‘External Wall Insulation’

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 Basement solution to shoe-box homes from Concrete Centre: "Guy Thompson, head of architecture and sustainability at The Concrete Centre, believes the provision of basements would help counter RIBA criticism of 'shameful shoe-box homes'.".

In September 2011, we covered the news from Catnic - take a look at Catnic timber frame steel lintels in Exeter which says: "The Catnic lintels were specified for Cowley Bridge Road, a 219-bedroom student accommodation building in Exeter, because of their durability and longevity.".

Take a look also at the news release from Permadoor, New Safedoors retail offer from Permadoor, as well as TRADA Technology at Timber Expo 2011 from TRADA Technology, and Aluminium and Trespa faced panels for school from Panel Systems.
