Norbord Announces Second<br />
#SterlingShots Competition<br />
Winner<br />
Norbord has<br />
announced the<br />
winner of May’s<br />
S t e r l i n g O S B<br />
# S t e r l i n g S h o t s<br />
social media<br />
competition. John<br />
T e n n a n t<br />
(@littlejonjoiner), a<br />
joiner from<br />
Accrington, is the<br />
latest winner of<br />
£100 worth of<br />
Love2Shop vouchers after entering the<br />
#SterlingShots monthly competition by sending<br />
in a photograph of SterlingOSB in action to<br />
Twitter (@Sterling_OSB). John used<br />
SterlingOSB to create a unique kitchen<br />
cupboard and has used the building material<br />
numerous times before when building office<br />
furniture or boxing pipes in bathrooms and<br />
roofing. “I chose to use SterlingOSB as it is a<br />
strong and reliable product. It’s easy to work<br />
with and cheaper than plywood – plus it has a<br />
lot more character, It’s a product that I will<br />
definitely carry on using and I am hoping to use<br />
it to make my son a new bed!” Members of the<br />
public can enter the competition by sending a<br />
photograph of any SterlingOSB they spot being<br />
used to the SterlingOSB Twitter or Facebook<br />
pages, and using the hashtag #SterlingShots.<br />

Pulling Together<br />
When sections of the existing roof covering the<br />
Ryde Arena Ice Rink on the Isle of Wight were<br />
torn from the building and blown into the car<br />
park, the rink was forced to close immediately.<br />
Following further bad weather, restricting<br />
repairs and more water ingress, local roofing<br />
company Heathfield Developments, with the<br />
help of local Jewson branch, Manners View and<br />
Icopal’s roofing solution, looked to rectify the<br />
issue as quickly as possible. Sunny Lotay of<br />
Jewson met with the owner of Heathfield<br />
Developments on site to discuss the various<br />
flat roofing solutions on offer. Icopal’s<br />
Enviroflex liquid applied waterproofing<br />
membrane was proposed as part of a new<br />
warm roof insulated build up. Enviroflex is a<br />
single component polyurethane based,<br />
moisture curing coating, applied in multiple<br />
layers in conjunction with a polyester<br />
reinforcing fleece. The coating is vapour<br />
permeable and suitable for use on both new<br />
build and remedial projects. The Enviroflex<br />
membrane was chosen for its user-friendly<br />
characteristics: being VOC free, quick curing,<br />
low odour and high vapour permeability,<br />
making it the ideal choice to install quickly to<br />
minimise any further damage. The repair<br />
works were successfully completed in February<br />
2016 and the ice rink re-opened to the public<br />
shortly after. For more information visit<br />

Insulating a Difficult Roof?<br />
Squeezing a<br />
better thermal<br />
performance out<br />
of your roof<br />
r e f u r b i s h m e n t<br />
doesn’t mean a<br />
raised roof line.<br />
Thanks to a new generation of insulating<br />
breather membranes, rafter level insulation<br />
upgrades are an efficient way of upgrading,<br />
managing condensation and retaining the<br />
roofline of the building. LABC-Registered<br />
PhotonAir is fully breathable, easy to install,<br />
air-open and doesn’t need counter battening, it<br />
is draped over rafters like a conventional<br />
breather membrane, side-stepping the need to<br />
raise the roof.<br />
l Moisture permeable lath and plaster<br />
ceilings - PhotonAir better manages<br />
condensation<br />
l Exposed purlins and rafters, (vapour barrier<br />
isn’t practical) – PhotonAir presents no<br />
condensation risk<br />
l Social housing – PhotonAir improves the<br />
thermal performance of a group of adjoining<br />
properties without raising roof height or<br />
disturbing occupants/interior finish<br />
l Where 50% of the roof is being refurbished<br />
requiring an insulation upgrade - PhotonAir<br />
leaves a roof watertight in a day<br />
l Where the standard is not technically,<br />
functionally or economically feasible, any<br />
thermal element should be upgraded to the<br />
best standards achievable - PhotonAir<br />
achieves a U-value of 0.60 in 75mm rafter at<br />
400mm spacing<br />
l Air-open PhotonAir is the most breathable<br />
insulating breather membrane. NHBC<br />
accepts it without a supporting ridge or high<br />
level ventilation.<br />
