Solutions to help you achieve compliance and build safer, more comfortable homes.
Building Regulations affecting homes have tightened significantly in the last few years. Approved Document L has raised the standards for energy efficiency and Approved Document B has tightened the guidance on using combustible materials. Meanwhile, the Building Safety Act (2022) has increased scrutiny of high-risk buildings. There’s a clear focus on building homes that are efficient, safe, and comfortable. An increasing focus on indoor air quality has also put the health credentials of construction products under the spotlight. Whether you’re specifying a new build, renovation, or fit out, we have ceiling, wall, and insulation solutions to help you build safer, more comfortable homes.
Our Technical Services team are here to guide you through every step of the process.
