Low surface temperature radiatorsTechnical
Contour
Anti-ligature radiator guard for secure and mental health care environments
- Grille perforated with 2mm holes at 4mm centres, tested by a UKAS-accredited lab to exceed IP3x -- stops objects 2.5mm or larger being inserted, reducing the grille itself being used as a ligature point
- Anti-ligature TRV shroud fitted as standard, plus a wide range of security fastenings to stop unauthorised access inside the casing
- Contour cannot guarantee the casing stays under 43°C surface temperature on anti-ligature models -- the security grille restricts the convection that keeps a standard LST guard cool, so this is a genuine trade-off against the LST range, not a like-for-like swap

Roofline, fascia & rainwaterTechnical
Freefoam
Exterior wall cladding for dormers, gable ends and full facades
- Fire rating varies by colour -- white, Pale Gold, Sand, Misty Grey and a few others hold D-s3,d2, but darker colours (Storm Grey, Anthracite Grey, Cappuccino and others) drop to Class E because of the ASA skin needed for their colourfastness. Same D rating limits under Building Regs either way, but worth checking the specific colour before assuming the fire class
- Permitted 1m or more from a relevant boundary on buildings up to 18m per Part B -- taller or closer needs a specific check
- Continuous ventilation required -- minimum 25mm gap between cladding and the breather membrane/insulation/wall, maintained top to bottom
- 25mm x 50mm battens at 400mm centres for all profiles
- Horizontal break (drip trim) required above 6m height; vertical break required beyond 10m run
- 5-10 year guarantee depending on colour and profile -- darker colours generally carry the shorter 5 year term
Satisfies Building Regulations Part B (fire safety), CSTB accredited
Roofline, fascia & rainwaterTechnical
Freefoam
PVC-U guttering and downpipe system
- Co-extruded with a white interior regardless of exterior colour -- keeps heat absorption and expansion down, since a dark exterior surface alone can exceed the PVC softening point in direct sun
- 50 year guarantee on registered white installations, 10 year on other colours (20 year standard without registration)
- Gutter flow capacity, outlet at centre of run: half round 1.90 l/sec, square 2.20 l/sec, ogee 3.90 l/sec, deep 3.77 l/sec (level; higher again at 1:600 fall)
- Cast iron style range available for period-appropriate refurbishment, same fitting system as the standard PVC range
- Compatible with other manufacturers’ rainwater systems via adaptors -- useful for partial replacement without a full strip-out
- Fascia brackets fixed at max 1m centres generally, reduced to 800mm in areas prone to heavy snowfall (per BS 6367:1983)
Satisfies BS 4576, BS EN 12200, BS EN 607, BS EN 1462
Roofline, fascia & rainwaterTechnical
Freefoam
PVC-U/PVC-UE fascia, soffit and rainwater roofline system
- 50 year guarantee on white profiles, 10 year on coloured and woodgrain (20 year standard without online registration)
- Magnum fascia boards BBA-tested to support up to 50kg load per metre of eaves tiles at all roof pitches
- Gutter brackets tested to BS EN 1462:2004, no failure at 420N test weight
- Fixings (Plastops) are A4 marine-grade stainless steel -- corrosion resistant, will not rust or stain the profile
- Fire classification D-s3, d2
- 100% lead-free, REACH compliant, will not support bacterial or fungal growth
- Standard 5m lengths, fascia thickness from 8mm (refurbishment overcap) to 25mm (Magnum Xtra full-replacement)
- This is the roofline system (fascia/soffit/gutters) specifically -- Freefoam publish separate documentation for their cladding and rainwater ranges
Satisfies BS EN 13245-2:2008, BS EN 10088-3:2014, BBA Certificate 99/3585/C
External furniture & bollardsTechnical
Furnitubes
Bolt-down or pedestal-mounted external litter bin
- Two installation types depending on ground: bolt-down for level sites (includes a rodent bait tray as standard), pedestal-mounted for sloped sites so the door still opens on a horizontal plane
- Three sizes -- 90 litre (ZEN500), 125 litre (ZEN520) bolt-down, and 80 litre (ZEN580) pedestal
- Pedestal version needs 500mm root depth (150mm gap above ground, 350mm embedded in the concrete foundation) -- worth checking against buried services before specifying
- Integral lid on all bins prevents rainwater ingress into the liner
- Steel triple-process powder coated, or Grade 304/316 stainless steel satin or bright polished -- same material choice logic as the Zenith bollards, so a matching set is straightforward to specify
- Optional cigarette stubber and separate ash waste liner, laser-cut LITTER/RECYCLING wording

Kitchen cabinets & worktopsTechnical
Howdens
Base, wall and tower cabinets, standard and handleless
- This manual includes a dedicated Inclusive Kitchens section (Section 14) alongside the standard cabinet ranges -- worth requesting directly from a Howdens depot for care/accessible-specific layouts rather than assuming a standard run works
- Standard cabinet height 720mm full height / 557mm standard / 900mm extra tall -- worktop height is 890mm on standard cabinets (based on 38mm worktop)
