A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Mumford and Wood delivers bespoke period windows from Mumford & Wood, which we summarised at the time by saying "Bespoke windows by Mumford and Wood have been specified for a property refurbishment in London which offers mixed-use accommodation of private housing, retail units and commercial office space.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Fit and forget security cylinder from Avocet from Avocet Hardware: "Avocet's ABS Snap Secure Cylinder was the focus of the company's stand at the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) exhibition at the Harrogate International Centre in June.".

In July 2010, we covered the news from Birchdale Glass - take a look at Birchdale achieves Secured by Design accreditation which says: "Birchdale Glass has been awarded Secured by Design (SBD) accreditation for its aluminium communal heavy-duty entrance door with electromechanical locking system.".

Take a look also at the news release from BSI British Standards, Kitemark confirmation for window energy ratings, as well as Plastmo unveils PVC-U product specification guide from Eurocell Profiles, and Deeplas launches dedicated roofline website from Eurocell Profiles.
