‘Slip Resistance’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Ronacrete repair for Manchester orbital motorway from Ronacrete, which we summarised at the time by saying "Contractors NMS specified RonaRoad Manhole Mortar and RonaRoad EcoPatch Pothole Repair for repairs on the M60 in Manchester.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Gradus new Matting CPD Seminar from Gradus Group: "Gradus new RIBA approved CPD seminar for architects on 'The Specification and Design Considerations of Barrier Matting Systems'.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from ACO Building Drainage - take a look at Building in fire and smoke protection which says: "Peter Jennings, Technical Director for ACO Building Drainage, looks at how poor planning of drainage systems can contribute directly to the spread of fire in large buildings.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Renderplas, PVCU render beads work well for Welsh Oak Frame, as well as New RonaFloor Stone Carpet from Ronacrete from Ronacrete, and Timber protection for Olympics bridge from Arch Timber Protection.
