‘Vandal Resistant’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Catnic timber frame steel lintels in Exeter from Catnic, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Catnic lintels were specified for Cowley Bridge Road, a 219-bedroom student accommodation building in Exeter, because of their durability and longevity.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release RonaDeck for walkway at Westfield Stratford from Ronacrete: "Ronacrete case study takes a look at the pedestrianised street that run through the Westfield Stratford City retail and leisure development.".
 
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 REHAU, REHAU supply pressure pipe for Carlsberg brewery, as well as Tyco quick-fit solar panel supports from Tyco Fire Protection Products, and UN say radon in buildings should be reduced from Cavity Trays.
