In this case study, we take a detailed look at the role of Axis Entrance Systems in the development of the stunning new Surgical Centre at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, for Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.

PROJECT:

The new build Surgical Centre is not only to be used for operations and endoscopies but also replaces the old critical care unit. It comprises six endoscopy rooms, patient recovery and clinical support areas, eight operating theatres and 22 critical care beds for level two and three critical care patients.

The brief for Axis Entrance Systems, from the project’s architects BDP (Building Design Partnership) and main contractor Kier was to manufacture, supply and install 24 door sets and multiple fixed glazed screens – with all door sets specified from Axis’ own multi-award-winning Flo-motion® range of low-friction manual sliding doors.

CHALLENGES:

With the project brilliantly run by BDP and Kier Construction and having worked with both companies before, the challenges Axis had were minimal and restricted to the variety of clear-opening widths required, which ranged from 1550mm up to 1895mm.

SOLUTION:

As the innovators and manufacturers of Flo-Motion® doors, developed specifically for healthcare settings and first installed at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in 2015, Axis’ experience and technical ability to adapt hybrid versions of each door type ensured all aspects of our brief could be fulfilled.

Overall, Axis manufactured, supplied and installed these door sets:

  • 2 x Flo-Motion® E32 (single door, sliding over a wall) with a clear opening width of 1895mm
  • 5 x Flo-Motion® F12 (single door, sliding over a glazed screen) with a clear opening of 1550mm
  • 8 x Flo-Motion® F11 (single door, sliding over a glazed screen) with a clear opening width of 1550mm
  • 1 x Flo-Motion® F11 (single door, sliding over a glazed screen) with a clear opening width of 1745mm
  • 5 x Flo-Motion® F01 (single door, sliding over a glazed screen and a wall) with a clear opening width of 1550mm
  • 3 x Flo-Motion® F01 (single door, sliding over a glazed screen and a wall) with a clear opening width of 1745mm

FORCE TESTING:

Once installed, all door sets were force tested three times and certificates produced with the mean average reading for the 24 doors being 10.74N. Notably, the heaviest doors, which were the E32 type with 1895mm clear opening widths were tested at 8.3N and 11.8N.

OUTCOME:

The Axis Flo-Motion® door sets and glazed panels provide many significant benefits for patients, staff and visitors to the new Surgical Centre at Musgrove Park Hospital, including:

  • Large sliding doors that are easy to open and close for users of all strengths and abilities
  • Excellent light transfer that also maximises the feeling of spaciousness
  • An attractive, efficient & effective environment for staff, patients & visitors

TALKING ABOUT AXIS:

Paul Ingram, Senior Project Manager at Kier:

“Throughout design and installation, Axis were very professional, pro-active, and excellent communicators – a pleasure to work with!

“Their installation was of a very high standard and completed within our agreed timescale.

“We happily recommend Axis and will use them again on our future projects.”

The Summer Holidays: A Perfect Window for Schools to Upgrade Washrooms, Save Water and Cut Costs

Visit the Cistermiser website

As schools across the UK prepare to close their doors for the six-week summer break, now is the ideal time to undertake essential maintenance and facility upgrades without disrupting the academic calendar. Cistermiser, the UK’s leading provider of commercial washroom water management solutions, is urging schools to use this period to modernise their washroom facilities, highlighting that upgrading to water-efficient technologies can significantly reduce water consumption, lower carbon emissions, and ease the strain on stretched school budgets.

“School washrooms endure heavy, continuous use throughout the term. In many educational settings, outdated plumbing and inefficient fixtures lead to substantial water wastage,” says Richard Braid, Managing Director of Cistermiser. “A common issue raised by student councils and site managers alike is the failure of pupils to flush toilets or turn off taps, which not only creates hygiene concerns but also drives up utility bills. Not only that, but leaky loos are costing schools thousands of pounds. All of these issues can be solved by a little planning, right now.”

“Upgrading washroom facilities is not merely about improving aesthetics; it is a strategic financial decision. By reducing water usage, schools can directly lower their utility costs, freeing up essential funds that can be redirected toward educational resources and student support. Furthermore, lowering water consumption inherently reduces a school’s carbon footprint, supporting broader environmental and sustainability targets.”

A compelling example of how to tackle these challenges head-on can be found at Cathays High School in Cardiff. A mixed-sex, multi-faith school with approximately one thousand pupils, Cathays High School faced a perennial problem: representatives from the student-elected School Committee regularly complained that boys frequently failed to flush the toilets after use.

Determined to find a solution, the Site Manager, Sue Petryna, contacted Cistermiser. The team visited the school to review the issue firsthand. They recognised that a standard infrared “wave” sensor might be ignored just as easily as a manual flush handle. Working closely with their R&D Department, Cistermiser proposed the Easyflush system featuring innovative “walkaway” operation.

This “hands-free” flushing system automatically triggers a flush whenever a user gets up or walks away from the toilet. The intelligent infrared sensors operate on a dual-flush mechanism, delivering a part flush if the user leaves within 45 seconds, or a full flush if that period is exceeded. This method ensures hygiene while restricting water use to an absolute minimum.

