Crittall’s window display
A
town centre shopping mall in Stroud, Gloucestershire, has been given a new lease of life with Crittall playing a significant role in the makeover.
Dransfield Properties opted for a complete transformation of the Five Valleys Shopping Centre to include new retail outlets, as well as enhanced car parking, office space and a community hub with library.
Key to the interior appeal was replacing a
jumble of disparate shopfronts and signage with a more ordered, modern appearance. Sheffield-based Dixon Dawson Architects selected Crittall W20 steel profiles for the task.
“The client wanted a particular style of glazing. I was familiar with Crittall and saw it as the best solution,” said Guy Dixon Dawson. “The whole mall was remodelled; frankly it was a bit of a mess

beforehand. Now, everything, ceiling to floor, has been upgraded.” The result is a simplified approach with
Crittall’s slender steel profiled windows and doors providing a uniform appearance. All the cold form doors were a mix of hinged and automatic sliders.

Glidevale Protect publishes Environmental Product Declarations for key ranges
L
eading UK building products manufacturer Glidevale Protect has published third party, independently verifi ed Environmental
Product Declarations (EPDs) for three of its construction wall membranes to assist specifi ers by providing clear sustainability and life cycle assessment data. Created by One Click LCA and verifi ed by the EPD Hub in accordance with EN 15804+A2 & ISO 14025 / ISO 21930, the product and factory specifi c EPDs do not contain average calculations and have been assessed cradle to gate with modules A1-A3, C1-C4 and D, with the life cycle analysis (LCA) published in accordance with the reference standards ISO 14040/14044. Detailing key environment impact data including global warming potential (GWP) calculations as well as total energy and water use, the EPDs form a transparent analysis of each product’s carbon footprint to give full reassurance in specifi cation. The development of EPDs for Protect TF200
Thermo, Protect VC Foil Ultra and Protect TF200 demonstrates Glidevale Protect’s continued commitment to and investment in sustainability. Protect TF200 Thermo is a refl ective breather membrane for external walls which can enhance thermal performance and Protect VC Foil Ultra, a refl ective air and vapour control layer (AVCL), off ers low emissivity to enhance the thermal performance of internal walls, ceilings

and fl oors. Both can be used together as a system to help maximise the energy effi ciency rating of a building and control condensation risk. Protect TF200 is a high performance breather membrane, off ering protection to external walls and minimising the risk of interstitial condensation. Detailed EPDs help specifi ers to understand
a product’s sustainability credentials when working to more stringent regulations such as Building Regulations Part L as well as whole
building environmental assessment standards like BREEAM. EPDs quantifi ably demonstrate the environmental impact of a product and data is independently verifi ed and certifi ed in line with internationally recognised standards, focused on the product’s whole life cycle.
