GT Yarmouth - Beattie passive - Retrofit
Intelligent Membranes
An old block of apartments in Gt. Yarmouth getting a low carbon Retrofit for a higher, cleaner living standard and reduced energy bills.
Passive Purple has been used externally on this huge scale block of apartments. with no margin for error and tricky details throughout, a liquid applied airtight membrane was the only way going forward. The building was being insulated externally and getting a whole new façade from render to aluminium panels. With the residents still inhabiting the building this had to be done quickly and easily with maximum results. Being a liquid applied airtight membrane, any cracks, gaps, and service penetration leaks in the existing building fabric quickly became thing of the past. That and the hundreds of Panel brackets being installed to support the new façade going on, this Retrofit had multiple penetrations and tricky details. Making good of the building fabric and awkward brackets with a near on impenetrable adhesion, Passive Purple made fast work of this great conversion, impossible for any other method.
Being in liquid state on application, Passive Purple can be applied onto most/any surface (See data sheets for more information) and will find its way into all the unseeable tiny gaps and cracks all buildings will undoubtably have. Like this old pebble dashed façade, any rough, uneven and awkward areas are no longer an issue, our products simply flow into these areas. We also have the fibre reinforced Passive Purple brush, used on this job to prepare the brackets by filling the larger gaps between that of the bracket and the existing wall and also the large penetrating bolts.
A huge win and demonstration of the power of liquid products by Intelligent Membranes.
Orpington - Self Build - Timber and Masonry
Intelligent Membranes
Renovation stripping out the building completely and rebuilding the walls, Passive Purple® was applied in between the connections of the internal side of the external walls which were a combination of masonry, timber, and steel frame.
The ground floor ceiling was removed exposing the warped old timber joists with cracks in the surrounding brickwork and mortar. This was given attention to detail using Passive Purple® Brush to seal above an airtight foam to guarantee the airtightness of this major air leak zone before the final spray coat of Passive Purple® airtight membrane was applied.
Passive Purple® was also used to seal window and door linings, ready for the new triple glazed windows to go in.
Passive Purple® was sprayed on all the walls and ceiling. This is an ongoing project that still is awaiting an air test, the client is looking to hit 2.5 ach and installing MVHR.

Perfect protection with an ‘aged’ metal appearance, created in days with PowderLUX©
Powdertech (Corby) Ltd
Overview: PowderLUX© ‘Pastel’ shade has transformed an Edwardian intricate cast iron balcony with a newly formed steel frame into a stunning feature, with the appearance of pale patinated copper.The Requirement We were contacted by a client who had restored an Edwardian town house but was encountering a challenge in trying to renovate an original balcony. The balcony was constructed from cast iron but only the infills could be retained – the leaves and rosettes and vines. The balcony top rail and the base needed to be remade in steel. Then these new components needed to be brought together with thirteen original infill pieces, joined and given an homogeneous aged appearance. The shade that the client thought most in keeping with the age of the building was PowderLUX© ‘Pastel’ echoeing the pale verdigris and pink shades of weathered copper. The finished appearance would also need to satisfy the conservation requirements of the neighbourhood. The Powdertech Solution PowderLUX© gives the appearance of weathered, patinated metal with a smooth surface. Our client wanted very specific shades within the finish and we worked on developing PowderLUX© Pastel as a unique finish that met his vision. We needed to remove the old paint adhering to the cast iron infill sections by shotblasting the surface, followed by a suitable primer to provide a smooth finish and to reduce the porosity of the cast iron. The PowderLUX finish applied on the years-old cast iron would need to look exactly the same as that applied to the brand-new steel; the primer would help to establish this. As the images show, the PowderLUX patina gives a harmonised appearance across all parts of the balcony. The different metals of different age are indistinguishable. Our client commented “I have spent 3 years trying to solve the challenge of my balcony. I could not find a workable solution. And then I happened to see PowderLUX featured in a magazine and became optimistic – with very good cause. The balcony is now perfect – just as I imagined it”. Why PowderLUX©?· PowderLUX© brings ‘ageing without the waiting’.· PowderLUX© offers unique finishes, suitable for balustrades, façade, street furniture, landscape architecture and signage.· PowderLux© celebrates the beauty of aged-metal with a glorious silk-smooth matt finish.· PowderLUX© finishes deliver outdoor super durability replicating patinas ranging from aged copper, rust and tarnished bronze to glazed terracotta.· PowderLUX finishes brings the toughness and longevity of architectural powders to the world of urban design.

The role of vacuum insulated panels (VIP) in FHS’s ‘world-leading energy efficiency’ goal
Promat UK
The implementation of the Future Homes Standard (FHS) policy to move away from fossil fuels to heat UK homes again highlights the need to rethink how well insulated properties could and should be.
Most new build and refurbished homes could be insulated to a much greater standard than the current Building Regulations specify whilst providing more floor space, through more widespread use of advanced vacuum insulation panels (VIPs). This insulation technology, which was pioneered by Promat more than a decade ago, delivers superior thermal performance without the thickness usually associated with panels for cavities, flooring, roofing, balconies and terraces.

