VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation SystemsEffective ventilation is now a primary consideration
in the design and construction of all buildings.
Greater use of sealed heating systems, doubleglazing, and increased insulation combined with
moisture created in kitchens and bathrooms, makes efficient ventilating a priority.
A complete solution to modern ventilatingrequirements is available providing effective highperformance fan and ducting systems to channelunwanted air from buildings alleviating problems
caused by moisture and indoor pollutants.
Outlets, Grilles and VentilatorsAvailable with round spigots or rectangular socketsto fit all our ducting systems. External and internaloptions with choices for the wall, ceiling and roof.Manufactured with UV stable materials to reduce
colour fade. Airbricks meet British Standard BS493.
Ducting and Firebrake™ productsDucting is available in round and rectangular profiles forexternal and internal usage, manufactured from selfextinguishing flame retardant materials, with a wide range oflow profile bends and adaptors for versatility of installation.
A range of Thermapipe pre-insulated ventilation ducts, flexible ducting, boxed kits and multi-room extraction ducting systems complete the system.
To further protect the ducting system from fire spread aunique scientifically advanced intumescent product calledFIREBRAKE™ is available to fit around the ducting.
Extractor FansTested to the strictest levels of quality and safety providingsome of the safest fans on the market.
Tested by BSRIA for air flow performance and sound tested toexceed the requirements of the current Building Regulations.
Made from tough easy to clean fire retardant UV stabilised materials which are splash proofed rated.

Polystorm used forAttenuation
The Polystormsystem is used toretain surface waterduring rainfall events andrelease it at a pre-determined rate, through a flow control device, into anappropriate outfall. The peak flow of waterdischarging from a site and downstream flood risk
are thereby reduced. The attenuation systemmust have sufficient capacity to avoid
the risk of upstream flooding.The Polystorm units require a sealed geomembranewrapping to create an
attenuation storage tank.
Polystorm Liteused forSoakaways
The PolystormLite Soakawaysystem fromPolypipe is a versatile,modern alternative to thetraditional inefficient rubble-filled soakaway.
Soakaways of any size or shape are easilyconstructed on site from a number of lightweight,load bearing, modular cells.
Polystorm Lite enables you to provide a quickand easy Soakaway solution. Light enoughto carry, child’s play to install.
Polystorm does not have thesame weight or size restrictionsas granular fill or concrete rings.
Polystorm and Polystorm Lite are lightweight modular waterstorage cells with a high void ratio that can be used for eitherattenuation or infiltration of stormwater in residential, commercial,industrial and retail applications. The system facilitates quick andeasy assembly on site where multiple configurations can be formedfrom standard stock items. A full range of silt traps, flow controlunits and adaptors complete the system

OVERLAY FLOOR CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
Overlay Floor Central Heating System
Overlay allows floor heating to beinstalled as a “built on” rather than“built in” solution. This can be aparticular advantage where accessduring construction presentsdifficulties or where compliance withRobust Details is an issue.
Overlay can be connected to manifoldsand controls like other floor heatingsystems for whole floor installations,alternately it can be connected to theZRU or EHU for Single Room Solutions,e.g. conservatories, bathrooms.
The Overlay Floor Heating System is alow profile panel system which is laidover existing solid or timber floors.
The 18mm thick Overlay panels arelaid on the existing load bearing floorand glued together. The panels caneasily be cut using a handsaw orjigsaw.
The pre-formed plastic return bendsare placed at opposite ends of theroom.
