Seminar
Modern render systems for framed construction and other MMC solutions
All builds require a suitable finish and render is a popular solution – but there are different options depending on the type of construction. This CPD looks specifically at framed construction and other MMC solutions and what you need from a render system for it to deliver the required performance. It will focus on the technical challenges that it has to meet, and how you make sure it looks right once installed.

Reaction to Fire - Everything you need to consider when choosing External Wall Insulation Systems
The CPD explores the main objectives of the building regulations, what changes have recently taken place including some of key differences across the UK for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Following on from this the CPD reviews what reaction to fire actually means and how products are tested to demonstrate compliance. Finally, it examines some considerations necessary for architects to ensure due diligence in specification and detailing. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- How fire resistance is different to reaction to fire in principle and practice
- The three principles of fire resistance: Insulation, integrity and load bearing capacity
- The two principles of reaction to fire: Spread of flame and Heat from burning material/system
- The regulatory framework – The Building Regulations and how they are developing post Grenfell
- The various tests required, what each mean, and how they relate to the relevant standards
- Considerations necessary by architects in their work to ensure due diligence in specification and detailing
- How it is critical to demonstrate diligence in specification of materials – even colour!
- Regional differences in UK that may follow similar principles, but differ in practice

Introduction to Flowing Floor Screeds
This seminar looks at the required procedures to follow to specify cementitious flooring systems for your project to British Standards. It covers industrial and commercial floor applications whilst taking into consideration consistency, strength, speed of application and drying time. It identifies the characteristics and performance range of the screeds and how their individual properties can easily be identified to meet the required criteria of specific areas. It will help you to understand the following topics:
- High performance flooring systems, why and where to use them
- Factors that must be considered before selecting a floor screed
- Common demands on the floor that will influence specification
- Quality control procedures during application
- Factors to consider during floor renovation
- Design and construction considerations including drying times and acoustic insulation
- The advantages of cementitious screeds over traditional screeds
