New website for Approved Commercial Installer Network
»»
TO MEET THE CONTINUED demand from commercial installers and developers looking to join the scheme , Astraseal has launched a brand-new , dedicated website for ACIN , their G17-nominated Approved Commercial Installer Network ( www . acin . uk ).
The new website allows would-be members to learn more about the scheme , which provides installers with high-value commercial contracts in their area , and offers developers a better way to complete their projects .
ACIN provides its nationwide network of approved installers with commercial projects in their area worth between £ 50k and £ 500k . Astraseal liaise with the developer to complete all the preparation work for the tender and will introduce the installer to the client . All the installer must do now is add their installation costs , submit the tender and if successful , complete the project with the products supplied by Astraseal .
For developers , the network is designed to offer a range of benefits to help streamline projects from specification through to delivery . Additionally , instead of relying on out-of-town installation firms and facing the logistical nightmare of hotel and travel costs , developers can work with a local team – fully approved and vetted by Astraseal .

Roofing range proving popular
»»
TRADE COUNTER NETWORK National Plastics stocks one of the industry ’ s most comprehensive ranges of roofing products throughout their 32 nationwide depots .
The stocked roof range includes Res-Tec ’ s GRP Roof 1010 System . The intelligently designed roof system is applied cold so there are none of the risks associated with hot works – and none of the insurance costs either . It ’ s easy to transport and lift onto a roof because there are no large or heavy rolls of material to manoeuvre . It can also be installed in temperatures as low as 5 ° C or as high as 30 ° C , meaning that scheduling roofing works becomes a lot less weather-dependent .
Also available is an EPDM rubber roofing range which is easy to install , which makes it a boon for tradespeople . It is supplied in rolls for ease of handling and installation and awkward pipes and upstands in the roof can be overcome with the self-adhesive EPDM rubber . The overlaps are joined safely and quickly using only a hot air gun .
The National Plastics ’ roofing range further extends to include the Uni-Click Dry Verge system along with an extensive range of ‘ addons ’ and adhesives for a complete roofing solution .
