How To Be Sarkey And Get Away With It
Natural Building Technologies, specialises in ecological building materials and introduces Isolair, a robust, interlocking, water-resistant sarking board with excellent thermal insulation properties.
Pavaclad Timber and Pavaclad Steel are wall systems, using woodfibre insulation fixed externally over timber or steel frames.
They can be finished by rendering directly onto the external woodfibre cladding or may be clad with a variety of finishes including timber and brick.
This results in a thin-wall construction which has high thermal and acoustic insulation values.
The systems offer lightweight, quick-to-erect buildings with a performance that can match many heavyweight buildings.
The cost, speed of build and performance makes the systems ideal for housing associations, local authorities and commercial builders.
The walls offer sound absorption of greater than 52dB and the systems includes complete structural, thermal and acoustic calculations, together with detailed architectural drawings and design specifications.
Pavaclad offers substantial cost savings over conventional buildings, and dispenses withthe need for cavities and complicated venting details.
This means membranes can be eliminated.
Added to this, the new walls have very low embodied energy, are non-toxic, non-irritant, and result in zero emissions once built.
Pavaclad is based on proven designs and techniques.
It is robust, easy to construct and immediately available.
It gives measurable cost benefits and its performance helps to enhance the health of people, buildings and the natural environment.
