Ensuring Access for all G
EZE UK’s popular RIBA-approved CPD Removing Barriers to Access has been completely revised and
updated and includes new visuals and updates to regulations all in GEZE’s new branding. The CPD looks at why door controls are
needed, explains the various standards and regulations that apply, where and when to use a manual door control or an automatic operator. It looks at self-closing devices for fire door applications and the benefits of electro hold-open devices. The seminar also explains the benefit of automatic doors, the different types and their suitability, as well as their potential danger points. Offering architects and specifiers invaluable advice and guidance, which contributes to their continuing professional development, this updated training seminar gives a better understanding of the requirements of specifying door control devices to make buildings accessible to everyone. The 40 minute seminar covers all the relevant standards and regulations and is
included in RIBA’s core curriculum: Access for all, Compliance, and Designing and building it. It can be presented in person or virtually
via a variety of online platforms and at a time to suit, usually lunchtime but breakfast seminars or afternoon sessions can be accommodated. National Specification Manager
Richard Richardson-Derry said: “The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and its replacement ‘The Equality Act 2010’ has rightly enshrined in law that a disabled person must not discriminated against and
has the same opportunities as every other member of the public. This includes access to shops restaurants, theatres, hospitals or any public building. This seminar provides detailed guidance
on how architects and specifiers can do just that.” RIBA Chartered Architects are obliged
to undertake a minimum of 35 hours a week to maintain their competence:

F58 PLUS ‘No time to wait’ LVT adhesive
F. Ball and Co. Ltd.’s new Styccobond F58 PLUS is a fast-drying, fibre-reinforced, pressure sensitive adhesive that is ideal for the installation of LVT floorcoverings. Its fast-drying formulation enables LVT tiles and planks to be secured from just five minutes following application of the adhesive, allowing for a much speedier installation time.
Developed as a ‘transitional’ adhesive, Styccobond F58 PLUS transitions from a wet-lay adhesive when initially applied to a subfloor, through a semi-wet stage to become fully pressure sensitive. The reinforcing fibres in the formulation provide resistance to lateral movement, holding tiles firmly in place and reducing the potential for them to slide around.

“CaberDek does exactly what it needs to!”
When Somerset-based Alan Williams of Apache Carpentry was asked to work on a development of three high-end residential properties near Winsham, Somerset, he knew just the product to call on for the flooring. “We chose CaberDek because it is such a reliable
and easy to use product at a competitive price” said Alan. Having expertly constructed the timber framework, Alan used West Fraser’s CaberDek on top of the joists on the first floors of the three buildings. Taking care to space the joists with the board sizes in mind, and using CaberFix D4 adhesive, Alan finds he gets great results every time!

F.Ball delivers flawless flooring
Stopgap subfloor preparation products from F. Ball and Co. Ltd. and the company’s Styccobond F44 acrylic adhesive have been used to create a laboratory-standard flooring finish at a new facility for international laboratories operator Tentamus Group, at
Pride Park in Derbyshire. Contractors from JDF Flooring used F.

The upper floor was partitioned to create multiple laboratories.
