Affordable housing given superior vapour barrier and airtightness solution
A series of 10 newly built affordable Council houses in Montrose, Scotland has been fitted with a high- performing variable-permeability vapour control layer from the A. Proctor Group. Procheck®
Adapt is designed
to protect the building fabric from the potential risks of condensation and act as an effective airtight barrier. Jason Noble, architect with Angus Council commented on the requirement for a high-performance solution: “We required a high performing vapour barrier and air tightness layer, that could be installed on site by our contractor and achieve our performance specification.” Thanks to its unique design, the Procheck Adapt membrane offers variable permeability which adapts to changes in humidity levels and allows the structure to dry out in the summer and in sunny days during spring and autumn while protecting it from moisture overload in the winter. This is possible because the membrane adapts its vapour resistance to the environment i.e., vapour tight in the winter and more vapour open in the summer. The introduction of Procheck Adapt will ensure that it provides a high level of protection throughout the lifespan of the properties.

www.proctorgroup.com New door sizes on Garador Carlton and Horizon garage doors
Garador is seeing strong demand for its new range of taller up & over garage doors. Garador introduced new 6’8’’ and 7’2’’ door heights to the size range for their popular Carlton and Horizon up & over garage doors, back in April 2021. The sales of these new height doors have increased steadily through the summer months. Standard 6’6” and 7’0” garage door heights don’t always match standard openings and gaps often have to be filled with uPVC. These new 6’8” and 7’2” door heights offer a perfect fit for some taller standard openings, including a 6mm fitting tolerance. This means there is no need for uPVC cladding, saving both time and materials.
Garador’s new height doors are available for both the Carlton and Horizon door models. The 6’8” door heights can be supplied with either canopy or retractable lifting gear, whilst the 7’2” door heights only come with retractable lifting gear.
