FireCurb is designed for application on roofs and walls to offer high levels of flame retardency up to Class B whilst providing long term protection, effective vapour diffusion, greater energy efficiency and improved design flexibility. Offering a greater level of safety for occupants and firefighters, when flames meet FireCurb, they stop, die down and go[…]

Contractors dry lined the Oldroyd membrane using timber battens and plasterboard and then laid pointed brick slips on the lower portion of the wall, enabling the room to keep much of its original character due to the combination of plaster and brick.

The project uses 85% of recycled material to produce a building which can demonstrate ways in which to combat the 45% contribution to CO2 emissions created in the UK through architectural structures.

The conference will cover topics such as ‘Damp problems associated with retrofit insulation;’ ‘Use of silicone masonry water repellents in Europe;’ ‘Moisture in buildings’ and ‘New rising damp treatments.’ To reserve a place, contact Helen Lambert, Event Co-ordinator on [email protected].
