EJOT innovates to support UK’s higher soffi t insulation standards
EJOT UK’s new DDS-Z fastener range holds the key to installing much greater depths of soffi t liners with the smallest embedment depth, to help architects and clients to dramatically improve the thermal, acoustic and fi re insulation standards in their buildings. This range of high quality self-tapping fasteners is designed specifi cally for the attachment of ceiling insulation and acoustic boards to concrete soffi ts, where the goal is to bring uninsulated fl oor structures up to the thermal requirements of the latest Building Regulations and beyond. It is an increasingly popular trend amongst the designers, owners or managers of buildings that feature car parking below ground or at ground level with residential or commercial space above – hence the need for noise reduction measures, in particular. Soffi t liners have long been seen as an effective solution but the increasingly high standards now being sought here in the UK has given rise to the use of much greater depths of mineral fi bre insulation. As this requires signifi cantly longer fasteners to drive through the multiple layers of insulation and anchor effectively into the concrete substrate with a minimal embedment depth, EJOT UK has responded with the DDS-Z range.

Elements_DPR.indd 1 SterlingOSB Zero is the answer to green
Speed and effi ciency favour off-site housebuilding; off-site favours timber frame; and timber frame favours West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero. The result is less reliance on traditional site-based trades and a re-shaping of the housebuilding sector. In a recent House of Commons research briefi ng, it was estimated that 340,000 new
homes would need to be supplied every year to meet demand. Offsite timber frame construction could be the solution for housebuilders and using West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero is just the ticket in terms of green, speed and cost when considering essential board materials.
