EXTERNAL ENVELOPE; INTERIORS 55 Add technology to your new garage door G
arador, Britain’s leading garage door manufacturer, has incorporated top functionality and new technology to
ensure their latest range of domestic garage doors leads the way for modern life. Their great-looking Up & Over, Roller,
and Sectional doors can all incorporate the full range of Garamatic electric door openers, meaning they can be controlled by secure remotes or even by your smartphone or home hub. Fingerprint-controlled operation is also available. Insulation and Security have become a
must-have for garages. Garador was among the fi rst manufacturers to off er high-insulation doors. For example, Garador’s Premium Sectional garage doors provide exceptional thermal insulation with U-values down to 1.30 W/m²K. Garador was also the fi rst garage door manufacturer to adopt Secured by Design and now off ers its highly engineered Guardian range of garage doors designed with security in mind. “There is so much more to a garage door than looks and colour,” said Jon Watson, Garador’s managing director. “Of course, we cover the latest trends in style, but equally important is choosing the best material, design, and functionality for individual requirements.” He said: “Our huge range of doors is available in the widest variety of materials, including steel, timber eff ect, real timber, and GRP,
each off ering unique advantages for diff erent locations and builds.” Garador’s new paint technology has also been cleverly designed to withstand the elements while providing a deep and highly durable fi nish. Today, choosing a garage door is a complex business, but there is help on hand.
“Our friendly team of advisors, both at
our Somerset head offi ce and through our extensive network of merchants and suppliers across the country, can help you choose the very best garage door for your budget and build,” said Jon.

BAL Waterproof 1C passes EAD certifi cation for NHBC tanking regulations
B
AL Waterproof 1C – the one-coat ready- mixed waterproofi ng system – has received EAD certifi cation for use on NHBC-
approved housebuilding sites. From January 1st 2025, NHBC implemented
new requirements for their members. This will mean that any new house in the UK
that is built (foundations laid from 1st January 2025) will require tiling in wet areas to be tanked with an EAD certifi ed system to receive warranty and insurance, if they are tiling: 1. Shower over bath OR shower with shower tray, with standard fl ow rate <12 litres/ min – WHEN the substrate manufacturer’s guidance advises a tanking system is still required, or has not passed NHBC Table 2 assessment requirements.
2. ANY shower over bath OR shower with shower tray, with a fl ow rate >12 litres/min.
3. ANY wet room (fully tiled wall and fl oor, shower area).
To remain compliant, only suitable NHBC accepted products which form a watertight covering for walls and fl oors should be used. BAL Waterproof 1C has been rigorously
tested and adheres to all NHBC regulations, crucially receiving EAD certifi cation ETA 24/1129 to comply with NHBC specifi ed standard EAD 030352-00-0503. BAL Waterproof 1C off ers a number of
benefi ts over other EAD-certifi ed waterproofi ng systems and is also certifi ed with a full BAL tiling solution as part of EAD testing requirements. BAL Waterproof 1C is a cost-eff ective ready-
mixed solution – which means no additional mixing is needed on site – and can be used on most common substrates without priming*. It is ready to tile after only 2 hours, meaning jobs can be completed sooner. Formulated with fi bre-strand technology for
improved strength, it can be applied in one-coat on walls (ensuring 0.8mm thickness) and fl oors
(ensuring 1.6mm thickness) with a brush, roller or 4mm notched trowel. This innovative new product is lightweight with easy-to-apply rheology and provides excellent coverage of up to 6m² - making it suitable for a standard domestic shower room, bathrooms or wetrooms. BAL Waterproof 1C also has sustainable
benefi ts with Low VOC and using 40% recycled materials.
