Residential roofs being upgraded using FIREFLY’s Zeus Lite 90/30


A specialist fi re contractor is employing the Zeus Lite 90/30 fl exible fi re barrier and Collaroll wrap from the range of TBA FIREFLYTM


in undertaking a major fi re protection programme in Sittingbourne.


A phased scheme set to continue till its entire stock is upgraded. Established in the 1990s, DC Fire Protection Ltd. works right across the country covering multiple sectors of the construction industry, installing active as well as passive fi re protection systems. It is currently engaged in lining the roofspaces to dozens of terraced houses on an estate in Sittingbourne, Kent. Director of DC Fire Protection Ltd, Daniel Mabbott, commented: “We have a good working relationship with FIREFLY™ whose technical team are always ready to come to site to offer advice on issues which arise, or to provide a bespoke detail. We also rely on them to give our operatives the hands-on training required. In this case the installation work is fairly straightforward also using the Collaroll to wrap beams and the project, which is set to continue for several years, is progressing well.”

The bottom line? Get the low-down on how to improve project profi tability


However much we all want to do the right thing, there is always a shadow over our shoulder – what’s the cost? Good news: going against the conventional, getting below the skin of your new build, refurbishment, or refi t project, WILL tick all the boxes in terms of ethics and morals – AND deliver savings on construction costs – and beyond. What is this miracle? Underfl oor air conditioning – or UfAC. The clue is in the name – underfl oor. Using a 200m+ raised access fl oors eliminates the need for a ceiling based ventilation zone – typically twice the depth which helps to maximise fl oor to ceiling heights. The process in new build means the overall building height is reduced, by up to 10%, with all the associated savings in construction material and labour costs. The building is completed – and therefore occupied – more quickly. That delivers an accelerated revenue stream/ ROI, potentially providing income three months before an offi ce block offering the same lettable fl oor space is even fi nished! Because UfAC uses the fl oor as a plenum, there is no ductwork, delivering further cost savings in terms of materials and labour. Please contact AET Flexible Space for more information.

A family owned fi shing and holiday business in the heart of the Bedfordshire countryside is currently seeing a variety of new leisure and commercial facilities being created, with high performance Magply boards from the range of IPP Ltd. having been chosen for lining a large new caravan maintenance workshop. Dave Curson, whose drive and ideas have shaped Henlow Bridge Lakes, commented: “We decided to utilise the 12 mm Magply boards to line the structure on the recommendation of the main contractor, who has past experience of working with them where there is a fi re protection requirement. All of the boards are being installed using self-tapping screws by just two men, working from a cherry picker and I think it is all going to look really quite good when it is fi nished.” Magply boards offer a range of performance benefi ts relevant to the application. In fact Magply boards carry Euroclass A1 and other internationally recognised certifi cations, confi rming their suitability as a fi re mitigating sheathing for timber or steel frame systems, as well as in rainscreen cladding, SIPs and other modular/offsite constructions.
