Eurocell the Fascia Specialists – Therasme Building Regulations
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
On a wider level, legislation within the industry is also providing the
ideal catalyst to drive forward innovations that use recycled material
to make products that actually improve thermal performances. Take for
instance the updated ADL which was introduced back in April 2006 to
deliver a 20% improvement in the thermal performance of dwellings.
Thesesame Building Regulations will be tightened again in 2010 and 2013,
as part of the plan to ensure that all their properties including houses
and public buildings meet the highest thermal standards possible.
The improvements needed in thermal performances now means that many
housing associations prefer to use cavity closers because it aids
compliance with the tighter Building Regulations.
We designed a recycled cavity closer that improves air tightness and
minimises heat loss between the jambs and cills. As it is produced from
recycled
material, it made an ideal environmental choice. For us it was a major
breakthrough when we finally developed a method of using waste polymer
to produce the cavity closer and, with the addition of expanded
polystyrene, we were able to improve the thermal performance even
further.
The fact that the cavity closer is made from 100 per cent
recycled material makes this product perfect for many local authority
developments and it is very satisfying to find that a recycled product
also helps improve a dwellings thermal performance.
