This guide represents a HUGE collaborative effort within and beyond our community and starts to look at the challenges in bringing products together as systems within buildings. It is a must read for anyone involved in the specification and design development of wall systems and the products that come together to form these vital compartments (including doors, raised access floors, glazed partitions, access panels etc).

The result of two years work by a dedicated group of industry experts, it outlines the importance of compatible compliant evidence when designing ‘Fire Walls’ It’s important for anyone specifying suppling and constructing Drylining.

A strict definition of building maintenance would encompass tasks regularly undertaken to ensure a building or property remains in good working condition around the clock. For larger buildings, this aspect of building management is crucial and can profoundly impact not only the lifespan of the building or its components but also the quality of the working and living environment.
