MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES WITH
REGULAR SERVICING OF MOVEABLE WALLS
Demand for the routine servicing of moveable walls and folding partitions
has been on the rise as the need
for maintaining flexible space has
become essential due to social
distancing rules.
According to Jovan Nel, head of
Style’s moveable wall service and
repair division, the need to ensure
that operable walls are in good
working order has caused a surge in
demand.
“Businesses, hotels, schools,
colleges, universities, local authority venues, community centres and healthcare
trusts have been booking our technicians to carry out routine servicing and
inspections while lockdown restrictions eased,” said Jovan.
“With a need to maintain social distancing, and with the rules now becoming
a moving feast regarding numbers of people allowed in one area together, it’s
never been so important to ensure your moveable and folding walls are in good
working order.
“With a team of nationwide technicians operating from Style’s four regional
o ices, which are spread evenly across the south, midlands, northern England
and Scotland, we have engineers in all parts of the country who are fully trained
and experienced to work on all makes and types of folding partition systems.
“All engineers are fully accredited to service, operate and repair all makes of
moveable wall, even if Style didn’t install it, from fully automatic systems to
simple folding partitions.”

FORBO REAFFIRMS MARMOLEUM’S
CARBON NEUTRALITY
As part of its Live Forward campaign, Forbo Flooring Systems is underlining its
commitment to sustainability and minimising the environmental impact of its
products and processes wherever possible. This includes highlighting that its
linoleum product, Marmoleum, is CO neutral
without carbon o set and is manufactured
from 97% natural raw materials - using linseed
instead of plastics.
Unlike many vinyl or resilient floor coverings,
Marmoleum does not use plastics such as
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and is instead made
from 97% natural raw materials. This includes
flax, jute and linseed oil, which are obtained
from annual crops, and wood flour and
pine rosin that are sourced from sustainably
managed forestry plantations. In fact, 62%
of the natural ingredients are renewable, of
which 29% are rapidly renewable, meaning it
will grow back within one year. Marmoleum also boasts 43% reused and recycled
content to reduce the demand for virgin raw materials.
The carbon neutrality of Forbo’s 2.5mm Marmoleum from cradle to gate
is confirmed by the independent Environmental Product Declaration (EPD),
which shows that the CO removed from the atmosphere during the growing
of its natural ingredients balances out the CO produced in the extraction,
transportation and manufacturing processes. For specifiers and contractors
this means that, for example, using Marmoleum 2.5mm on a 10,000sqm project
could equate to a 66,200kg/CO saving when compared to a PVC vinyl floor..

TECHNOLOGY BUILDING BENEFITS FROM
KINGSPAN TECHNICAL INSULATION
Coventry University is laying the groundwork for future developments in STEM
with a new, state-of-the-art postgraduate facility, the Beatrice Shilling Building,
completed with a building service specification featuring premium performance
Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation and Kingspan Therma Duct Insulation.
As part of its commitment to reduce its carbon emissions by 20% relative to a
baseline period of 2008-9, the University has developed a sustainable building
framework which focuses on full lifecycle emissions and costings for new
buildings. The Beatrice Shilling Building was the first to be constructed under
this framework and this contributed
to the specification of over 7000m
Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation
for all domestic, heating and chilled
water service pipework across the
building whilst 400m Kingspan
Therma Duct Insulation was fitted
on external ductwork.
With an aged thermal conductivity
as low as 0.025 W/mK (at 10 °C),
Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation
e ectively limits heat loss from system pipework with a reduced thickness
than would be possible with other, lower performing materials. This design will
help to limit the long-term heating energy demand and carbon footprint of the
building whilst supporting a simpler lagging process for installers.
The Kingspan Therma Duct insulation used around the external ductwork is
specially designed to insulate ductwork and associated outdoor equipment
operating in a temperature range of –20°C to +80°C.
