We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Maintenance Costs",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Pilkington Activ self-cleaning glass for Glasgow from
Pilkington Building Products UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Mammoth task to clean the windows, and choice to switch to Pilkington Activ not only eliminates the cost involved but also the risks associated with working at height".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release SAS acoustic design for Everest Community College from
SAS International: "SAS International's acoustic baffles and wall panels have been installed at a brand new secondary school the Everest Community School in Basingstoke".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Mercedes-Benz CharterWay
- take a look at Help on hand to slash builders van costs in 2008
which says: "Mercedes-Benz dealers across the UK are working with businesses in the trade and logistics industries to assist them to dramatically cut their vehicle costs in 2008".
Take a look also at the news release from Ash + Lacy Building Systems, Building Manager chooses Ashjack solution,
as well as Safety and style at children centre from Polyflor,
and From opencast coalmine to championship golf course from WRAP.
