UK CONSTRUCTION WEEK SHOW PREVIEW; INDUSTRY VIEWFINDER: FIRE SAFETY & PROJECT ACCOUNTABILITY 33
JACKON helps developers meet the requirements of the new Part L regulations
V
isit JACKON’s stand (B510) at UK Construction Week and find out how the sustainable houses of the future
will be built. JACKON’s two building systems – Atlas and THERMOMUR®
JACKODUR®
Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) – are revolutionising UK house construction. This technology is growing at a time when the Future Homes Standard is set to be a key feature of the construction industry going forward, underpinning the green development of the housebuilding market. JACKON’s building systems help developers meet and surpass the requirements of all the latest regulations, including the recent changes to the Part L regulations, which have meant that from June this year, all new homes must produce 31% less CO2 emissions, compared to what was acceptable under the previous Part L regulations. This puts the responsibility for achieving improved energy performance
that their projects are sustainable and energy-efficient. JACKON THERMOMUR®
achieves a
u-value of 0.15 for walls with no added materials, and the JACKODUR®
ATLAS
on to the developers of new dwellings. By using THERMOMUR®
ICF moulded
expanded polystyrene (EPS) to create the formwork and JACKODUR®
extruded polystyrene (XPS) to create an insulated floor slab, JACKOBOARD®
as well as insulated tile backerboard
for internal tiling in bathrooms, wetrooms and other areas, developers can ensure

Advertorial.indd 1 Marmox Thermoblocks offer warm support to UK Construction Week
With both an energy and a housing crisis looming large across the UK, it is appropriate that Marmox has opted to dedicate its stand (B43) at this year’s Construction Week – taking place at the NEC from October 4th-6th – to showcasing a product offering a ready solution for the issue of thermal bridging. Well proven in practice, Marmox Thermoblocks are widely recognised by specifi ers as providing a means of achieving compliance with Part L, by addressing the challenges of cold-bridging at the fl oor/wall junction or beneath parapet walls. In fact the growing emphasis on improving energy effi ciency as well as the speed and quality of construction is making Thermoblock mainstream for both traditional and modern methods of building. Thermoblocks are available in widths of 100, 140 or 215 mm and are formed from sections of XPS (extruded polystyrene) encapsulating two rows of high strength, epoxy concrete mini-columns. These are attached at either end to the top and bottom layers of glass-fi bre reinforced polymer concrete, to ensure a good bond with the rest of the structure.

Renowned for enabling designers to retain the aesthetics of doors and interiors, Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers are gaining increasing popularity for use on fi re doors in high-rise fl ats and apartments.
The door closers carry the CE mark and have been independently tested and proved to meet the requirements for one hour and half-hour fi re doors under BS EN 1634-1.
Unlike other jamb-mounted devices, Powermatic door closers facilitate a door’s compliance with Approved Document M, are the only Certifi re jamb-mounted door closer and do not have to be removed from the door to be adjusted.

system can be designed to achieve 0.11. ICF integrates insulation materials into the concrete formwork, totally revolutionising the way a house is constructed. As well as being easier and quicker to build, an ICF house provides considerable advantages during the life of a building. The benefits include: dramatically improved insulation and air tightness leading to reduced expenditure on heating and cooling; excellent acoustic performance; fire resistance; enhanced resilience to flood, extreme weather and seismic activity; rot and vermin resistance; versatility
with regard to remodelling;
minimal maintenance requirement; mortgage, insurance and planning acceptance.
