A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Door-Stop: The first ever energy rated door from Door-Stop International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Door-Stop has launched the first UK energy rated doors, just two weeks after the British Fenestration Ratings Council (BFRC) introduced the DER scheme.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Stannah Lifts and art deco development from Stannah: "Stannah complete major lift refurbishment project at Gunnersbury Court, an art deco style 1930s private housing development.".

In September 2011, we covered the news from Schluter-Systems - take a look at Free online training with Schluter-Systems which says: "Award-winning Schluter Online Academy enables installers, distributors and architects to keep up with the latest trends and technology for the tile and stone industry ".
