EnviroVent has launched a new MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery) range, which is Passivhaus certified. The Sabik 350 & 500 series has been designed to provide balanced and sustainable ventilation for new and refurbished homes, incorporating modular features, with user-friendly controllability. The Sabik 350 and 500 systems have significant airflow capacity of up to 414 m3hr and 601 m3hr respectively, and are
suitable for handing airflow directions and drain on site to offer flexibility when it comes to ducting configurations. These modular units incorporate a range of features as standard, including integrated relative humidity sensor, touchscreen controller and frost protection.

Vent-Axia has extended its award-winning Lo-Carbon Multivent MEV range with the addition of the MVDC- MSH Uniflex MEV unit. Designed specifically for use with semi-rigid ductwork the MVDC-MSH Uniflex MEV offers further flexibility and ease of install for housebuilders, especially where space is restricted. The unit features all
the benefits of the existing Multivent MEV range with direct spigot connections to Vent-Axia’s easy-to-install Uniflexplus+ semi-rigid ducting, which is a simple “plug-and-play” alternative to the market standard of rigid ducting. The MVDC- MSH Uniflex, continues to offer the market-leading performance and benefits of the existing Multivent, but the compatibility with Uniflexplus+ semi-ridgid ducting allows a range of extra benefits for housebuilders.

On 30th March, the government announced a new version of the Great British Insulation Scheme. Starting this spring, the Scheme will run until March 2026, helping to improve the thermal efficiency of more British homes. It states that installing loft insulation and cavity wall insulation could save households £300 to £400 per year on energy bills. These measures clearly show the value of insulation in terms of efficiency over time, and many homes will not meet requirements for government assistance. Homeowners have already become more savvy about efficiency measures, but we expect this to increase with the continuing hikes in energy prices. Multifoil insulation will save time, space and money, and should definitely be considered as part of any plan to insulate a new or existing project. Made up of insulating wadding sandwiched between thin reflective film layers, multifoil insulation is highly versatile in many ways including its application, its use alongside other types of insulation, the U-values it can achieve and its installation. SuperFOIL products are suitable for use in the roof, walls and floors, are compatible with other more traditional types of insulation, and can be used for both new build or retrofit projects to increase their efficiency, as well as by DIY consumers for smaller scale projects.

esigned to make installing wall-hung and back-to-wall WCs simple, VitrA has introduced its new range of versatile
frames and concealed cisterns, including models for fl oor fi xing, fl oor and wall fi xing, reduced height and back-to-wall installations, with 3/6 litre and 2.5/4 litre cisterns. The new frames have clever features to make
installation easy, quick, and fault-free; these include spring-loaded feet to bear the weight and an adjustable clamp to secure the waste pipe in place - both allowing a one-person installation. Water and electrical connections to allow the installation of shower toilets and electrical fl ush plates, are included. The conduits can be accessed through the fl ush plate opening, meaning they can be connected in the future retrospectively without causing damage to the wall. The new frames include a host of technical
USPs. Each comes with a wall connection fi xing kit, including fully adjustable fi xation brackets and front adjustment mounting bolts. There are three water inlet options – left, top and back – for extra fl exibility. Spring-loaded feet for perfect positioning make it easy for one- person installation, as well as the adjustable clamp which holds the waste pipe in position, with 50mm of adjustment. Clean water and wastewater pipes are also fi xed together with load-bearing clamps. The thickness of the frames is 30mm x 40mm for perfect rigidity, and the V stopper and fl ush
plate area have reference points that can leave an imprint on the plasterboard to show where to cut the holes. The frames and cisterns are all subject to rigorous reliability and performance testing, and the 3/6 litre cistern option has WRAS approval. Margaret Talbot, VitrA Marketing Manager,
explains, “Our new concealed cisterns and frames have been produced to be especially trouble-free and super easy to install in various

settings – exactly what installers have been asking for. Ease of installation, quiet in operation and a fast fi rst-fi x option.” VitrA off ers a range of mechanical and
electronic fl ush plates for use with the frames. For helpful online advice on installation, VitrA has collaborated with Plumberparts on a series of how-to videos.