To assist schools in understanding their potential savings, Cistermiser is offering a Free Water Survey.

“Don’t let the empty corridors of the summer holidays go to waste,” says Richard. “Book your free water survey and help your school create a cleaner, greener and more cost-effective environment for the new academic year.”

Building Products Index Ltd Brick slip cladding, Cladding Leave a Comment

View the Eurobrick entry on BPindex

Visit the Eurobrick website

For architects and specifiers, selecting the right façade is about more than aesthetics. Performance, buildability, compliance, and build programme all play a critical role in delivering successful outcomes. Eurobrick offers brick cladding systems designed to meet the demands of modern construction, while providing the authentic appearance of traditional brick.

Each system from Eurobrick has been developed to suit specific project requirements, ensuring versatility across different sectors, building types and functions.

CLADDING SYSTEMS

A-Clad is a complete non-combustible rainscreen system, designed for use on buildings to any height. Ideal for fast-track construction it is fixed to aluminium cladding rails. This system is rated A1 (non-combustible) under Euro classification for reaction to fire and is a robust solution for both performance and safety. As Eurobrick’s newest system, so far A-Clad has been used on apartment buildings, police facilities and lift shafts.

X-Clad is a versatile external wall insulation system that can be installed both on and off-site. X-Clad is available in different thicknesses and is well suited for modular and new build projects as well as improving the energy efficiency of older properties. Recent projects using X-Clad include the extension and renovation of an Edwardian property in Wimbledon, covering an old rendered façade and seamlessly joining to the new part of the house to create a contemporary finish.

P-Clad is a proven rainscreen system widely specified for its slim profile, durability and ease of installation where a wall cavity is required. Suitable for a range of building types, it delivers a dependable solution for new build, refurbishment/remodelling projects. Parkside at the Imperial War Museum in London used P-Clad as it allowed for the creation of a technically challenging finish made up of vertical and horizontal stretcher bond patterns with a relief effect and Eurobrick also supplied specially manufactured soffits and sills.

I-Clad is specifically designed for both commercial and domestic interiors. It can be fixed to battens, timber frame or light gauge steel stud walling systems, providing a brick finish that saves on internal space. It is also lightweight, quick and easy to install. A characterful loft style finish was created at The Hoxton, Southwark using I-Clad and St Ives Cream Rustica brick slips from Eurobrick’s Classic range of slips.

V-Clad is a budget system for smaller projects which can be used on interior or exterior walls and fitted directly to masonry and concrete to improve internal living conditions. Ideal for both renovation and new builds, it is lightweight and easy to install.

How to choose the right exterior filler

Building Products Index Ltd Filler Leave a Comment

View the Toupret entry on BPindex

Visit the Toupret website

Toupret’s exterior powder fillers can handle a far wider range of repairs than most people realise.  All three powder fillers mix on site, apply to any depth in a single coat, and can be shaped by hand without formwork. That means that jobs that require filling, shaping and repairing are all achievable with a single filler and a trowel with no multiple application stages.

As well as being able to carry out these kinds of repairs, each filler has its own unique capabilities. Masonry Repair Filler, for example, adheres to damp substrates, which is commonly found in older housing, north-facing substrates and surfaces that have held moisture after wet weather. It is formulated specifically for bare masonry, so it is the product to specify when working back to the substrate. Worth noting: Masonry Repair should not be applied over painted surfaces, so it is the one to reach for when you are starting from scratch on the wall itself.

For repairs on existing painted surfaces, both Rock Solid Repair Filler and Tough Multi-Filler are your go-to. Their ability to adhere to paintwork opens up a significant range of patch and repair work that would otherwise require a full strip-back. Rock Solid Repair Filler sets hard and is the right call for heavy duty repairs in areas that demand strength – corners, window sill ledges, exposed copings, and other details that take the brunt of weathering.

Tough Multi-Filler is the versatile option – and the only one in the range that handles both filling and skimming. Fibre reinforced for added strength, it takes a surface from repair to a finish-ready skim in a single product, with paint-next-day capability that keeps the decorating schedule on track.

Each product is built for a specific set of conditions, but all three share the same practical foundation: fill to any depth in a single coat, no formwork required, shapeable by hand on site. Whichever is right for the job, it will handle what the repair demands – including when that turns out to be more than first expected. The right product for the problem, with the capability to see it through.

Cedral fibre cement facades for design, resilience and futureproofing

Building Products Index Ltd Cladding, Facade Leave a Comment

View the Cedral entry on BPindex

Visit the Cedral website

We anticipate that advancements in sustainable construction will continue at a rapid pace, transforming home design.

Cedral’s survey of 250 architects and installers for its recent White paper, ‘Building the Future’ examines how the increasing focus on sustainability and climate resilience has brought about a shift towards eco-friendly materials. The majority (96%) of respondents say climate change is affecting facade design and specification choices in one or more ways. Nearly a third of the architects say they anticipate more retrofit projects over the next three years.

