In a move to help specifiers make buildings more sustainable, Sika Sarnafil has announced the launch of its BRE Certified Thermal Details.
The Certified Thermal Details and Products scheme, run by building science centre BRE, gives thermal junction details an independent third party assessment, assuring users of the ‘as designed’ thermal performance.
Sika Sarnafil has been working with BRE for the past year to become one of the first flat roofing manufacturers to have its thermal details certified.
Since the introduction of the revised Part L building regulations, which deal with energy efficiency requirements, architects and specifiers are now actively encouraged to use details with thermal values attached, otherwise they may have to pay a penalty elsewhere.
Easily accessible and straightforward to use, all Sika Sarnafil’s thermal details have been redrawn and modernised with values that tie in with the requirements for Part L.
Sika Sarnafil says the specifier can be confident that all its thermal details assessed under the new scheme will perform as described, as well as being of a very high quality.
