EDITOR’S COLUMN Warming up to winter I am not a fan of cold weather. Ask any of my colleagues and they’ll tell you what a hard time I give them with the aircon heater. At least the aircon wars can subside for a few months with the winter season upon us. Can’t help but smirk… It was this exact season and an insulation product I read recently piqued my interest in finding out exactly how insulation works, especially in the cold winter months. Knauf Insulation, shares the benefits and its purposes on page 28. I also took the opportunity to find out how a contractor could regulate the temperature of a building, I was enlightened by how this isn’t only a roof issue but a whole building issue. Read more about this on page 17. Project focus in this issue sees the restaurant taking on an ocean inspired theme on the ceiling and is in full view of an iconic skyscraper. Read all about it on page 14. An even more fascinating project was completed in Cape Town by Gyproc – turn to page 12. The project takes building conversions to a whole new level! It really is an impressive project to see. There’s a lot of information that needs to be shared in the industry, information that the industry is aware of and has swept under the rug as well as information that is known but few are willing to share. I’m interested in sharing the latter and I await to your phone calls and emails. Ups and downs come with the territory, although I must admit, I get more yeses than nos in the industry, so it’s surprising when I get a firm no. Well, we live and learn, and that’s one of my favourite things. Until next time.
