SUSTAINABLE USE OF PVCU WINDOWS TO MAXIMISE ROI

Looking at the specification of windows, specifially PVC-U windows. How the windows market has changed over the years – looking at past, present and future window specifications and requirements. Looking at how PVC windows are appropriate in specialist applications – zero carbon developments etc. Future developments within the window industry and how companies are future proofing their systems.

THE FUTURE OF EXTERNAL MASONRY WALL BUILDING SYSTEMS FROM JUWO-SMARTWALL

Masonry wall methods of building haven’t changed in decades but are expected to fit into the new Future Building requirements of providing insulation as well as being able to resist rain penetration. Modern ways of building an external wall by using Monolithic Construction Methods not only provide the required insulation standards but don’t require cavities, additional insulation and are easier to build.

BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES WITH AIRTIGHT CONSTRUCTION

Optimal airtightness is a key factor when creating energy efficient homes. DuPont Tyvek and AirGuard building envelope membranes and accessories provide a holistic solution to help achieve optimal airtightness, and hence optimal energy efficiency. Nick Williams will present on the subject of Building Airtightness and how DuPont Tyvek promotes this important aspect of construction design. The talk will report on the UK’s role in reducing carbon emissions as well as energy efficiency trends, the benefits of airtightness, the support DuPont offer and the products they recommend.

PROTEKTOR NON COMBUSTIBLE CAVITY TRAY SOLUTION FOR PART B FIRE REQUIREMENTS FOR NON MASONRY STRUCTURES

This CPD will look at the requirements for non combustible products with cavities over 18m. We will also touch on the definition of through wall and the forthcoming changes in regulations.

RETHINKING ROOF CONSTRUCTION – CREATING A ‘SUPERROOF’

Modern Methods of Construction require modern methods of insulation. The session explores the commercial, practical and performance benefits you can achieve using a ‘SuperROOF’ solution.

CAVITY BARRIERS FOR VENTILATED FACADES

This presentation looks at some of the typical build-ups of masonry facades and the UK regulatory requirements for fire protection within this facade type including the latest regulation changes and additional guidance. It looks at the different types of fire barriers, which ones are suitable for this specific application and what important principles they must incorporate; also the testing and certification of products and systems to assist you in finding the routes to compliance when installing the firestops into the facade system. It also puts forward some typical problematic areas and how to overcome them early in the design stage to avoid them surfacing down the line on site and shows the fundamentals of installing cavity barriers and firestops system in masonry facades.
