DaniAlu_Barrial_V_Image_1Barrial V is the latest roof edge protection system to be introduced by Dani Alu (UK) Ltd. A freestanding vertical railing system for use as non-public roof edge protection. Almost all edge protection systems are produced with horizontal railings, but the standards 13374-A and 14122-3 allow for a vertical railing system with gaps between the rails at no more than 250 mm centres. Edge protection is such a visible element of any building and Barrial V can add a much improved aesthetic to any building elevation.

Barrial ‘V’ is available with a choice of:

  • Vertical railings at 100 mm or 200 mm centres
  • Vertical height adjustment up to 1300 mm from the base of the system to accommodate green roof / stones / pitch to fall roof areas.
  • Mill finished or Powder Coated to any standard RAL colour choice

Barrial ‘V’ is just one product series in the uncompromising range of aluminium roof edge protection systems available from Dani Alu (UK) Ltd www.danialu.co.uk/cat/guardrails .

What cost is compliance?

BSEN13374_Guardrail_Dimensions copyIMG_0252Did you know that a roof edge must have a parapet of at least 150 mm present for a standard system to meet compliance of 13374-A (100 mm for 14122-3).  If it is lower any systems must have a toe board installed.  Along with loading criteria, there are simple design rules to meet the current standards, but all too often projects are supplied without (why you may ask) and the building user left unaware.  Barrial is always specified correctly for the individual roof situation.  Every Barrial configuration can prove independent testing to the appropriate standard and every order follows a strict installation guide to guarantee conformity – the safest option to secure your roof space.

It doesn’t cost to do things right, more so when you don’t.  As for the price, well you might just be surprised that to do things right, doesn’t always come at a £££££ !

Greenbarnes Ltd announce a new resource for specifying external noticeboards

BPI-1Greenbarnes Ltd, as one of the UK’s leading supplier of external noticeboards to both public and private sector clients is pleased to announce a completely new resource for anyone with a need to specify and source external noticeboards and poster cases.

 

BPI-2The company’s completely new website at www.greenbarnes.co.uk features probably the widest selection of external noticeboards available in the UK from a single source and includes boards manufactured in a variety of materials ranging including hardwood (oak), maintenance-free Man-made Timber (recycled plastics) and aluminium.

BPI-3Not only are users able to browse the full Greenbarnes range (which at the time of writing encompasses 175 external noticeboards and countless poster cases) but, more importantly, they can take advantage of the myriad of available options and accessories to build boards to their required specification and even buy them online.

BPI-4Customers are guided through the process ensuring they cannot “go wrong”, meaning that it is impossible for them to specify something which cannot be delivered. Where appropriate, at each stage, helpful information and explanation is available via tooltips.

 

BPI-5Specifications can be saved at any stage and added to a “wish list” enabling the user to return to them later for completion or modification.  Once a specification has been saved to the wish list it can be printed (ideal for taking to a meeting for further discussion) or forwarded directly to Greenbarnes in order to request a formal quotation.

One further useful feature, particularly if there is a need to discuss the specification with other stakeholders, is the “Print All Options” button, which not only shows the options currently chosen but also all the alternative options at each stage, the circumstances in which they are available and their related costs.

Howe Green Medium Duty Floor Access Covers – Tried, tested and trusted

Building Products Index Ltd access covers Leave a Comment

7500Aluminium (2)The first product designed and manufactured by Howe Green when it opened for business in 1983 was an aluminium medium duty access cover, then known as the 750 Series.

Over the past 34 years that original floor access cover has been developed and refined into the product on offer today – the 7500 Series.  Used in high profile projects around the world the 7500 Series has proven it is a robust, safe and effective floor access solution. It remains the most popular product in the wide portfolio of floor, wall and ceiling access covers, hatches and panels supplied by Howe Green.

What can the 7500 Series Medium Access Cover offer you?

Performance:

A 5 tonne pneumatic tyre loading

Suitable for internal or external installations

Tamper proof for increased security

Double sealed to prevent dirt and grease ingress

Fire rating options

Available in stainless steel or aluminium

Range of standard sizes available from stock

Bespoke sizes precision manufactured to order

Durable

Aesthetics

Accepts wide range of floor finishes up to standard depth of 75mm

Available in single, duct or multipart covers

Fits flush with flooring

In good company

The 7500 Series is tried, tested and trusted – as evidenced by the high profile projects where it has been installed. These include the main concourse at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5, Kings Cross Tube Station, Bluewater Shopping Centre, Copenhagen Metro, Hong Kong MTRC, Presidential Palace Abu Dhabi, Dulles International Airport, Old Trafford and the Emirates Air Line Thames London cable car.

A closer look…

Kings Cross Station

Kings Cross StationBoth single and multipart stainless steel version of the 7500 Series floor access cover were used at Kings Cross Station in the development of the Northern Ticket Hall.  An access solution was required that could cope with very high levels of footfall and offer fire resistance to prevent the passage of fire through service channels.  With a three hour fire rating to BS476 Part 20 1987 the 7500 Series was perfect for the job.

Old Trafford

When Manchester United celebrated the centenary of their famous ground they wanted to mark the occasion by burying a time capsule with memorabilia for future generations to uncover.  Howe Green was called upon to help provide a suitable access solution.  A special purpose 7500 Series was designed and manufactured. The access cover was finished with a rubberised resin flooring which was emblazoned with the Manchester United logo and takes pride of place close to the centre tunnel.

Achieving product longevity

When you consider that the average marriage in the UK is only expected to last 32 years it begs the question as to how a humble access cover can stay the course over three decades?

The answer lies in flexibility, investment and innovation!

Howe Green has adopted a “can do” attitude towards customer requirements from the very early days of the company.  New product development has been driven by customer demand – satisfying a fundamental user need.  The flexibility to rework or tweak existing products, or to even start from scratch with an access challenge that needs to be resolved, underpins the long term success of the product range.

Investment in manufacturing equipment and software to support the requirements of customer has been a further cornerstone in product development.  Performance, profitability, productivity and sustainability are all real life issues that face architects, specifiers and building contractors every single day.  Having the right design and production environment in place helps Howe Green to deliver sustainable, cost effective, high quality access solutions quickly.

When it comes to innovation it is not simply about installing the latest C.N.C manufacturing equipment or the newest C.A.D software package.  Innovation at Howe Green runs much deeper – from the approach to problem solving to the constant evaluation and refinement of systems and processes. All of which positively contributes to developing sustainable products that can endure the test of time.

SG System Products – Hygienic handrails

SG Systems have further enhanced their Sentinel stainless steel and AL 50 aluminium range of handrail and balustrade systems, with the addition of a new handrail coating that has been specifically developed for healthcare and care home environments.

The new finish incorporates SteriTouch an anti microbial additive which when added to the handrail coating provides an effective barrier against bacteria and hand borne germs such as MRSA, Ecoli and Salmonella. It is this protection that is becoming increasingly demanded by specifiers and facilities managers working within heavily trafficked areas such as hospitals, care homes, medical centres, doctors and dentists surgeries.

Available in a range of colours, handrails that incorporate the SteriTouch additive are unaffected by cleaning chemicals. An even distribution in the coating process also ensures that the anti microbial performance is not affected by scratches, abrasions and normal wear and tear associated with care environments.
