The latest BMF Selling Guides cover: Structural OSB The influx of imported plywood and the lack of a standardised grading system can lead to confusion among merchants and customers about which types of plywood are suitable for structural use.
The Selling Guide gives clear advice on typical types of plywood commenting on their source and suitability for structural use.
It also advises what standards and structural credentials to look for to help reduce unsuitable plywood, without structural grade, being sold for structural applications.
Energy Conservation With energy costs on the increase, many customers are looking to save energy and keep winter bills to a minimum.
The Selling Guide covers three different ways of saving energy in the home - by improving the thermal insulation levels, improving the existing heating system and adding renewable energy sources.
The Guide explains which methods work best in different circumstances and shows the savings against the initial cost.
Flexible Couplings Flexible couplings connect pipes together where their normal joints cannot be used.
The Selling Guide gives details of when to use each type of coupling and outlines the relevant British Standards and what they mean, in addition to giving clear advice on storage.
Water Conservation With hosepipe bans and drought orders affecting many parts of the UK, merchants can help their customers save water by installing water-saving products.
The Selling Guide offers advice on where water saving measures can be implemented throughout the home and which products can provide the best solution.
The BMF will be producing other selling guides on Structural Timber and Part P of the Building Regulations.
BMF members can access further information and details of BMF suppliers on the members section of the BMF website.
