Leviat’s new CPD seminar explores how using a Thermal Windpost in place of a traditional Windpost results in up to 70% reduction in thermal transmission through the span of the section, as well as improving the consistency and repeatability of fi tting insulation in and around the post, ensuring that the intended thermal design is met.

The task of adding an extra fl oor to an apartment building in the heart of Brighton has seen the 12 mm version of IPP Ltd.’s Magply boards employed in a variety of applications, both internally and externally: highlighting the well proven MOS product’s fi re performance, weather resistance and overall economic benefi ts. The local branch of Jewson, located in Portslade, has supplied Godfrey Investments with 295 sheets of the 12 mm boards for use in the construction of a parapet around the new roof terraces being created atop the three-storey structure. Then more of the boards are being used inside the quartet of luxury apartments. Site manager, Hassam Yesilada said: “Internally the Magply MOS boards being covered in two layers of plasterboard while around the terraces the liquid rubber membrane is being dressed up the face of the parapet walls and covered by a capping. Defi nitely, this is a unique project for central Brighton with every property having a scenic roof terrace and the work has gone well.” Magply MOS boards present a fi re-safe and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plywood or OSB products.

OMNIE adds AL HEX heat diffuser technology to UFH systems
OMNIE will be incorporating the advanced AL HEX aluminium diffuser technology on all its foiled underfl oor heating systems, as standard, with immediate effect. The patented AL HEX foil, with its trademark hexagonal patten, increases the in-channel foiled surface area that is in contact with the warm water pipe. The result is greater heat output, faster heat transfer and a more even heat distribution across a fl oor area, plus it avoids the risk of damage due to heat ‘striping’. Striping is caused when heat in the warm water pipe doesn’t diffuse into the fl oor panel effectively and, instead, creates hot spots and hot lines on the fl oor surface fi nish. Prolonged exposure to striping can damage both the fl oor fi nish and the subfl oor, particularly if the installer raises the temperature of the water to try and improve the diffusion. “AL HEX is a real step forward for underfl oor heating particularly when the industry is moving away from gas boilers and towards renewable heat sources,” says Brendan Hourican, OMNIE’s Managing Director. “Because it is so effi cient at transferring heat, AL HEX works very well with lower water temperatures. This means it improves the performance of the underfl oor heating.”
