REI Mar-Apr 2012 - Renewable Energy Installer

Scheuco doubles up
Schueco UK is the lead sponsor of
Ecobuild 2012 and has stands in both
halls. The company is showing examples
of its aluminium and steel systems plus
its latest solar energy products, some of
which are new to the UK and all of which, it
says, underlines its status as a world-class
company.
The solar products on display
aim to demonstrate the full range of
Schueco’s solar offering and include a
roof-mounted display of thermal collectors
and PV modules from the company’s
Premium and Compact Line systems; an
array of ProSol TF thin-film PV modules
installed on Schueco’s east/west flat-roof
mounting system; current pump-stations
and controllers together with a newly
introduced controller and pump; roof
anchors and under-construction, a range
of inverters and a Sunalyzer Web PR data
logger. There is also a working e-bike

Deks UK will be exhibiting its full
range of flashing solutions for solar
thermal and PV installations.
The company say that its
Solardek flashing provides a safe,
efficient method of flashing solar
thermal pipes and cables on tile and
slate roofs. The Solardek features a
Nu-lead base designed not to stain
or corrode the roof together with the
Dektite EPDM or silicone cone. Also
available is an aluminium base aimed
for installation on slate roofs.
According to Deks UK, its
recently launched Dektite Multicable
allows up to 10 cables to be taken
effectively through any tile or slate
roof. Its use avoids risk of damage
or pressure on cables by isolating
from tiles or slates and provides a
complete weatherproof seal. It is also
available with a lead or aluminium
base.
The company will also exhibit
the Dektite Premium solar flashings
for installations on metal roofs.
Deks UK adds that the DFE100
and DFE101 are multi-application
flashings available in either EPDM
or silicone and feature an aluminium
band which allows the flashing to be
formed over most metal roof profiles.
Also on show will be Deks’
Perform flexible roof which acts as
a replacement for lead. Perform is a
composite consisting of aluminium
mesh, embedded in polymer rubber.
Both of these materials, says Deks
UK, are environmentally sound and
UV resistant. Suitable for many
different applications it has the
functionality of lead, is non-toxic and
is available in four colours.

illustrating the diverse ways in which solar
power may be used.
A number of the aluminium and steel
systems being shown continue the solar
energy theme with full-size examples of
aluminium windows and sliding doors
incorporating ProSol TF thin-film PV
technology, together with a ProSol-enabled
brise soleil. The company also says that
a heavily insulated door and façade that
meet PassivHaus standards show its
commitment to energy efficiency, while the
Janisol Arte insulated steel replacement
window from Schueco Jansen recently won
a Gold Design Award at France’s building
exhibition, Batimat 2011.
