Architects have been quick to appreciate Techdek’s advantages: the product is non-toxic, non-combustible, corrosive-free, extremely durable and easy to install without requiring hot works such as welding. A patented swage-locked construction between bars enables high structural efficiency and load-bearing capacity. neaco’s National Sales Manager, Peter Melia, comments: “We have been attracting a lot of specifications from projects which require low-maintenance decking and terraces – Techdek is virtually maintenance-free, which gives it a clear advantage over wood” W: www.neaco.co.uk E: [email protected] 19 Fermacell boards help with a dynamic hotel development Carbon Dynamic has used fermacell to dry-line a hotel’s new garden rooms. When modular timber construction specialists Carbon Dynamic were asked to supply garden units for a four-star spa hotel there was only one wall and ceiling finish they were prepared to use - fermacell. The square-edged gypsum fibreboard panels have been used to line 13 modular 26m2 garden lodges, including one accessible unit, and each comprising a king-size bed, en-suite and indoor and outdoor seating areas, as well as a plant room module at the luxury Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness. A video of the project is available via https://vimeo.com/128417828. W: www.fermacell.co.uk T: 0121 311 3480 20 Corian® makes reception nautical but nice.
