Sto rainscreen cladding system streamlines construction at Blar Mor
A Sto rainscreen cladding system has provided an alternative construction method for a new housing development, generating time and cost effi ciencies. Located in Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, Blar Mor comprises 117 one-to-four-bedroom affordable homes, which have been built by TSL Contractors. The main contractor partnered with AFS (Scotland), a leading provider of external facade solutions, to deliver a durable cladding system for timber frame homes, removing the requirement for traditional construction. “Given the location of the development, TSL Contractors was seeking a new facade solution which would enable them to build the homes more effi ciently without compromising on quality,” explained Steve Avery, director of AFS. “Having used Sto’s products for numerous new-build projects, we recommended the StoVentec rainscreen cladding system.” Steve continued: “StoVentec is very quick and simple to install which made it ideal for Blar Mor and the inevitable wet weather conditions. The system has also provided a thermally-effi cient solution with facades that will be resistant to cracking and the elements, ensuring they retain their attractive appearance.”

Facades_DPR.indd 1 30/01/2024 10:29 New from Hörmann the ET500 series 3 – the optimal solution for collective garage doors
Hörmann UK have announced the introduction of their ET500 series 3 collective garage doors, providing low maintenance together with extremely smooth and safe operation. Designed as a non-protruding up-and- over door, the ET500 has been specifi cally developed for installations where collective garage doors open directly onto a pavement as the door leaf only swings out by 30 mm. The door has been designed for high use areas and includes wear-free counter-weight technology designed for a service life of at least 250,000 door cycles providing long-term functional reliability. While a combination of buffers and rollers together with double rubber and damping springs ensure that the door opens and closes smoothly and quietly. In addition, two integrated photocells located within the door frame automatically stop the door should any obstruction be detected within the opening/closing sequence ensuring the highest operational safety standards. Matching side doors and the option to incorporate low threshold wicket door provides easy and safe pedestrian access.
