High quality performance and reliability with fully tested louvre system

highest quality. It’s


why ventilation it’s imperative that


the products selected are of the louvre specialist


Renson UK has developed Integrated Ventilation Solutions (IVS), custom-made tested louvre designs that offer a one-unit solution to guarantee both performance and premium aesthetics.


IVS is made to interface with the external face of the window or curtain wall and mechanical connections, and with these systems, the rear of the louvre is just as important as the front – hidden behind is the thermal protection, the plenums and the duct connections for mechanical installations. Not only is IVS a unique one-unit solution, but one that has been fully tested, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability at all times.


Renson UK National Sales Manager Martin Daniels comments: “Our customers

can trust that all our louvres offer outstanding weathertightness and have been fully tested to the highest standards, having been tested for airflow in two directions, and having undergone rigorous rainwater penetration and pressure drop versus airflow curve testing by the Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA). “In addition, our test reports are freely and easily downloadable from our website, offering complete transparency to our customers at all times.


“By recognising that the louvre can be used as a component rather than just a product, we were able to create IVS, a unique one- unit, combined solution with outstanding performance


and reliability. Match that


with honest, transparent testing, and we’re ensuring our customers always have access to the best performing and most reliable products in today’s louvre market.”

Resapol supplies Mapei Purtop for Old Trafford Cricket Ground


I


n early 2023, Steven Smethurst from Owens Builders & Contractors, contacted the Resapol Leigh branch seeking assistance for a balcony waterproofing project at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground. They needed a waterproofing solution to protect the balconies located at the pavilion stand, as standing water had been collecting and seeping into the function rooms below.


This water infiltration was causing damage to the ceiling and had the potential to cause even greater harm if not addressed promptly. They therefore required a quick and user- friendly waterproofing system. Resapol Leigh depot’s technical team considered Mapei Purtop Easy as a potential solution. Purtop Easy is a ready-to-use, one- component elastic polyurethane membrane commonly used for waterproofing balconies, terraces, roofs, and areas with pedestrian access, both for new construction and renovations. Its high elasticity and durability make it suitable for application on both horizontal


and vertical surfaces using


brushes, rollers, or trowels. Once applied, Purtop Easy ensures complete waterproofing even at low temperatures and in the presence of standing water, making it the ideal choice for this particular project.


Once the project was approved, the delivery of Purtop Easy system was swiftly arranged from Resapol Leigh, direct to

the project site. Work commenced on 11th April 2023; time constraints were crucial as the project needed to be completed within two days of applying the new screed to the balconies. The full Purtop Easy system, consisting of Mapei Polyprimer HB 45, Purtop Easy, and Mapetex FG, was required. The primer played a key role as Purtop Easy could only be applied to substrates with a moisture content of less than 6%. Applying the primer allowed Owens Builders to begin application of the Purtop Easy system earlier, saving them time. Thanks to the ease of application of the Purtop Easy system, the project was successfully completed on 14th April 2023.
