More than 1000 copies of the Council for Aluminium in Building's 'Setting the Standard 6' guide have been sold in just two months highlighting the demand for clear, concise and practical information on working with Part L.

Endorsed and vetted by BRE on behalf of the Government, 'Setting the Standard No.

6' is the latest in a series of technical guides published by the Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB) as part of its package of benefits to members and the wider aluminium industry.

Aluminium's monopoly as the definitive material for the commercial fenestration sector and a resurgence of interest in the domestic sector, mean that the guide has become an essential tool for specifiers, manufacturers and fabricators.

Indicative window U-values; measuring thermal performance; calculations and presentation of results are all covered along with guidance on the implications for curtain walling; rooflights and overhead glazing; shopfronts and conservatories.

The CAB is committed to promoting the use of aluminium in building and a vast array of technical and business support, such as the unique 'Setting the Standard' guides, is available to their members, which are drawn from all sectors of the industry from supply to manufacturing and installation.
