Arval-UE stainless steel launched
Recyclable stainless steel sheeting that does not contain nickel - therefore better value for money than its austenitic peers - is now available in the UK through Arval from ArcelorMittal Construction
As well as being available in a wide range of colours, coatings, textures and finishes, it is easy to install and comes with a 30-year guarantee.
The two flagship products on Arval's stand (no A19, February 6-7, Celtic Manor Resort) are Promfire fire-resistant composite panels and AR200XP, a high-performance, colour-coated steel building envelope solution with exceptional guarantees.
Promfire has also recently won LPCB certification to LPS1208 which involved passing an extensive series of tests to demonstrate its ability to resist fire from both directions (LPCB fire resistance requirements for elements of construction used to provide compartmentation).

Arval launches solar roofing and cladding system
BIPV steel roofing and cladding sheet that saves a tonne of carbon for every 1.5 metres installed has been launched by the Arval brand of Arcelor Construction UK.
Different panel thicknesses and fixing regimes were tested, satisfying the LPCB that they can provide fire resistance for up to two hours.
This is in addition to their other benefits - a choice of profiles and module sizes, finishes and fixings, and colours including metallic silver as well as a protective coating that comes with a 30-year guarantee.
The components on which Promfire's fire performance is based are rock mineral wool insulation (Euroclass A1) which is sandwiched between two coated steel facings (Class 1 surface spread of flame to BS 476: Part 7:1987 and Building Regulations Class 0).
The LPCB certification provides additional comfort to product specifiers aware of the growing concerns about fire risk among building occupiers, owners and insurers, concerns that have helped to make the fire performance of construction materials increasingly important in the specification process.
Suitable for a wide variety of applications including internal partitions and external boundary fire walls, Promfire panels combine fire, thermal and structural performance with design flexibility and value for money.
The new AR200XP system also helps specifiers and contractors manage risk and budget restraints.
Free comprehensive guarantees of up to 30 years for roofing and cladding applications (depending on the colour and environment) are available with AR200XP which also combines excellent durability and resistance to corrosion with colour retention.
AR200XP does not require annual maintenance inspections, has no reductions for orientation and is applicable on roof pitches down to 2.
Cut edges are covered for the entirety of the guarantee period.
Combining the pre-painted leathergrain finish in a choice of 13 colours with a substrate of a hot-dipped metallic coating means the period-to-repaint decision for typical inland and marine environments is up to 30 and 25 years respectively.
It is offered directly to the building owner and fully transferable should the building ownership change.
