– this section of the show has attracted companies from the UK, Europe and further afield. It is officially supported by Stone Federation Great Britain, whose Knowledge Hub forms a focal point for its member companies. It will feature Stone Tapestry, meanwhile, an installation curated by leading London-based architectural practice Squire & Partners. It explores innovative textures, light, colour and pattern to create a tapestry of inspiring materials from around the world. The talks programme is always a particular highlight of the Surface Design Show. The main stage, designed by Emily Skinner of recycling pioneers Smile Plastics, will host 18 different presentations and feature more than 40 speakers, to inspire the show’s audience of architects and designers.
Over the two and a half days, the main stage will host a range of debates, panels, trend forecasts and insights into the latest surface design innovations. It will also be the venue for the Legends Live series of ‘In Conversations’ in partnership with Mix Interiors, where industry leaders have the chance to interview a figure they particularly admire.
The Awards The Surface Design Awards are sure to again be a popular element of the show. Now in their 11th year, they continue to set a benchmark for architectural and design achievements across the world. More than 110 projects were entered into the 2023 Awards, coming from 24 different countries. The BAFTA Headquarters in London by Benedetti Architects, which won the Supreme Winner award in 2022 set the standard for excellence in surface design. Following the success of its debut last year, the Architectural Photography category returns once more for 2023. This year the Awards judging panel is co-chaired by Jonathan Hagos, director of architects studio Freehaus and Nasim Koerting, head of design at The Office Group, and features a diverse mix of industry professionals who have made a name for themselves among their peers.

JACKON by BEWI – leading the drive for sustainability in construction
JACKON by BEWI welcomes the fact that the new Future Homes Standard is adopting a ‘fabric fi rst’ approach in its drive to secure cuts in emissions of up to 80%. This is set to be a key part of the construction industry’s framework going forward, underpinning the planned green recovery of the housebuilding market in particular. Achieving the lowest possible U-value is also a key criteria for a building to gain Passivhaus certifi cation, since it is a requirement to achieve a 75% reduction in space heating requirements, compared to a standard UK new build. JACKON by BEWI is ready for the changes brought about by the Future Homes Standard and the new Part L of the Building Regulations which came in last year. The new targets are not a problem for JACKON by BEWI, since the company’s THERMOMUR® confi guration achieves a U-Value of 0.17 W/m2K. By using upgraded THERMOMUR® fi gure drops to 0.15 W/m2K. The next step up is THERMOMUR®
350 ICF in its standard EPS 350 Super EPS that
450 with a U-Value of 0.11 W/m2K, which
puts the building on course to become a Zero Carbon build. 01204 221089

Horiz.indd 1 Eco-conscious housebuilder adopts Thermoblock for its high spec developments
A housebuilder undertaking high specifi cation developments in the Stockport and Tameside areas of Greater Manchester has incorporated Marmox Thermoblocks into its designs, to target improved energy performance and all-round higher build quality for its customers. Romiley based D. Woodman Developments’ latest project is creating a total of nine dwellings at School Brow in Stockport where the former Cow & Calf pub is being converted to form three new homes, while a further four semi-detached dwellings and two detached homes are being built on the land adjoining what is a ‘Non-designated Heritage Asset.’ The new houses are being raised on conventional strip foundations using Eco Prime concrete and blockwork footings which then carry beam and block fl oors, along with the 100 mm x 600 mm x 65 mm Thermoblocks, 100 mm thick Celcon Solar aerated blocks then form the inner leaf to the insulated cavity exterior walls. Thermoblocks are available in widths of 100, 140 and 215mm and feature a unique design where two rows of high strength epoxy concrete mini-columns are encapsulated in sections of XPS (Extruded Polystyrene).
