A Designer's Guide to Specifying Warranted Austenitic Stainless Steel Fasteners and Sealants
(Literature)
Fastener specification is critical to the performance of roofing and cladding systems. The fastener works in close combination with sealants, so therefore the specification of the fastener and sealing products needs to be addressed at the early stages of detail design, to allow the completed envelope to perform throughout its life. This design guide addresses the principle performance criteria of fasteners and sealants, namely durability (corrosion resistance), weathersealing, the Part L issues of airsealing and thermal bridging, aesthetics, and technical performance.
Air-Tight Thermal Efficiency Cost Effective Design for Roofing and Cladding Systems
(Seminar)
This seminar will help you to:
- Gain an understanding of air-tightness issues
- Understand the commercial implications of the SBEM certificate
- Gain a detailed understanding of system specification and its impact on the energy performance of the project
- Provide cost effective system specifications
Flat Roof Design: A Guide to Good Practice for The Attachment of Single Ply Membrane Systems
(Seminar)
This seminar will provide:
- A detailed examination of the requirements of document part L2, from a single ply roofing perspective
- A description of Thermal Bridging and Corrosion issues
- A comparison of Mechanical Fixing and Chemically Adhered Systems
- An explanation of Wind Load requirements and Environmental Issues
- Meaningful Warranties
Glass Attachment Systems
(Seminar)
This seminar offers an awareness of and guidance for several fixing systems which can be used for "frameless" attachment of glass to structures, in and on buildings. This seminar will:
- Provide guidance on the types of bolted/clamp assemblies used to attach glass
- Enable listeners to feel confident when specifying these attachment systems
- Increase awareness of frameless glass attachment (opposed to 'in a frame' and 'on a frame' fixing)
- Assist the audience in understanding the range of applications, external and internal
- Look at design considerations for daylight in buildings
- Cover glass; what the market is and structural types
- Correct specifications and warranty
- Case studies
Performance of Fasteners and Seals within Roofing and Cladding Systems
(Seminar)
This seminar aims to draw to specifiers attention the importance and functions of fasteners to enable appropriate specification at design stage.
Sectional Window Hardware Fixings - Making the Right Choice
(Seminar)
This seminar looks at the importance of fasteners used to attach hardware to casement windows.
