National Ventilation, a leading UK-based ventilation manufacturer and supplier, is offering expert advice and support on the new Building Regulations, published in December 2021, to assist architects, developers and builders on their projects.

Leading ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia is to host a webinar, ‘Domestic Legislation for Ventilation’, on the recently launched Building Regulations.

With the pending changes to Part L of the Building Regulations and introduction of the new Future Homes Standard on the horizon, the outlook for new build domestic dwellings is changing. Fortunately, online builders’ merchant Insulation Superstore, part of the CMO Group, has a range of energy-efficient solutions all under one roof.

Prior to a revision of Building Regulations in 2010, ventilation was not high on the list of priorities in the housebuilding sector. A fan in the bathroom and cooker hood in the kitchen, plus ventilation blocks in the walls, were the default setting.

The roof space to an existing commercial property in the North-West of England has been given the added protection of having its very large roof-space sub-divided using the APOLLO Lite 30:30 system manufactured by TBA FIREFLY™.

This has been an unprecedented year on many levels, what with construction sites having to implement social distancing measures and four in 10 architects reportedly struggling with their mental health during lockdown .

We understand that you want the best security for your property - whether you are working in healthcare, education, retail, transportation, commercial or multi-residential. Simply put, your building must be well protected against risks such as burglary or vandalism. Changes in Building Regulations are increasing the demands on the products used to gain access to a building. ASSA ABLOY have developed a family of security enhanced automatic entrances to meet these requirements.
