Discover Newton’s Waterproofing Design Partnership

Building Products Index Ltd Waterproof Membranes, waterproofing Leave a Comment

View the Newton Waterproofing entry on BPindex

Visit the Newton Waterproofing website

In the world of construction, effective collaboration is key to achieving outstanding results. Introducing the Waterproofing Design Partnership – a groundbreaking initiative that redefines how waterproofing projects are approached.

This innovative partnership brings together specifiers, suppliers, and contractors into a cohesive team, ensuring seamless integration throughout the design process, and delivers superior outcomes that minimise the risks  to the client.

By leveraging the collective expertise of all stakeholders, the Waterproofing Design Partnership sets a new standard for excellence in the industry, offering architects and specifiers a reliable solution for their waterproofing needs that is backed by professional indemnity insurance.

Working with the specifier, both Newton and our approved contractors can take full liability for the waterproofing at any design stage, acting as the designated waterproofing designer in partnership with the specifier as the principal designer.

The Structure of the Waterproofing Design Partnership

The Waterproofing Design Partnership brings together the client, the specifier, the supplier, and the contractor into a cohesive, unified team. This integrated approach ensures that every aspect of the waterproofing design is meticulously planned and executed, providing a seamless experience from start to finish.

Key Components of the Partnership

  • Client: The client’s needs are at the forefront of the design process, ensuring that the waterproofing solution is tailored to the intended use of the structure.
  • Specifier: The specifier works closely with both Newton’s in-house waterproofing designers and our specialist contractors to develop a robust and compliant waterproofing solution that is appropriate to the structure and the method of construction.
  • Supplier: Newton supplies an advanced range of waterproofing systems, including Type A, Type B and Type C systems as defined by British Standard 8102:2022, ensuring high-quality materials are used throughout the project.
  • Contractor: Newton’s nationwide network of approved contractors can also act as the waterproofing designer, taking liability under their own PI insurance, and are also responsible for the installation. They also provide insurance-backed guarantees for their work, ensuring peace of mind for the client.

Benefits of a Unified Approach

The Waterproofing Design Partnership offers numerous benefits, making it an essential consideration for architects and specifiers.

Compliance with British Standards

Newton’s Waterproofing Design Partnership ensures that your waterproofing design will meet with the stringent recommendations of British Standard 8102:2022, which is the Code of Practice for the Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water Ingress.

One of the Standard’s primary recommendations is that a waterproofing design specialist should be consulted at the earliest stage of a project, as well as being consulted on and approving of any design amendments which may impact the waterproofing.

By employing the services of the Waterproofing Design Partnership, you are ensuring that the waterproofing design meets the British Standard’s safety and performance requirements.

Meeting Building Safety Act Requirements

The partnership also meets the stringent requirements of the Building Safety Act, which demands that, if your level of cover doesn’t extend to specialisms like waterproofing, or if you lack the requisite competence or experience, then you must appoint another suitably qualified organisation to take responsibility for this aspect of the design.

By working with Newton and our approved contractors, specifiers can ensure that their projects meet all necessary regulations, providing a secure and compliant waterproofing solution.

Professional Indemnity Insurance Coverage

One of the standout features of the Waterproofing Design Partnership is the inclusion of a waterproofing specialist as part of the design team. Both Newton and our approved contractors meet this standard and can take full liability at any design stage, acting as the designated waterproofing designer as per BS 8102:2022 and the Building Safety Act. This coverage secures the quality of the design and provides the client with a guaranteed installation, offering unparalleled peace of mind.

Ensuring Quality Design and Guaranteed Installation

Specialist Expertise

Our specialist contractors work in partnership with Newton to provide the highest quality products, design, and installation in all aspects of domestic and commercial basement waterproofing. All contractor members adhere to strict criteria and are required to demonstrate quality workmanship, resulting in a meaningful scheme that provides unsurpassed technical excellence. We always recommend that an NSBC is involved in a project where a new-build or existing structure requires waterproofing.

Newton’s team of certified waterproofing specialists also bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every project. Their expertise in all aspects of structural waterproofing, in terms of both the design and installation, ensures that the waterproofing solution is effective and reliable.

Comprehensive Solutions

The partnership utilises Newton’s comprehensive range of waterproofing systems to deliver an integrated waterproofing solution that accounts for any project constraints, client requirements, structural considerations and regulatory compliance.

