‘Ingress Protection’

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 Why steel should still appeal from Steel Window Association: "Steel Window Association asks if some leaseholders are paying out unnecessary money because social landlords are replacing steel windows with PVC-U units.".

In November 2008, we covered the news from RoofSURE - take a look at RoofSURE to help reduce carbon emissions which says: "A review of thermal insulation has revealed that the polyurethane foam used by RoofSURE is a cost effective method of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.".

Take a look also at the news release from Dulux Trade, Dulux Trade Weathershield Naked Wood products, as well as Painting programme chooses Dulux Trade Paints from Dulux Trade, and Dulux Trade Cladshield protection for buildings from Dulux Trade.
