New fastener lengths in EJOT’s DDS-Z range, exclusively available in the UK, are enabling much deeper levels of soffit insulation to be installed easily and efficiently thanks to the screw’s ability to anchor effectively into concrete with an embedment of just 25mm. Existing DDS-Z fasteners in lengths including 275mm, 300mm, 325mm and 350mm are already proving popular with installers tasked with meeting higher thermal performance and fire resistance objectives in projects suc

W.Howard’s new subsidiary, Pillo, is transforming how the industry thinks about waste MDF by recovering and reusing wood fibres to create a natural, UK-manufactured wood-fibre insulation. For decades, MDF has been one of the few timber-based materials that could not be recycled.

Ben Hancock, Managing Director of Oscar Acoustics, explains why acoustics play a key role in the great return to the office.         Many industries are calling for employees to return to the office full time, but a critical design element remains absent from most workplaces – appropriate acoustics. Consequently, we’re ignoring a fundamental issue; poor sound management is actively driving away talent from the office.   SonaSpray in inclusive office for global NGO client.

Many industries are calling for employees to return to the office full-time. Yet, a critical design element remains absent from most workplace conversations; appropriate acoustics.