By selecting and combining appropriate systems, such as external and internal barrier systems, structurally integral waterproofing, and drained cavity systems, we ensure a comprehensive and effective waterproofing solution.

Guaranteed Installation

On design completion, Newton’s approved contractor takes the liability for the waterproofing under their own PI insurance. This ensures the quality of the installation and provides the client with a secure and reliable waterproofing solution, that will also be secured by the contractors’ own installation guarantee.

A Partnership Built on Trust

Trust is a fundamental component of the Waterproofing Design Partnership. By bringing together the client, specifier, supplier, and contractor, we are able to create and maintain a ‘golden thread’ of consistent waterproofing expertise throughout the design and installation process, as required by the Building Safety Act and ensuring the overall success of the project.

Market Leaders in Waterproofing

As market leaders in the waterproofing industry, we have a proven track record of delivering high-quality waterproofing solutions. Our commitment to excellence and innovation has earned us a reputation as a trusted partner for architects and specifiers.

Peace of Mind for Clients

The Waterproofing Design Partnership offers clients peace of mind, knowing that their project is in capable hands. From the initial design to the final installation, our team of experts and industry-leading specialist contractors ensure that every aspect of the waterproofing solution is meticulously planned and executed.

Meeting Tight Deadlines with Precision: The Successful Installation of Energy-Efficient Windows at Greenchurch Developments

Building Products Index Ltd Doors, PVC-U, PVC-U, Windows Leave a Comment

View the Eurocell entry on BPindex

Visit the Eurocell website

  • Project completed within a tight four-month deadline through close collaboration
  • The use of Ash Black windows provided the care home with a modern and vibrant aesthetic
  • The energy-efficient Logik Window System (U-value 1.2) helped reduce energy consumption
  • The Nu-Openings and Eurocell partnership delivered a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution that met health and safety standards.

Nu-Openings were commissioned to design and install a bespoke window system for Greenchurch Developments’ new-build care home in Doncaster. The project commenced in September with a strict completion deadline set for the end of January.

During the planning phase, Eurocell and Nu-Openings collaborated closely on the development of the window systems, with Eurocell overseeing the design and Nova Group, a long-standing fabricator partner of Eurocell, managing the supply of the windows and doors and Nu-Openings carrying out the installation.

Balancing Functionality and Modern Design

The brief provided to Nu-Openings emphasised the need for aesthetically pleasing windows, moving away from the traditional and often uninspiring designs typical of care homes.

Additionally, the windows had to accommodate thicker glass to mitigate the harshness of sunlight. One of the project’s significant challenges was the constrained four-month timeframe for completion.

Social facilities such as retirement homes, nursing homes, and hospitals must be designed to ensure the well-being of vulnerable individuals, which includes maintaining appropriate temperature control.

Therefore, it was essential for the care home windows to meet a range of health and safety requirements, including the installation of window restrictors and tamper-proof glass.

Selecting the Eurocell Logik Window system for Performance and Style

Nu-Openings and Eurocell collaborated closely during the initial planning stages to develop a bespoke window system that met the project’s specific requirements.

They selected the Logik 70mm Window System in the Chamfered design with an Ash Black finish. This design choice provided a sleek and modern look that contrasted effectively against the building’s cladding, fulfilling the aesthetic criteria outlined in the brief.

A key reason for choosing the Logik Window System from Eurocell was its capacity to hold thicker glass, necessary for reducing the harshness of sunlight penetrating the care home. This combination of aesthetic appeal, functional performance, and sustainability made the Logik Window System an ideal solution for the project.

Despite the tight timeframe, Nu-Openings successfully completed the project through efficient collaboration. The chosen Ash Black colour contrasted perfectly against the cladding, giving the care home an aesthetically pleasing and vibrant appearance.

Steve Carvell of Nu-Openings stated, “The collaboration between us and Eurocell was fundamental to making the project run smoothly. Because of its success, the outcome, especially the colours, looked beautiful, leaving the client very happy.”

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency

The windows, with a U-value of 1.2, ensure minimal heat transfer. This, combined with improved heat radiation, ventilation, and thermal properties, contributes to the building using less energy for temperature regulation. As a result, the care home maintains a standard temperature between 18-20 degrees Celsius.

Kelly Hibbert, Head of Commercial Sales at Eurocell, commented, “This project exemplified excellent collaboration between Nu-Openings and Eurocell. We are thrilled to have contributed to the design and delivery of a beautiful new care home.

