APPOINTMENTS & NEWS; SHOW PREVIEW: UK CONSTRUCTION WEEK 47 Glidevale Protect turns up the heat with DiscreteHeat L
eading building materials manufacturer Glidevale Protect is continuing to help create energy effi cient homes of the future
by having its refl ective membrane technology used as part of an innovative new heated skirting board system by Manchester based manufacturer DiscreteHeat Co. Ltd, maximising the product’s thermal performance. DiscreteHeat’s patented product,
ThermaSkirt™, is set to change the way we heat our homes by removing the need for traditional wall-mounted radiators. ThermaSkirt is a compact aluminium skirting board system which is connected to the home’s heating system. It then radiates heat evenly and effi ciently around a room. The DiscreteHeat system has been developed with both new build and refurbishments in mind and tests have shown that when combined with Glidevale Protect’s VC Foil Ultra refl ective membrane, its energy effi cient benefi ts are further enhanced. One of the leading air and vapour control
layers (AVCLs) on the market, Protect VC Foil Ultra has a high-quality aluminium foil surface, giving it a superior thermal resistance, which in turn increases the radiated temperature performance of DiscreteHeat’s ThermaSkirt. To achieve these results the membrane is installed directly onto the wall substrate with the foil surface facing into the room. DiscreteHeat’s skirting board system then fi ts over the top, using clips to maintain the airspace and enhance radiant heat. Ethan Wadsworth, sales and marketing

Installation of ThermaSkirt with Protect VC Foil Ultra
director at DiscreteHeat commented: “We’re really proud of our ThermaSkirt heated skirting board system and see it as playing a key part in making the UK’s homes more energy effi cient for the future. When we saw the potential of combining ThermaSkirt with a specialist refl ective membrane such as Protect VC Foil Ultra, we immediately began testing and were
impressed with the signifi cant diff erence it made - increasing temperature levels by at least three degrees centigrade.” More information can be found on the

Sign manufacturer Stocksigns has recently raised £15,000 for The Children’s Trust, thanks to the company’s latest annual fundraising challenge. This year’s adventure took the team to the mountains of Slovakia where they descended into the gullies and ravines of the Paradise National Park and climbed to the
top of Mount Rysy in the High Tatras. “We are really proud to donate this money to The Children’s Trust and would like to thank all of our sponsors for making it possible,” commented Danny Adamson, Managing Director at Stocksigns. “It was also fantastic to share the experience with colleagues and customers who we just can’t thank enough for joining us on the climb.”

CCF invests in drive to net zero with new tool
HBD08_DesignerContracts_PR.indd 1
CCF is in the process of trialling its comprehensive new carbon reporting system with a panel of key customers who are working on large projects across the country to gather as much data as possible. The new tool will provide information on the carbon emissions relating specifically to the delivery of products to site but
going forwards it will also include the embodied carbon of the products to give insight and transparency to enable decision makers to make tangible carbon savings. Involving CCF’s customers in the process is critical to make sure the new reporting tool will be both useful and usable – ensuring it will deliver the results and drive the changes needed so that as the construction industry can hit the net zero targets by 2050.

CCF has upgraded its vehicle fleet to offer a more efficient and reliable service. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to improving sustainability across its business operations, CCF has invested in 70 new fuel-efficient delivery lorries. By increasing capacity from 26 to 32 tonnes, the larger
vehicles will replace the smaller, older trucks within the existing fleet so that more orders can be delivered in fewer journeys. The new vehicles will help reduce both pollution and embodied carbon within the transportation of CCF’s extensive product offering, which includes insulation, plasterboard, and ceiling solutions, to construction sites around the country.
