EJOT UK extends specifi er support with NBS Source partnership


L


eading construction fastening solutions manufacturer EJOT UK has strengthened its support for architects, engineers and specifi ers by partnering with NBS


Source, further improving online


access to the digital information on its core anchoring and fl at roofi ng products. EJOT’s decision to become an NBS Source Partner has been driven by the growing pace of digital transformation within the construction sector, coupled with the strategic and objective evolution of the platform in recent years. These factors support EJOT’s broader strategy to integrate digitalisation effi ciently throughout the building design and specifi cation process.


It adds a further dimension to how the company


provides access


certifi cation such as European Technical Assessments


guidance (ETAs),


as


and third well


as to its library


of products, many of which are already supported by detailed technical datasheets, installation


party from


internationally recognised bodies including FM Approvals. Within the EJOT product range now available on NBS Source are the majority of its concrete screws, through-bolts, resin anchors and heavy duty mechanical anchors. These include its LIEBIG Safety Bolt and Superplus BLS anchors, which are renowned globally due to their excellent performance characteristics and modular design that overcomes many of the common challenges associated with post install anchoring in concrete and hard base materials. Several of EJOT’s most specifi ed


fl at


roofi ng fastening solutions are also listed on the platform. These include the EJOT HTK 2G tube-washer with TKR fastener combination, an FM Approved thermally-broken fi xing for roof membranes and insulating materials to steel and timber substructures, and the EJOT JBS-R and EcoTek adjustable tube-washer combination for fi xing tapered insulation to concrete roof decks.


EJOT’s fastening systems and products are regularly deployed in safety critical applications where accurate information, certifi cation and test data has always been vital to inform and support decisions at the specifi cation stage.

Klober marks 25 years of pioneering vapour permeable membrane


L


eading manufacturer of roofi ng accessories, Klober, is celebrating 25 years of its Permo Forte 145 underlay, one of the fi rst vapour


permeable membranes to transform the UK roofi ng market. When launched back in the late 1990s,


this type of vapour permeable membrane represented a turning point in roofi ng design. Permo Forte off ered a breathable alternative to traditional bitumen felts, helping contractors tackle widespread condensation issues that had long aff ected roof performance and building longevity. Permo Forte 145 was BBA certifi ed as a


vapour permeable (Low Resistance) membrane as early as 2000. At a time when the market for this new technology was still in its infancy, this was a huge milestone, off ering a certifi ed solution designed to help let harmful water vapour escape from the roof. The pioneering technology includes a


grid-reinforced, four-layer vapour permeable membrane, which gives it increased tensile strength to reduce the risk of accidental damage and nail tears. The membrane’s Low Resistance (LR) design also aids the ventilation process by allowing moisture to escape from roofspaces while preventing external water ingress.


Its technical strength has underpinned its long-standing success, especially trusted for high-stakes restorations. The Church of All Saints in Winterton was a project of signifi cant importance, with the Grade-1 listed building undergoing extensive, lottery-funded repairs. With a strong industry reputation, Permo Forte was specifi ed for the project to provide a reliable and durable solution. Nick King, portfolio manager at Klober, said:


“A heritage of invention, quality, and reliability has been the foundation of Permo Forte 145’s reputation and longevity. Originally designed to help tackle condensation, its strength and breathability also provide increased energy effi ciency and strong wind protection, making it an ideal choice for roofi ng in the UK.” Suitable for cold and warm roofs, the


Permo Forte 145 underlay is BBA approved. Additionally, all products supplied by Klober are covered by a 10-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
