Early-stage project planning quicker & simpler with new system calculator
Ecological Building Systems has launched its new online System Calculator, designed to make early-stage project planning quicker, simpler and more accessible. Ecological’s System Calculator guides users through a series of simple questions about the existing construction and the desired upgrade to build a complete wall, roof, fl oor or loft system rather than selecting individual products in isolation. As each answer is selected, the system automatically generates a specifi cation tailored to the selected project requirements, including the estimated material quantities, costs and the achievable U-value. Users can then adjust their answers to instantly compare how different options affect material quantities, costs and thermal performance, making it easy to explore the most suitable solution for their project. By combining material quantities, indicative costs and achievable U-values within a complete system specifi cation, the System Calculator gives users greater confi dence during the early planning stages. It enables different options to be explored and compared in minutes, making it easier to understand how individual choices infl uence overall system performance.

BEWI supports cutting-edge ICF project BEWI Thermomur®
Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF) Building System and BEWI Jackodur®
Atlas
Foundation System have made possible the construction of a new cutting-edge energy-effi cient home in Berkshire. Called Swallowbrook, the project, which was in the past shortlisted for the BuildIt Awards, comprised the stunning transformation of a 1960s bungalow into a superb and unique family home of 418sq m internal area. BEWI Thermomur®
350 Super ensures an outstanding thermal performance (with a
U-value of 0.15W/m2K) and also enables a fast and effi cient build. It was used on this project in conjunction with the BEWI Jackodur®
Atlas Foundation System, which features an innovative interlocking design to
eliminate thermal bridging and ensure superior insulation, combined with stability for the foundation slab. The BEWI high density cavity closure product was also used on all four sides of every external door or window opening. The result is a building with a total construction cost of just under £1m, which has an outstanding thermal and acoustic performance and highly insulated structural walls and fl oors.

Hambleside Danelaw has expanded its roof ventilation range with the Danelaw Thin Leading Edge Tile Vent (TV10/12), compatible with most large-format thin leading-edge tile types. The vent is suitable for roof pitches
down to 17.5° and a maximum headlap of 120 mm. Manufactured from polypropylene, the vent back box contains up to 70% recycled PP. Suitable for new-build and refurbishment projects, the TV10/12 replaces a single thin leading-edge tile and can be used for soil pipe ventilation and mechanical extraction. The vent provides a ventilation airfl ow area of 10,000 mm2 (with pipe spigot removed).
