Insulation Updates REACH FOR THE STARLOCK Chris McGee, Managing Director at Lasercut.London Ltd, attended the FFX show earlier this year to purchase a Multi-Talent kit. He explained: “Regretfully FEIN wasn’t my first choice, however alternatives offered plug-in tools and the price was hard to justify for the potential usage it would see in my hands. After borrowing a FEIN product from a friend, I knew I had to add one to the ranks, so I decided to visit the FFX show in Kent with my 3- month-old boy. “I had a great chat to the FEIN team, and after testing I knew that the 12v Multi-Talent Kit was the right one for me. The Starlock system wowed me, as it was so easy to change cutters so quickly, and I could see how snuggly the tool held the piece, so I knew it would cut smoothly, and I purchased a ‘Best of E-Cut pack’ with it too! The Best of E-Cut pack is FEIN UK’s first ‘official’ value pack for its UK customers, offering an assortment of the best cutters that can be used commonly on typical applications faced by tradespeople ‘on the job’. This year, FEIN UK is proud also to have announced the launch of four more additional value packs. www.fein.com/en_uk/ SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN Isover’s Metac range of insulation has recently been tested to show that it can achieve outstanding noise reduction within pitched roof rafter applications. Independent testing, by the University of Salford, has found that in addition to excellent thermal performance, Metac can achieve a reduction of up to 49dB for externally generated airborne sound. Sarah Buchanan of Isover said: “Our 2 in 1 acoustic and thermal insulation solution, Metac, offers housebuilders the opportunity to add value and improve the acoustic performance of the houses they build, without adding additional cost.” www.isover.co.uk/metac2in1 POSITIVE EVIRONMENTAL IMPACT RAVATHERM UK has boosted the environmental credentials of its POLYFOAM extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation, achieving a BRE Certified Green Guide rating of A+ for all products manufactured at its Hartlepool factory. POLYFOAM XPS was the first extruded polystyrene product range to be independently assessed by BRE. The insulation has already achieved a BES 6001: Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products certification and has been issued Product-Specific Type 111 Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) through BRE’s EN 15804 EPD Verification Scheme for products in the POLYFOAM Extra and Standard range. www.ravatherm.co.uk ALL THE RIGHT NOISES Thanks to a pioneering approach from ROCKWOOL that is based on acoustic performance test data and use of its BBA approved A1 rated RAINSCREEN DUO SLAB insulation product, the new Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express at London Heathrow Terminal 4 will be providing visitors with a peaceful and tranquil stay when it opens later this year. Using test results from its Rainscreen Acoustic Reference Guide, and working closely with SD Samuels, ROCKWOOL was able to demonstrate the exceptional performance capabilities of its 150mm RAINSCREEN DUO SLAB product for the hotel development project. www.rockwool.co.uk 68 TC AUGUST <strong>2018</strong>