The project ran smoothly despite the tight timeframe, demonstrating Eurocell’s commitment to high standards in product solutions, aesthetics and sustainability. We take these specifics very seriously to ensure all our clients can enhance their green credentials while creating a beautiful space.”

As the Loss Prevention Standard changes to mandate use of compliant fire valves: Keraflo’s Fire Valves first ever to achieve LPCB accreditation

Building Products Index Ltd Fire valves Leave a Comment

View the Keraflo entry on BPindex

Visit the Keraflo website

 

Keraflo’s innovative Fire Valves have become the first ever to receive important accreditation from the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), a division of the Building Research Establishment (BRE). This significant endorsement highlights the exceptional standards and build quality of Keraflo’s products, setting a new benchmark for the performance of fire safety in commercial buildings.

The path to LPCB accreditation requires products to undergo stringent and rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest safety and performance standards. Keraflo’s Fire Valves have been subjected to these exacting tests, demonstrating their robust design, reliability and efficiency in critical fire safety applications.

Designed with advanced features to provide reliable performance in emergency situations, the valves are built to withstand harsh conditions and maintain functionality over extended periods, ensuring that they operate effectively during a fire event to manage water flow and pressure. Designed for compatibility with a wide range of fire protection systems, the valves can be seamlessly integrated into new installations or retrofitted into existing systems.

Highlighting Keraflo’s commitment to unrivalled quality and assurance, the rigorous BRE testing process has enabled the Fire Valve range to boast an unprecedented 10-year warranty. This is 10 times the industry standard and provides unparalleled peace of mind.

“The accreditation for Keraflo comes at an important time in the industry,” explains Richard Braid, Managing Director of Keraflo. “The LPS 1276 standard, issued in December 2018, mandates that contractors must use valves conforming to LPS 2083. However, until recently, LPS 2083 only existed in draft form, leading to varying interpretations and the use of alternative, , products. This ambiguity ended on May 23, 2024, when LPS 2083 became an integral part of the LPS 1276 standard, prohibiting the use of non-compliant alternatives.”

The integration of LPS 2083 into the LPS 1276 standard is a critical step forward for fire safety. This standard outlines the requirements for the design, installation and maintenance of fire protection systems, ensuring that all components work together seamlessly to provide optimal protection. The inclusion of LPS 2083 means that fire valves used in commercial buildings should now meet these rigorous standards, eliminating the risk posed by alternatives. This change is expected to save lives by ensuring that all fire protection systems are capable of performing their intended functions under real-world conditions.

“Contractors will need to ensure that all new installations are compliant and existing systems are updated to meet the new standards,” continues Richard.

“For building owners and managers, it offers an opportunity to reassess their fire protection strategies and install appropriate systems that provide the highest level of protection. The use of LPCB-accredited products like Keraflo’s Fire Valves will not only ensure compliance but also enhance the overall safety profile of their buildings.”

For contractors, building owners and fire safety professionals, the adoption of Keraflo’s Fire Valves represents a critical step forward in enhancing fire protection and ensuring the safety of occupants in commercial and public buildings.

The Rise Of The Paint Sprayer

Building Products Index Ltd Paint Leave a Comment

View the Brewers entry on BPindex

Visit the Brewers website

Spray Machines have taken the decorating world by storm in recent years, with many decorators choosing to down their traditional tools in favour of something that sets their decorating apart from the rest…but what is all the fuss about? Here we delve into paint spraying and why it might be the very thing you need for your business.

Redefining Efficiency In The Industry

It’s no secret that with a paint sprayer, you can cover a much larger area than a traditional brush or roller in a fraction of the time. This allows you to cover extensive areas with ease including large domestic properties or even larger commercial premises.

Paint sprayers evenly distribute paint as well, reducing the need to spend time creating an even coat with a brush or roller. What could take hours with a brush would take a paint sprayer minutes to achieve.

This is also likely to attract customers. Knowing that they can enjoy a refreshed space in a fraction of the time would greatly increase the likelihood of a new client.

But Isn’t Paint Spraying Costly?

Yes, it is an investment that’s for sure. However, paint sprayers have been designed to stand the test of time, using durable materials and cutting-edge technology to ensure you only buy once.

When calculating return on investment, you need to consider how much you save in time and labour costs as well as the scope of jobs you can now take on with spraying equipment. You might find that the machine pays for itself in just a few jobs.

Find the right spray machine for you and your business>>
