It’s the Awards season so congratulations to Aspire Housing for winning the top NHIC Award; Alumasc Facades for winning 4 INCA Awards, including Project of Year; and to Recofloor for winning the Green Apple Gold Award for recycling.
As well as the latest new product and projects featured below, we also have some great feature stories from the ABC&D magazine ; plus Knauf Insulation on the impact of the latest Part L Regulations on achieving zero carbon homes.
And finally, we report on a call for mandatory fitting of CCTV in all new domestic and commercial premises to reduce crime.
