Facade membranes within a high-rise or high-risk building mostly cover a huge area of the building envelope and therefore have a high risk potential within the fire safety concept. Addressing the issue of breather membranes should therefore form part of any overall facade fire strategy. Learn in our CPD Webinar how to achieve maximum fire safety Euroclass A2 for your complete external wall system with Stamisol Safe One facade breather membrane. Discover which features like UV-/water resistance and breathability are important for the lifetime of your facade system and which certifications and tests are essential.

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.

This seminar discusses the issues surrounding the specification of rainwater systems and focusses on the benefits of cast iron style systems. It looks at industry standards and regulations, cost comparisons and compares different materials. It also looks at the different applications where cast iron style can be used as an alternative to traditional cast iron systems.

This CPD presentation provides an essential guide to the key aspects of SAFE Design philosophy. Specifying effective Smoke ventilation, safe Access, compliant Fire rated design and Escape solutions. For anyone new to the subject or for those who would benefit from updating their knowledge on access and escape solutions. Starting with the fundamental question ‘How To Specify Safe Access?” the presentation builds into a comprehensive and authoritative guide to understanding how, as an architect, simple design considerations can be made to ensure safe and compliant access while following tried and tested design methodology. The presentation draws to a close by demonstrating how to design around small, medium and large-scale problems with innovative solutions across a variety of industries.

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.
