between the lower pane and outer glass, so as not to compromise on daylight, design or views up to the sky when not in use. “Our new glass rooflights are designed to give people more of what they love in their homes: comfort, energy efficiency, maximum daylight, and fresh air. With more daylight, better indoor comfort, and seamless design, homeowners can bring more of the outside into their homes.” explains Scott Leeder, Market Director for VELUX Company Ltd. Key benefits for homeowners Ideal for flat roof renovations and new build projects alike, the glass rooflights are a worth-while investment for homeowners looking for a state-of-theart finish to their home. With a hidden sash and slim frame, the rooflights achieve a modern aesthetic when installed. The curved glass rooflight also offers a clear view and drainage with the unique CurveTech de-sign. The new generation of VELUX glass rooflights have excellent energy performance and optimal thermal insulation thanks to the ThermoTechnologyTM EPS insulation and low placement of the glazing unit. Compatible with VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO and VELUX App Control, smart home integration and control becomes effortless. In addition, the design has superb sound reduction
thanks to the double and triple-glazing options available which creates a quieter indoor climate. The rooflights offer several important safety features. The laminated glass on the inside can resist significant breakage attempts and the outer glass is toughened making the roof win-dow resilient, even in the harshest weather conditions. Key benefits for installers The rooflights come with a 10-year warranty, offering robust quality and ease to handle for installers. Enhanced installation features include: • Insert nuts for safe and hassle-free crane lifting to the roof • Pre-drilled holes and one torx size for all screws to save time • Solar-powered accessories without wires • Built-in motor and pre-paired wall switch and rain sensor for the electric variant • Pre-manufactured interior linings for a seamless finish inside the home • VELUX Rewards can be claimed on all flat roof windows, visit velux. co.uk/rewards for more information. The indoor comfort and peace of mind which comes with any VELUX flat roof window makes the new generation product offering a market challenger and sets the course for the future of flat roof windows.
The flat glass roof windows are available from £626 excl. VAT and suitable for 2-15° roof pitches. The curved glass roof windows are available from £750 excl. VAT and suitable for 0-15° roof pitches. To find out more information, visit velux.co.uk/products/flat-roof-windows

DESIGNING FOR BUILDING COMPLIANCE USING DELTA MS 500 FIRE RETARDANT, TYPE C WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
2022 FEATURES LIST January & February
Paying attention to waterproofing products which offer protection in event of fire is not the norm. We hardly think of water management and fire in the same thought, however the benefits of doing so are not quite as crazy as it sounds.
T
he demand for sustainable, cost efficient building methods and materials is constantly increasing, as is the demand for safer building materials. The waterproofing sector should embrace and support the goal of creating healthy and safe living environments throughout the lifecycle of products. There are many different design challenges experienced when designing a suitable, maintainable and capable waterproofing system. From existing basements to multi-level basements, basements which will encompass high water tables at some stage during their service life.

SterlingOSB Zero makes walls strong and sustainable Many materials can be used to form walls and partitions but, when it comes to choosing a versatile, cost-effective and sustainable option, West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero is a winner. Ubiquitous on many construction sites and used in agricultural and portable buildings, the panels are easy to saw, drill, nail, plane or file. They are perfect for structural use in dry and humid conditions. The fact that West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero is stronger and tougher than ply, with no knots, voids or delamination to cause problems, means that it is used widely in wall sheathing, partitioning and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). The high-quality boards are available in a range of grades, sheet sizes and thicknesses. Minimal finishing is required, helping to speed up construction. The boards are square-edged, so butt together easily and cleanly; nails can be driven as close as 8mm from the panel edge without causing splitting. When incorporated as sheathing in external stud walls, SterlingOSB Zero often forms the centre of a sandwich with a vapour barrier and outer
cladding on one side and internal insulation and dry lining plasterboard on the other. Internal partitioning is even simpler to construct. In dry lining applications, SterlingOSB Zero StrongFix provides another option for easy installation. This board product is precision engineered with a custom groove for metal C-studs at 600mm centres. The consistent density of OSB means fixtures and fittings of up to 400kg can be attached anywhere on the panel and achieve secure anchorage. As many contractors look to decarbonise their businesses, SterlingOSB Zero provides effective solutions. Timber is highly energy efficient as a building material and can deliver low energy fabric designs, with excellent levels of thermal engineering, utilising low U-values, air-tightness and thermal bridging. West Fraser’s SterlingOSB Zero has good environmental credentials. All the panels are made in the UK, so their carbon footprint is low. It is also the first OSB product to be made in the UK with zero added formaldehyde, so it is a ‘greener’ board that meets all standards with ease. SIPs are now the main component of many sustainable buildings. These panels incorporate a highly thermally efficient insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings of SterlingOSB Zero. This highperformance building system is manufactured under factory-controlled conditions and may be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. Building with SIPs saves time and improves build quality. The system is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. SterlingOSB Zero has aesthetic applications too. When left exposed, it has the advantage that it gives spaces a more natural look. Due to its raw visual appeal, designers and architects are increasingly employing the material as a creative showcase in cafes, bars, restaurants and retail outlets. It can be finished with most popular surface treatments and allows designs, logos and marketing messages to be applied. West Fraser offers product and technical support on the SterlingOSB Zero range through dedicated advice teams.

COMBINED DAMP PROOFING AND SOUND REDUCTION FOR WOOD FLOORS Triton’s Platon Comfort is a highly effective, single application damp proof underlay for wood and laminate floors laid on concrete. Equally effective for renovation or new build projects, the tough polypropylene membrane can be laid directly onto a new concrete slab as soon as it is dry enough to walk on. Platon Comfort offers three times the water vapour resistance than film membranes and eliminates the need to install a foam underlay. Construction height is only 2.5mm so effective damp protection can be provided without any disruption to the planned floor layer build-up. The unique stud design means they ‘give’ a little when subjected to a load, which improves walking comfort and reduces impact sound by around 17-19 dB. Platon Comfort can be overlaid with floating flooring systems such as laminate or engineered timber flooring (including glue-free systems), chipboard or plywood insulation, under floor heating systems or screed.

Rooms & Design Many of the bedrooms have been expertly upgraded with sumptuous new furnishings. Four poster beds, period fireplaces and contemporary fabrics ensure a charming blend of traditional and modern, with elegant and refined design. Communal spaces have also been enhanced with a new look, still in keeping with the former 16th century Elizabethan home’s historic charm.

Woven through History Listed in the 1086 Domesday book commissioned by William the Conqueror, the Billesley Estate has an expansive history dating back to 705 AD. One of its most famous visitors includes none other than William Shakespeare himself, who allegedly married Anne Hathaway in the All Saints church next to the hotel, and who’s granddaughter followed suit by getting wed in the very same church. William Shakespeare famously
wrote lines from his play ‘As you Like It’ from the library and as such many nods to Shakespeare can be found around the hotel from hand crafted feather pieces to more traditional artwork, allowing guests to become immersed in the rich tapestry of Billesley’s history.