The study also reports on the rise of durable, non-combustible cladding to enhance energy efficiency and climate resilience. Upgrading tired timber facades to fibre cement cladding is becoming an increasingly common retrofit choice across the UK. Retrofitting from timber to fibre cement is more than a cosmetic upgrade. Cladding can preserve the life of older buildings by providing a stylish contemporary update for unsightly faded paintwork or render. A ventilated facade, where the cladding doesn’t sit directly against the insulation, improves energy efficiency, enabling the rapid drying of external walls, reducing condensation and humidity.  Download the full report here.

Why choose Cedral

Sustainable building products are more important than ever for as architects and developers seek to ensure that their projects are responsibly designed, resourced and built. The innovations in fibre cement technology are creating high performing materials which are lighter, thinner and ultimately stronger. Fibre cement which is made of cement, water, cellulose, textile fibres and air can help improve circularity and carbonation impact. A strong, versatile and sustainable material, it uses fewer raw materials and less energy in its manufacture and produces less waste than some traditional building materials. 

Cedral, part of Etex, has a deep-rooted history and heritage of over 100 years’ experience, perfecting the manufacturing of fibre cement building materials.

Cedral is committed to continuously improving existing materials and to driving innovation. Whether it’s for a new build or a renovation project, Cedral has a range of products for facades and roofs of exceptional quality and high performance.

Features of Cedral include:

 

•             Fire Performance Classification: Cedral products are Class 0 and EN 13501-1 fire performance classified to A2-s1, d0 which is one of the best classification ratings that can be achieved.

 

•             Low maintenance, resistant to rot and warping: Fibre cement doesn’t rot or rust and lasts longer than traditional cladding materials. Thanks to its thermal stability it will not warp or crack under high temperatures.

 

•             Stands up to the harshest weather conditions: Fibre cement can withstand severe frosts, torrential rain, high heat and direct sunlight and has a minimum life expectancy of 50 years. 

 

•             Light-weight building material: With the layered production and fibre matrix supporting the cement, fibre cement roof tiles are thinner than concrete, but have the same performance benefits. 

 

•             Style and creativity for a home’s exterior: Cedral cladding is available in a wide variety of finishes and colour choices. Boards can be mounted vertically or horizontally to create a contemporary aesthetic or a more traditional look.

Marley launches Edgemere 2.0, the first UK roof tile to use carbon-capture cement technology

Building Products Index Ltd Roofing, Tiles Leave a Comment

View the Marley entry on BPindex

Visit the Marley website

In a first for UK roofing, Edgemere 2.0 combines Marley’s familiar concrete roof tile specification with carbon-capture cement technology and Carbon Bank evidence supplied for every order.

The carbon reduction story behind Edgemere 2.0* begins with the cement. CO₂ from cement production is captured at source, before it enters the atmosphere, and permanently stored beneath the seabed. The carbon reduction is then recorded in the publicly available Carbon Bank, which allocates captured and stored CO₂ reductions to specific Edgemere 2.0 orders, with full end-to-end traceability through an Environmental Attribute Certificate (EAC).

The launch responds to a market in which embodied-carbon evidence is moving from optional to expected. For the public sector and increasingly housing providers, product-level carbon evidence is becoming part of the specification process.

Sustainability leads, along with quantity surveyors and architects, are frequently asked to produce verifiable, product-level carbon evidence and do so without redrawing details or rewriting specifications.

Edgemere 2.0 expands the Edgemere range by offering a low carbon option with a Global Warming Potential (GWP Fossil) of just 1.86kg CO2e per m² from cradle to gate, whilst retaining the familiar thin leading edge, technical performance and dimensions of Edgemere together with a Green Guide A+ rating and BES 6001 Excellent certification.

The change is behind the tile: in the and the addition of verified, order-specific documentation. The Carbon Bank allocates reductions from actual captured and stored CO₂, to specific Edgemere 2.0 orders, with ownership of the EAC transferring to the final customer.

“Edgemere 2.0 is a significant step forward for Marley and for the roofing industry,” said Stuart Nicholson, Managing Director at Marley. “By introducing the UK’s first concrete roof tile to use carbon-capture cement technology, we’re supporting the industry’s transition to lower-carbon construction, with a documented carbon-evidence trail supplied for every Edgemere 2.0 order.”

Edgemere 2.0 is available in Smooth Grey. For more information, or to discuss your next project with one of our specification experts, visit www.marley.co.uk/Edgemere2

About the carbon evidence and end-to-end traceability

*Edgemere 2.0 is supported by Heidelberg Materials’ evoZero® carbon captured near-zero cement, enabled through the first carbon capture facility at its cement works in Brevik, Norway. To avoid the transport emissions that would be incurred by shipping from Brevik, Edgemere 2.0 CO₂ reduction can be transferred and attributed to locally sourced Heidelberg Materials cement.

A Carbon Bank withdrawal is made to reduce the corresponding Global Warming Potential (GWP Fossil) of the locally produced UK cement to zero.  The carbon reduction is recorded in Heidelberg Materials’ publicly available Carbon Bank, which allocates captured and stored CO₂ reductions to each specific Edgemere 2.0 order, with full end-to-end traceability through an Environmental Attribute Certificate (EAC).
