ThermAssured is the worlds first bi-vailant ‘dual fuel’ radiant panel heater that combines a wet and electric heating technology into a single emitter. The UK lags behind the rest of Europe in the installation of heat pumps; especially on retro fit projects. This is mainly because the UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe […]
We are proud to announce that we have supplied, installed and handed over over 220,00m2 of Screed, Insulation and DPM in 2022! This has been made possible by our exceptional management team and the fleet of 16 Putzmeister United Kingdom pumps. 2022 has also seen us become Flowcrete approved installers, allowing us to supply all […]
Fire safety is a significant concern in the construction industry.

NyRock technology is an evolution in stone wool composition that gives the most thermally efficient stone wool insulation currently available in the UK. Made using a new patented production process, products with […]
Manufactured in Latvia, it is an alternative way of recycling waste paper and hemp fibre into an innovative heat insulation material with improved thermal conductivity. The new insulation mats are designed to be easy-to-install, structurally sound and with thermal insulation properties comparable to those of mineral wool. Other advantages will include breathability, recyclability and health safety […]
