Specifying commercial cladding
James Burton, Sales Manager at specialist
coating manufacturer Bradite, advises what to
consider when refurbishing commercial and
industrial cladding. Cladding is mostly coated
in the production process which gives it a life
of approximately 20 years before it starts to
discolour. Both flexible and adaptable, it can be over-painted at any
point during its lifetime, the process normally being relatively quick
with minimal disruption. Up until the corrosion and failure of the
steel substrate itself, Bradite’s Cladit can be successfully used to
upgrade the cladding and extend its life by up to 10 years.

Architects designing in waste and
recycling facilities for social housing
schemes must ensure wheeled bin
stations are 6m or more from property
to comply with CFPA guidance.
Whether the brief is a redevelopment or
new build, Fire Risk Assessors working
for social landlords will expect a minimum distance between bins and
residential property. The regularity of fires caused by wheeled bin fires
spreading to domestic property makes this a hot topic. metroSTOR’s
range of fire-resistant bin stores and expert advice can help specifiers.

Covent Garden as we all know is a busy and successful
shopping and entertainment area. The technical
services team required an outdoor power supply that
would not impact on the Grade 1 listed site and its
important aesthetics. Pop Up Power Suppliesdelivered
6 retractable units for this particular site. The 450kg
units are successfully buried beneath the beautifully
cobbled piazza. When required they are raised by a
simple removable turning handle. They do not have a
negative impact on the historical surroundings as each unit has a lid
created from the same cobbled stone as the rest of the piazza.

urban drainage solution can attenuate and cleanse stormwater and
provide amenity and biodiversity to new and existing spaces
particularly suitable for highway build outs, central reservations and