“Many educational facilities now benefit from one or more partitioning wall systems, allowing smaller bubbles of students to be safely taught in separate classrooms,” comments Julian Sargent, group managing director of partitioning experts, Style. “As with any product, the functionality, reliability and longevity of a wall can be dramatically improved with routine servicing and timely repairs.”
Bannatyne Gym, Maida Vale
CMS Danskin Acoustics
The ChallengeLocated in a mixed-use development with apartments directly above the gym facilities, Bannatyne Health Club Maida Vale, was faced with a Noise Abatement Order following a series of complaints from residents occupying the dwellings above. In a bid to remediate the situation, CMS Danskin Acoustics was brought in to trouble shoot the cause of the nuisance noise.The SolutionAn initial site visit by the CMS Danskin Acoustics technical team identified the ‘free weight’ area as the source of the impact noise. Inspection of the floor treatment confirmed that a generic sports flooring tile product had been installed, yet this would not offer sufficient levels of absorption for the impact of free weights hitting the ground.Recognising that a bespoke specification would be required to achieve the necessary sound reduction, CMS Danskin Acoustics commissioned Pace Consult to conduct subjective testing on-site using a range of acoustic system build-ups.To resolve the Noise Abatement Order as swiftly as possible and to protect against any further complaints, the highest performing floor-build up was installed as follows:Regufoam 220Regufoam 190FX75 Tile10mm High Impact MatThe combination of these materials delivered a highly absorptive, durable and resilient construction which reduced the noise generated in the free weights area to a level deemed acceptable by the Council – leading the Noise Abatement Order to be withdrawn.Martin Jones, Managing Director, Pace Consult, comments: “Remediation in gym environments is more common than many realise. In the absence of any legislative standards, the specification of acoustic treatments is left very open. That’s why subjective testing is crucial in any mixed-use development, it’s the only way to be confident the products specified will deliver the exact acoustic performance required.”
Newmarket Hospital
Twinfix Limited
Newmarket Hospital, a cornerstone of healthcare in the United Kingdom, has revealed a remarkable transformation with the addition of a new walkway spanning a total of 99 square meters.One of the standout features of this canopy is its structure, meticulously crafted from powder-coated aluminium. This choice not only guarantees durability but also reduces the maintenance demands on Newmarket Hospital. In a healthcare setting, where patient care is paramount, this ensures that staff can concentrate on their core responsibilities without the constant worry of upkeep.The new walkway showcases the innovative Twinfix Multi-Link-Panel Non-Fragile (NF) roofing system, which incorporates polycarbonate glazing. This roofing system is not just about allowing natural light to permeate the space; it’s also about doing so while ensuring adequate weather protection.This unique roofing system utilises polycarbonate glazing, effectively diffusing sunlight, creating a well-lit and evenly illuminated space beneath the canopy. Patients, visitors, and staff can move comfortably without the discomfort of harsh sunlight or the risk of glare. The canopy also provides effective weather protection, shielding individuals from rain and creating a dry and secure passage, regardless of the weather outside.The design of this roofing system aligns perfectly with safety standards, particularly in healthcare settings, as it complies with HSE’s drop test ACR[M]001:2019, ensuring it is non-fragile and capable of withstanding potential impacts without shattering.In a healthcare environment, safety is non-negotiable. The Twinfix Multi-Link-Panel NF glazing meets rigorous safety standards, providing protection against potential breakage. This means that even in the rare event of an accidental impact, the glazing won’t shatter, minimising the risk of injury to those underneath. It’s an assurance of patient well-being, and it’s something Newmarket Hospital takes seriously.Vicky Evans, Director at Twinfix, commented on the project: “The new walkway at Newmarket Hospital is a testament to the superior quality and design expertise offered by Twinfix. This installation marries durability, aesthetics, and safety, ultimately enhancing the healthcare experience for all stakeholders. We take pride in having delivered a solution that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of Newmarket Hospital.”This project is more than just a canopy; it’s a symbol of progress and excellence, and it’s a part of the journey toward a better healthcare experience for all.”
Whitechapel Station - The Elizabeth Line - The Full Story
Teckentrup UK Ltd
Doors in underground stations not only have to meet fire protection, security and safety requirements, but in particular they have to be able to handle pressure. This was also one of the key requirements for the doors of the new Crossrail stations in London. Here, security doors were required that had to be fire, sound and pressure resistant. Teckentrup was able to offer appropriate door solutions with corresponding conformity, which also complied with the revised, stricter version of LPS 1175 for proof of product certification. In addition, all required values for soft impact tests, structural strength data, „U“ values, cycle tests and life cycles could be met. This tipped the scales in favour of the German manufacturer when the project was awarded and, with the stations Whitechapel and Liverpool Street marked the start of a successful collaboration.
Maggie's Yorkshire - Cancer Care Centre
Juta UK Ltd
Juta UK were involved in this scheme as the Brownfield site contained aggressive chemicals which were costly and difficult to remediate and remove.

Market Rasen - AD Treatment Lagoon
Juta UK Ltd
The Treatment lagoon at Market Rasen is formed by creation of an earthworks bunded area, which is then lined with JUTAMAT 5000 (GCL) as a secondary containment liner; overlain by JUNIFOL 2.00mm HDPE geomembrane as the primary containment liner. Once the lagoon is formed and lined the provision of a JUINFOL 1.00mm HDPE floating geomembrane cover to contain all odours is implemented. It is therefore possible to inflate the floating cover, providing a simple means of methane storage. Currently lagoons of this type may be constructed more for their methane generation than in the past.
