AET at Bridge House, Southwark
An extensive refurbishment of Grade II listed building Bridge House will create light, and airy contemporary CAT-A offi ce space which will incorporate AET’s innovative and highly adaptive underfl oor air conditioning (UfAC) system across all fi ve fl oors. AET’s CAM-V (fl oor supply, high level return) system was selected by consulting engineers and long standing supporters Milieu Consult as the most appropriate air conditioning solution, as it offered the highest level of fl exibility and adaptability as well as enabling the generous fl oor to ceiling heights to maximised at the same time. An underfl oor air conditioning system effi ciently and effectively makes use of the void beneath a raised access fl oor to create the air ventilation path, eliminating the need for unsightly ceiling-based services. A total of 13 CAM-V33 Conditioned Air Modules (CAM’s) were installed across fi ve fl oors which are served by high- effi ciency, roof mounted heat pump units. Conditioned air is delivered into the space by AET’s market leading fan assisted Fantile™ units which fi t seamlessly within the raised fl oor void. A mixture of AET’s standard TU4 and slim line TU350 Fantile™
units were installed throughout the building with the latter on the Ground and Fourth fl oors. 01342 310400 www.fl

PR.indd 1 Landmark Lewisham project using A1 Magply for fi reproof pattress inserts
A new high-rise residential project in the London Borough of Lewisham is being built to provide high quality social housing, with the design of the structure prioritising the use of non-combustible materials: including the choice of A1 rated Magply boards for pattresses within the external walls. The development is being built by C Field Construction and IPE Developments to create a total of 56 one, two and three bedroom apartments, including three specially equipped units on the lower levels of one block for those with mobility issues. Within all of the high specifi cation homes, pattress blocks cut from 18 mm sheets of Magply boards, manufactured by IPP Ltd, are being fi tted to the reinforced concrete structure’s infi ll of heavy gauge steel studs by sub-contractor, SCL Interiors. The pattresses are being positioned to support kitchen cupboards and bathroom units as well as radiators throughout the eight and 10 storey buildings. While this use of the well proven and widely specifi ed Magply MOS boards has already been demonstrated on other multi-storey HMO projects across the South-east and elsewhere, the main contractor and client’s representatives rightly insisted on witnessing a demonstration of the product’s suitability for the application.

Multiboard meets BS 5385 guidance on tiling substrates
Thanks to the continuing efforts of The Tiling Association (TTA), standards of training and workmanship across the industry have improved dramatically, while many specialist contractors and other building trades have made the switch to using high performance tilebacker boards, such as Marmox Multiboard, since BS 5385 Part 1 directed plywood was not a suitable substrate. The deterioration in quality of plywood – especially the cheaper imported types – has resulted in the commoditised wood product no longer being regarded as a “stable and rigid background” for tiling operations. In fact it is likely to delaminate and even rot if its moisture content changes. Multiboard, by contrast, is fully waterproof as well as offering a high thermal insulation value, with the polymer modifi ed concrete covering to the XPS core offering an ideal surface for plastering or direct tiling. Available in a range of thicknesses, Multiboards are both light to handle and easy to cut, while still being able to sustain substantial loadings if required, including as part of a fl oor build-up or supporting up to 100 kg/m2 across a wall. They can be fi xed using the special plugs available while, Marmox 360 adhesive will seal the joints in situations like wetrooms and pool areas.

Tiling_DPR.indd 1 Welsh housebuilder opts for OMNIE one-stop shop solution
An award-winning housebuilder who develops small sites and sells serviced plots to self-builders is close to completing a development of two dozen high specifi cation homes near the Welsh Coast, having chosen renewables specialist, OMNIE to supply a complete underfl oor heating package, including LG air source heat pumps. The two dozen three and four bedroom homes at Pludds Meadow, located in the town of Laugharne, 12 miles south of Carmarthen, have been built by Salem Construction, part of Sancler Property. OMNIE provided full drawings and specifi cations for each plot, indicating the layout of their Staple and TorFloor UFH arrays across the ground and fi rst fl oor to each dwelling. As a fully proven and very versatile, panel based underfl oor heating system, OMNIE’s TorFloor presents building services consultants and contractors with an unrivalled combination of performance benefi ts. Crucially the TorFloor panels combine the ability to span upper storey joists or battens fi tted across a ground level slab, to provide high effi ciency underfl oor heating and a structural deck in one product. Thus saving both time and money on installation, while avoiding the need for separate particleboard or other fl ooring.
