The Gilgen PSW ‘Green-Wings’ system consists of a state-of-the-art door automation drive, thermally sealed door profiles and insulated glazing that helps to significantly reduce building heat loss. Ideal for externally facing doors in a number of public buildings such as hospitals, colleges and offices, the system reduces utility bills and contributes to the achievement of Breeam sustainability standards.

Rigorously tested and certified by ift Rosenheim to provide class leading U-values, air permeability, wind and rain resistance, Gilgen PSW delivers U values as low as 1.0 and is designed to provide reliable long term operation even in the toughest of environments.

The system incorporates a powerful Gilgen SLX door operator which is strong enough to operate even heavyweight insulated doors with speed and efficiency. The drive is easy to install, efficient and incorporates advanced safety features to ensure compliance with BS EN16005 safety standards.

Of high-quality Swiss design the system acts like and looks like a standard automatic door, with high quality components that that only enhance the appearance of building facades. The elegantly designed motion sensors are built into the header profile for a sleek finish and activate the doors quickly and efficiently as persons approach.

PSW is tested for protection against driving rain and highly wind resistant making it suitable for exposed building entrances.  Each door incorporates a special runner surface and rubber damping for quiet operation and the insulation also helps to reduce noise levels, for example, from busy roads.

“We know technology is constantly evolving and it’s imperative specifiers and architects are aware of the benefits of single ply membranes,” commented Shay Casey, Senior Sales Manager for Sika-Trocal.

“This material is highly versatile, cost effective but most importantly, provides waterproof protection for flat roofs. Our new CPD will help keep the industry abreast of new product innovations in this field” he concluded.

Single Ply Membranes have been widely used in the UK for many years and as the UK’s oldest supplier, Sika-Trocal now has more than 40 years’ experience in the industry. Its comprehensive range of products has high levels of performance, as well as a design life in excess of 30 years.

There are a number of different methods that can be used to restrain Single Ply Membranes against wind uplift forces, along with other design considerations, all covered by the new CPD which is also RIBA approved and allows attendees to gain 8 CPD points.

Single Ply can be considered for use in many types of build and sectors, as this material is very versatile with easy application methods, yet represents excellent value.

Now you can with the brand new range of Plantation shutters from Tuiss.co.uk, which are uniquely constructed from partly recycled composite with a ‘no rust’ aluminium core for extra strength. Not only won’t they warp, crack or fade in humid condition, they also have superior heat and sound insulation. And if you fancy a change, unlike wooden shutters, they can be repainted without preparation. They are also flame resistant and fully washable and best of all are available at a fraction of the cost of the wood alternatives.

Made to measure with a choice of traditional design or contemporary chic, Tuiss Shutters are incredibly easy to install with their revolutionary ‘screw and slot’ system which allows you to literally slot the doors into place onto a pre-sized frame to fit your window.

And not only are they more affordable than ever but they also have much shorter delivery times than have come to be expected with the many cheap imports on the market where you could be waiting as long as 8 weeks. All Tuiss shutters are assembled and delivered in the UK in just 7-10 days!

Tuiss Shutters are priced from an incredible £99/m2.

Steve Clarke, marketing manager for The Fuel Card Group, said: “This enabling agreement simplifies the public sector procurement process, because the CCS has established pre-agreed terms and conditions for individual contracts. Anybody in the public sector running vehicles can now arrange fuel cards within minutes, rather than weeks. Whichever fuel card they choose from our range, they can expect to save up to 4p per litre for both diesel and petrol. They can also be assured that there will not be transaction charges, whenever they refuel, or any other additional fees.”

The Framework Agreement can be used by organisations across the UK public sector including central government, local government, health, education, devolved administrations, emergency services, defence and not-for-profit organisations. The Agreement is fully EU compliant, saving customers the time and money associated with conducting their own procurement exercise. Suppliers are carefully evaluated during the tender process and pre-agreed terms and conditions offer customers sound contractual safeguards.

The CCS is an executive agency and trading fund of the Cabinet Office. Responsible for improving government commercial and procurement activity, it provides a professional procurement service to the public sector. CCS framework agreements are a set of pre-tendered contracts with suppliers from which public sector customers can purchase goods and services.

Steve Clarke said: “Whether a public sector body is running just a couple of van or thousands of mixed vehicles, it can now cut its fleet running costs within minutes. The CCS has done all of the legwork, so that an organisation needs only to choose the fuel card or cards that suit its specific needs. Being independent and impartial, with an unbeatable range, we can assure them the best possible combination of service, savings and security.”

No matter how expensive products are, used badly they don’t work so basements almost always leak.

Basements leak till someone does the work well, whether that’s initially, later or eventually.

The first chance to waterproof a new-build basement is with the concrete. And the cheapest waterproof concrete is sampled on site, tested and certificated completely impermeable. It’s just what you want.

It does not require any expensive membrane, any costly tape or strip or an outrageously dear internal drainage system with a sump or a pump. These are all repair materials yet none last as long as good concrete.

The concrete just needs doing properly with the right steel reinforcement and the right mix design.

We can help you.

We can save you a fortune.

For a fixed fee of £200 plus VAT we will do our best to persuade your engineer or architect to drop his insistence on thousands of pounds (of your money) on extras that might overcome some poor workmanship but probably won’t.

For another £200 plus VAT we can attend site and do our best to get the work done properly.

But in all truth. If you want the work done well you need to employ your own gang temporarily so that neither you or them are out to get each other. We can help with that as well.

We are Waterproof Concrete With Site Supervision Ltd.

Because when the right concrete and the right supervision come together, it is RIGHT FIRST TIME and you pocket the savings.
