England 2021 Regulations have been released and Scotland & Wales are currently under review. It is the intention that the updates ensure adequate ventilation of all types whilst the energy efficiency of housing is improved at the same time. As the saying goes, ‘Ventilate when you Insulate’. This is all part of the Government’s proposals for the Future Homes Standard, which provides a pathway for highly efficient buildings that are zero carbon ready, better for the environments and fit for the future. Implementation of a full technical specification is scheduled for 2025. There are also proposals being discussed to mitigate against overheating in residential buildings.


Titon welcomes the increased emphasis that has been put on ventilation in both new and existing buildings as per the Building Regulations update, particularly in the current climate.Titon has a user guide section to help explain this.

TBA Firefl y system sub-divides supermarket roofspace


During the recent pandemic supermarket chains have had to continue with property maintenance and improvement programmes to ensure the safety of their premises, including a store in Staffordshire where the APOLLO Lite 30:30 barrier, manufactured by TBA FIREFLYTM


, was installed within the roof-space as part of a major refurbishment


project. All of the APOLLO Lite 30:30, together with the heavy duty stainless steel staples and other ancillary Firefl y products, have been supplied by distributor, CCF. The APOLLO Lite 30:30 has been developed for use in vertical separation or compartmentation situations, offering 30 minutes integrity and insulation thereby exceeding the minimum requirements of the Building Regulations. It is widely specifi ed to form fi re barriers within roof voids and fl oor voids in many different property types, including tower blocks and other HMOs. The fl exible woven and non woven glass fi bre material is easy to cut and fi x and is treated with a proprietary coating to improve its fi re performance properties and therefore prevent temperatures rising in adjoining areas. The system has been fully tested to BS 476 Parts 20 & 22 and is third party certifi ed by IFCC.
