Filterless Infi nity Extractor fan with an exciting new Datalogger function, plus variable speed control and a market-leading eight year warranty, as standard. T e new Datalogger innovation will help social landlords to be able to better monitor fans in residents’ homes, their running conditions, energy usage and operational life, as well as allowing them to identify any potential issues. It also allows social landlords to view the time the unit has spent in trickle, boost and increased humidity modes, as well as monitor the amount of energy used. Data can be viewed from the past 30 days or 12 months, to enable social housing providers to make short or long-term comparisons. T e Datalogger is now standard within EnviroVent’s Filterless Infi nity fan and will be covered under its eight-year extended warranty. T is means the fan is covered for any disrepair or product failure issues within that period. It also provides clarity on the running costs and energy usage associated with the fan. T e ventilation fan, which is part of EnviroVent’s fi lterless range, now also off ers installers the ability to vary the speed of the fan to allow greater control and to reach increased airfl ows. T e Filterless Infi nity Extractor Fan was designed and built specifi cally for the social housing market. It is suitable for use in any domestic bathroom, kitchen or utility room and can be wall, ceiling, window or duct mounted to meet Part F of Building Regulations. T e fan has low energy consumption and is powered by an Ultra Low Watt DC motor, off ering low maintenance and whisper quiet running.

Services_DPR.indd 1
Residents in 68 homes in Rugby will benefi t from more energy effi ciency thanks to the installation of the Stomix external wall insulation system. To enhance energy effi ciency and make the homes cheaper to heat, the StxT erm Robust system was specifi ed. Part of the Stomix range, StxT erm Robust is an EPS-based external wall insulation system designed for social housing refurbishment. Ideal for low to medium rise housing, it prevents heat loss and eliminates thermal bridges. By insulating the outer leaf of each property, the entire structure becomes warm and dry, reducing the risk of condensation and associated mould growth. Installed by Green Homes Solutions, the system was fi nished with a through-coloured Stomix silicone render in cream. Replacing the existing pebbledash, the new render has enhanced the exterior of each home, and is designed to be weatherproof and vapour permeable, allowing the walls to breathe and so overcoming the problems associated with conventional renders such as interstitial condensation which can lead to mould growth and freeze thaw cracking. Unlike traditional sand/cement renders which require frequent over painting to maintain their appearance, a through-coloured Stomix render does not require over painting to maintain its weatherproof or aesthetic qualities. Please visit the Sto website for more information.