- Handleless profile system elevates worktop height by 30mm compared to standard cabinet ranges -- relevant if matching heights across a mixed standard/handleless kitchen
- Granite and quartz (solid surface) worktops cannot use the standard bracket-and-screw fixing -- silicone fixing is required instead, and a metal support bar is needed under any unsupported span (e.g. where an appliance sits between cabinets)
- Dedicated sink base cabinets are recommended over adapting a standard base cabinet -- explicitly flagged as easier to install correctly
- Wall cabinets require confirmation the wall construction can take the loaded cabinet weight before fixing -- the manual defers to a professional if there’s any doubt, since wall fixing screws aren’t supplied (wall type determines the correct fixing)
Safety flooringTechnical
James Hardie
Cement-based tile backer board for walls, floors and worktops in wet areas
- Fully non-combustible -- A1,S1-d0 fire classification, not just fire-resistant
- HardieBacker 500 is the heavier, thicker option (12mm, 13.8kg) for higher load applications; 250 is 6mm and lighter (9kg) for standard wall/floor tiling
- Tile weight carrying capacity 100kg/m² on both variants -- contact James Hardie technical department before specifying heavier tiles beyond this
- No asbestos, gypsum, glass fibre or formaldehyde in the composition
- 10 year limited product warranty
- Suitable for wet rooms, steam rooms, saunas and pool surrounds -- HardieBacker 500 specifically can also be used as backing for domestic boilers
Satisfies EN 12467; EN 13501-1 A1,S1-d0; BBA 04/4100
Roofline, fascia & rainwaterTechnical
James Hardie
External weatherboard cladding, cedar or smooth texture
- 8mm thick fibre cement plank -- Portland cement, milled sand, cellulose fibres, no asbestos
- Does not form a weatherproof cladding on its own -- a breather membrane is required behind it to achieve the weatherproof barrier
- Flexural strength drops from >10 MPa dry to >7 MPa wet -- a real, quantified difference worth noting rather than assuming dry-tested figures hold up in service
- 21 colours, two textures (cedar, smooth), factory-primed with ColorPlus coating
- Substructure fixing centres max 600mm
- Cut edges must be sealed with HardieSeal edge coating before install if boards are cut to size on site
Satisfies EN 12467 Type A, Class 2; BBA 04/4147
Fire doorsetsTechnical
Lorient
Combined intumescent fire, smoke and acoustic door seal
- Designed so the seal fits correctly regardless of which way round it’s installed -- maintains the smoke seal specifically at ironmongery points, a common weak spot the brochure flags separately
- Covers 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute applications across four widths (10x4mm to 25x4mm)
- CERTIFIRE CF330 + CF341, BBA 92/2841
- Durability tested to 100,000 cycles
- PVC-encased sodium silicate intumescent core with elastomeric fins -- the intumescent activates at 100-150°C, expanding 5-10x its original size well before the fins themselves would degrade
- Fitted with heavy duty self-adhesive backing -- can bond to MDF, which the brochure notes is usually difficult to get a reliable adhesive bond on
Satisfies BS 476-22:1987, BS EN 1634-1:2008, BS 9999:2017
Fire doorsetsTechnical
Lorient
Automatic threshold drop seal
- Mechanism lifts the seal clear of the floor when the door opens, and drops automatically on closing -- self-levelling, so it still seals effectively on an uneven floor
- Covers fire, smoke and acoustic performance in one product -- CERTIFIRE CF5179, UL R27972
- Directly answers a genuine gap: perimeter and fire seals alone don’t address the threshold, and BS 9999 requires a threshold seal wherever the gap exceeds 3mm on a fire and smoke door
- Durability tested to 100,000 cycles
- Works with a slimline threshold plate (as little as 5mm high) specifically so it doesn’t create a trip hazard for wheeled traffic -- relevant for hoists, wheelchairs and trolleys in a care setting
- A cladding kit variant extends the same product to 60-minute FD60 doors
Satisfies BS 476-20/22:1987, BS EN 1634-1:2014, BS EN 1634-3:2004
Roofline, fascia & rainwaterTechnical
Rockpanel
Basalt stone-wool-based rainscreen facade cladding board
- FS-Xtra (9mm) is the specific variant for where the greatest fire safety is required -- achieves European fire class A2-s1,d0, the class relevant for high-rise and fire-sensitive buildings, not the standard Durable/Xtreme range
- Durable (6-8mm) for regular facade/roofline use; Xtreme (8mm) adds impact resistance specifically for ground-level applications prone to knocks
- BRE Global A+ or A rated across the range on Life Cycle Assessment -- independently assessed, not a manufacturer self-declared rating
- Non-directional boards (except Woods finish) -- genuinely simplifies installation and reduces waste versus a directional material
- ProtectPlus coating (standard on most finishes) is self-cleaning and graffiti-resistant without affecting gloss or colour when cleaned
- Basalt-based -- 1m³ of raw material produces over 400m² of board, and the material is recyclable
Satisfies ETA-07/0141 and related ETAs; European fire class A2-s1,d0 (FS-Xtra)
