Brett Martin brings light to door company’s new production facility
The UK’s leading supplier of roofl ight systems Brett Martin Daylight Systems (BMDS) has provided its Energysaver factory-assembled GRP roofl ights for a new purpose-built production facility in Bedfordshire, creating a light, energy effi cient environment which enhances the workplace for employees. Designed by architects Woods Hardwick, the new Jewers Doors facility comprises 45,700 sq ft of factory and 12,000 sq ft of offi ce space. Built by Parkway Construction, the new highly insulated building features energy effi cient heating and cooling systems. Its composite panel roof incorporates a roofl ight system from Brett Martin that maximises daylight and thermal performance, as well as offering the most cost-effective solution. The specifi cation for the 80 mm-thick composite panel roof included 650 m2 of Brett Martin GRP Trilite 3.0 Energysaver roofl ights to provide an even spread of diffused daylight into the building. Offering quality and robustness, these triple-skin factory-assembled insulating roofl ights (FAIRs) are designed to the same depth as the composite roofi ng system so that the fl at liner panel sits fl ush with surrounding metal panels for excellent aesthetics and a neater, trim internal appearance.

Rooflights_DPR.indd 1 Mapei Concrete Repair System protects & complements beachfront Shoreline
A Mapei Concrete Repair and Protection System has been specifi ed for repair works at Shoreline Restaurant & Bar in Devon. Over time, the building’s concrete columns, beams and soffi ts began showing signs of deterioration, brought on by the aggressive seaside environment. South West Concrete developed a specifi cation with Mapei in which all deteriorated and loose concrete was removed to form a sound, strong substrate with a rough surface. The exposed reinforcement rods were cleaned of all rust, then treated with two coats of one-component corrosion- inhibiting cement mortar, Mapefer 1K. When completely dry, thixotropic cementitious mortar Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 was prepared by combining with clean water, with the addition of set-retarding admixture Mapetard ES to extend the workability of the mortar. As Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 can be used between 3 mm and 40 mm, it helps to reduce dust and noise during preparation and the same product can be used to repair and profi le the concrete. The repair works were completed as part of the fi rst phase of works and Elastocolor Paint Anti- Carbonation Coating System was then applied later. Elastocolor Paint is offered in a wide range of colours.

Windows_DEdit.indd 1 Garador says goodbye to plastic
Leading garage door manufacturer, Garador, is taking steps to make its products more environmentally friendly. From June 2022, Garador will no longer be supplying garage doors with plastic wrapping as standard. Garador’s traditional wrapping system involved large areas of plastic around each garage door.
This plastic sheeting will now be removed from Garador’s full range of up and over garage doors, greatly reducing the amount of plastic waste involved in each delivery. Managing Director of Garador, Neil Discombe, said: “This is a signifi cant step towards our environmental goals and we are delighted we have now found a way to protect our garage doors during delivery without the need for these large areas of plastic. Tackling waste and working towards a more environmentally sustainable future is the responsibility of everyone, and we are glad to be able to play our part.” For specifi c items and requirements, plastic protection can still be requested as an optional extra. Find out more about why Garador is Britain’s leading garage door manufacturer by visiting the website.
