Medite Smartply
Site Hoarding
Smartply Siteprotect and SiteProtect Plus OSB3 panels are specially developed by Medite Smartply as site hoarding solutions. With security and durability in mind, the panels can be produced up to three metres tall and are structurally sound, meaning it won’t bend, break or allow a site to be easily accessed by unauthorised people.
Both versions have been developed to provide a smooth, flat surface to allow suitable, clearly visible signage to be incorporated easily, and on both sides in the case of SiteProtect Plus.

Knauf Insulation
Soffit Linerboard
Knauf Insulation has added to its Earthwool Soffit Linerboard range, to meet the increasing demand for non-combustible insulation in spaces such as car parks, stadiums and commercial units. The collection now has a lower thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/mK, and is said to be less susceptible to thermal bridging thanks to a new fixing method which uses tube washers in the corners of each slab instead of traditional all-steel fixings.
The board is available in thicknesses from 50 to 220mm, with an additional base layer available to meet build-up requirements. There are two options available — Standard and Extra — depending on the aesthetics and impact resistance required.

Glow-worm
Power System Filter
Glow-worm’s patent-pending Power System Filter has been engineered to fit into tighter spaces easily and discreetly. Specifically designed for use with Glow-worm boilers, the filter — which is fitted horizontally — offers flexible siting, quick installation and easy dirt removal.
Compared to classic filter designs, a smaller portion of the filter is visible once fitted so that it looks less intrusive and gives installers more siting options. The filter can be easily dismantled in the middle to remove the magnet sheath for cleaning.
