Plywood Handbook 2022 - Riga Wood
Riga Wood
Birch plywood with its outstanding mechanical properties and vast variety of applications is truly a unique material. Indispensable in many industries, but under one essential precondition – you must know how to use it most effectively.
We at Latvijas Finieris Group are not only producers of birch plywood. Thanks to many years of experience, research and knowledge accumulated over generations, we are focused on performance-oriented birch plywood-based product solutions. By fully understanding the needs of our customers, the potential of birch wood and technical possibilities of combining it with different other materials, we are constantly developing new birch plywood products with properties which had never been seen before.
Permaflow - Permeable by Design
CEMEX UK
With paved surfaces all around us, the new Permaflow range addresses the building and construction industry need for a permeable concrete product that can be used in large areas of surfacing and minimises water run-off. Surface water management, including the laying of Permaflow, can help prevent possible flash flooding and pollution of the water table, rivers and streams. Research has indicated that extreme summer rainfall may become more frequent in the UK, highlighting a continued growing need for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to be an integral part of any development. Permaflow has been designed to have a network of interconnecting voids which allow water to free-flow through the product to the level of the water table.

The aim of BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method.) is to encourage a healthy indoor air quality by promoting the use of materials with no or low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Technical Digest - BREEAM Certification & Keim Mineral Paints
Keim Mineral Paints Ltd
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology), first published by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990, is the world's longest established method of assessing, rating, and certifying the sustainability of buildings.
The BREEAM rating is not directly applicable to Keim Mineral Paints and treatment products as they are less than 150microns in thickness which, when applied to substrates, will not significantly affect the environmental rating of the building.
All Keim Mineral Paints have VOC contents below 140gms/l, and are therefore, on this basis, BREEAM compatible.
Topflow Horizontal ideal for slabs, domestic, mezzanine and residential dwellings
Tarmac
Topflow Horizontal’s finishing characteristics and high quality surface finish can eliminate the need to power float concrete on site dependant on project specification. Topflow Horizontal enables the rapid and effortless fabrication of slabs and floors. Tarmac technology means that surface finish is of a high quality. This can eliminate power floating on site. Floor finish tolerance to BS 8204 – 1 SR2.
After extensive research with Loughborough University Topflow Horizontal was proven to improve construction processes. The research made it clear that Topflow Horizontal is not just a material for construction but it is in fact a method of construction.

Aluminium Solar Shades and Brise Soleil
Dales Fabrications Ltd - Aluminium Eaves Products
The Building Research Establishment suggests that installing external solar shading systems is one of the most cost effective and least adverse methods of reducing solar gain, and therefore emissions of carbon dioxide during building use*. Using aluminium solar shades is an excellent way of reducing solar gain whilst keeping maintenance to a minimum and research has shown that a well-designed solar shading system should pay for itself through the energy costs saved within 5 years**.
