mortarless overlapping brick cladding system with BBA approval. The
Rodney Davidson
high strength concrete brick tiles overlap and interlock to create a
028 8778 4208
strong, water resistant brick surface.
[email address]
A dry fix system, Novabrik is considerably faster to install than brick, it
can be installed by workers without masonry skills in any weather
conditions. As a result the installed cost of the mortarless brick system
is less than that of conventional brick wall.
Novabrik can be installed on timber or steel frame and concrete
structures easily and cost effectively. As the bricks hang on the wall,
no brick ledge or steel support is necessary. There is no mortar joint to
maintain over the life of the building. As it lightweight and easy to
install it is suitable for both new build and refurbishment projects.

Derek McAleese
been developed over the past 13 years serving the industrial market
07779 596102
and our products are used world-wide.
[email address]
We have used this experience and expertise to develop a new
innovative energy management system designed specifically to help
those with older type domestic boilers to substantially reduce home
heating bills.
This new innovative energy management system:
Reduces standing heat loss by 60% – University tested
Substantially reduces fuel bills – University tested
Is not expensive – A fraction of the cost of replacing your old boiler
Pays for itself in months – A new gas boiler can take up to 5 years to
pay for itself
Is simple to install - Does not require any disruptive or expensive
installation work
Is easily removed and replaced to allow for boiler servicing
Does not require any additional space for hoppers or fuel stores
Is guaranteed for life
Prevents the boiler from heating the house in the summer
Increases the life of the boiler
Dramatically reduces CO2 emissions
The savings achieved by the new product compares favourably with
the savings offered by cavity wall and loft insulation without the need
for invasive installation work and at a much lower initial cost

a complete insulation and air barrier blanket thereby reducing your
energy costs by up to 50% when compared to more conventional
insulations.
Unlike other soft foam insulations Icynene is 100% water blown and
contains no blowing agents or harmful emissions, like HCFCs, HFAs,
HFCs, formaldehyde or crucially any PBDEs (Polybrominated Diphenyl
Ethers) which are linked to a number of health issues, In addition
unlike other foams,Icynene will not decline in U value over time,will not
decrease in thermal resistance with increases in thickness and will not
absorb water.
The Icynene Insulation System is the only certified open celled foam
on the Irish and U.K.market.It has achieved B.B.A.British Board of
Agrement,E.T.A. European Technical Approval and N.S.A.I.National

range of biomass boilers and hot air blowers for UK, Ireland and
Canada. Boiler range from 12Kw to 1Mw with customisation as
required for individual customer requirements. Hot air blowers from
150Kw to 1Mw again custom built to suit customer needs. Air blowers
are particularly useful for space heating, drying and for use with green
houses, poultry farming, pig farming, fruit growing and the drying of
grain. All Kozlusan heating systems have unique patented self
cleaning and clink removal systems making the systems very self
sufficient and easy to live with.
Recent installations include a swimming pool, a guest house, a
supermarket and a factory assembly shop.
Kozlusan heating systems were originally design 30 years ago to burn
coal but have now been modified so they can burn many Biomass
fuels including wood pellets, grain, corn, miscanthus pellets and other
next generation fuels such as Refuse derived fuels (RDF) and Slurry
pellets.
Green Energy Engineering provide the full solution for heating form
system sizing, procurement, storage solutions, installation and

ICI Paints AkzoNobel
Paint Manufacturer and Ecosure - Developed in partnership with Forum for the Future this new
distibutor
range of water-based paints, including matt, gloss and undercoat,
Andy Brewin
embodies less carbon - the key factor in climate change. This is thanks to
07860 731476
more sustainable choices being made at every stage from extracting and
[email address]
transporting the raw materials to manufacturing the finished products and
packaging. Analysis of the different Ecosure products’ environmental
impact using the Environmental Impact Analyser reveals reductions in
embodied carbon of 25 – 30% and VOC reductions as great as 84%,
when compared with standard Dulux Trade formulations. Yet Ecosure
paints offer ‘best in class’ coverage and application characteristics,
providing the perfect balance of sustainability and performance.
Dulux Trade Light and Space wall finishes. This paint is based on the
ground breaking LumiTec technology, which reflects substantially more
light back in and around the room making rooms appear brighter and
more spacious.
In addition, Light and Space has been developed specially to meet the
growing concerns about the environment. Being more reflective and less
absorbent to ligh,t it uses up to 22% less light energy. Lighting can be set
to a lower level or switched on for shorter periods.
Light and Space underwent rigorous testing by the BRE. Amongst it’s
conclusions BRE stated “Using higher more reflective surfaces could
result in lighting energy savings for two reasons. Firstly, it is possible that
less electic lighting could be installed, secondly, the increased levels of
daylight could mean that eelectric lighting would be required for less time.
Environmental Wash System - This unique system allows customers to
wash out their brushes, rollers and other painting tools with minimal
impact on the environment. Water-based paints are converted into clean
water and a small, manageable amount of solid waste. The water can be
reused and the disposal of the solid waste has been rated as a low risk
activity by The Environment Agency
