event zone A moment of Clarity at FIT » » AZTEC GLASS WILL BE using this May’s FIT Show to officially launch Clarity Air. Founder Gareth Eyers and his team have chosen one of the industry’s most popular events to introduce the innovative computer system, and Gareth is so confident of Clarity Air’s ability to revolutionise the way glass companies price, order, and distribute their products, he will be offering two free months of the software to anyone who visits stand C42. Gareth says: “the very nature of Clarity Air is that it is an organic, ever-evolving piece of software that will literally change the way we work – for the better – from the moment you start using it. From quotations to stock control, productivity to labelling, Clarity Air can be whatever you want it to be. And, if you find anything it can’t do, we will re-write the code to make it work for you.” Clarity Air works from a remote host, which means you will get all the benefits of the software, without any new hardware. The package can be booted up instantly, on almost any kind of laptop or computer, requiring just 2MB and a WiFi connection.

The concept of the Icotherm roof system stemmed from the belief that timber would be an improved solution over aluminium. • Using a material with thermal conductivity of only 0.16 W/m2k (vs 160 W/m2k for aluminium) immediately simplifies the process of insulation and ventilation, as the timber does not require cloaking. • Using premium C24 building grade timber Aztec Glass event zone main sponsors 52 MAR 2019 and 155mm EPS boards guarantees the structural integrity and U-Value performance (0.18W/m2k, which can be brought down to 0.12W/m2k with the use of insulated plasterboard, ideal for the Scottish market). • The roof has been designed to be fully ventilated, with airflow circulating over the eaves and through the entire roof, ensuring condensation will never be an issue. • Pre-fabricated pods and pre-cut insulation provides the installer with a solution that goes up quickly (an average sized roof should go up in two hours, with the waterproof membrane on). www.icotherm.co.uk
