CaberShieldPlus is a durable, P5 fl ooring which
features a permanent, waterproof coating on both sides. Almost exclusively preferred now to P4 boards – for both new-build and refurbishment applications, the P5 particleboard panels are able to withstand the unpredictable British climate without deterioration.

external air barrier system from A. Proctor Group has been selected as part of a new zero carbon affordable homes project at New Ferry on the Wirral. The superior airtightness performance of the Wraptite membrane from the A. Proctor Group is the perfect solution, delivering signifi cant benefi ts to the combination of in-factory manufacture and on-site housing construction. Karl Ventre, Director at Starship, explains why Wraptite was chosen to achieve the airtightness solution and how it benefi ts off-site construction: “We have specifi ed this product within our system offering for the last three years, and it has always performed well and helped contribute to good airtightness test results. The self-adhesive membrane is easily applied in the factory, bonded externally to the substrate, and ensures that the membrane is held fi rmly in place, even during transportation, maintaining the quality of the system from installation to build and completion. Wraptite is an excellent quality product, and the self-adhesive backing gives a very neat fi nish.” The Wraptite air barrier system offers a safer and simplifi ed membrane system.

Bastion House is a modern take on a castle-like structure with its multi-faceted walls, tiered form and variously sized openings. The choice of Vandersanden’s Lima facing brick enhances this robust look while the brick’s light colour contrasts with the black mortar joints
and recessed jet-black window frames and balcony soffi ts. Maria Patton, project lead at Goldrose Sharpe, explains: “The Lima bricks have this artisanal, handmade texture which is quite unique; they stood out compared to other brick samples.”

When the owner of White Cross Farm, located on the outskirts of Broughton in Staffordshire, decided to build a new property on his land – consisting of a swimming pool – keeping water out of the underground structure presented more technical challenges than keeping it in. The solution, however, was presented by preservation and protection specialist, ProTen Services and its long-term working relationship with Kent based Triton Systems, who jointly designed and supplied an integrated package of waterproofi ng products to successfully tank the external perimeter wall forming the basement, which will house subterranean spa in very challenging ground conditions. As a long established manufacturer with a very successful track record, Triton Systems offers a wide range of well proven products to cover damp-proofi ng problems, timber protection, structural repairs, condensation control and the penetration of gases such as radon and methane. Its technical advisory service is also able to offer advice on specifi c Structural WaterproofIng project requirements as well as guidance on relevant product compliances.
