‘Fire Resistance’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release New disposable high visibility masks from Sperian from Sperian Protection (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "New products not only guarantee total respiratory protection but also offer increased safety for users, particularly those working in poor visibility conditions,". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release RoofSURE to help reduce carbon emissions from RoofSURE: "A review of thermal insulation has revealed that the polyurethane foam used by RoofSURE is a cost effective method of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.".
 
In November 2008, we covered the news from Concrete Centre - take a look at Long-term sustainable schools which says: "Pupils should be taught in buildings that aim to safeguard their future, reports Andrew Minson, head of structural engineering at The Concrete Centre.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Natural Building Technologies, High performance insulation products from NBT, as well as Ward roof and wall panels for Honda from Ward Insulated Panels, and Profix expands composite door range from Profix.
