Floor show
Article Abstract:
Technology has greatly advanced floor materials and their capacities. Fosroc Expandite's Cemtop is a surfacing material that cures within 24 hours. It is a self-levelling, polymer material that can be pumped and installed at up to 1,500 metres squared a day. Dow's Floormate 700 has high compressive strength with low thermal properties. It is ideal for airport coverings. Latexfalt manufactured by a Dutch company is a self-healing and flexible black bitumen/cement aggregate mixture.

Lofty considerations
Article Abstract:
Pitched roofs with board form insulation are being used increasingly in loft conversions, rather than the traditional cold roofs. The design enables the roof space to be thermally controlled and cuts down on the need for lagging pipes and tanks. It also controls condensation and means a vapour control layer is not required.
