JACKON SETS OUT A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR BUILDING SYSTEMS
STAND : B510
Visit JACKON ’ s stand at UK Construction Week and find out how the sustainable houses of the future will be built .
JACKON offers two building systems - JACKODUR ® Atlas and THERMOMUR ® Insulated Concrete Formwork ( ICF ) - which between them are set to revolutionise UK house construction in the coming years . This housebuilding technology is growing in the UK at a time when the Government ’ s Future Homes Standard is set to be a key feature of the construction industry going forward , underpinning the green recovery of the housebuilding market .
JACKON ’ s building systems help developers to meet and surpass the requirements of all the latest regulations , including the recent change to the Part L regulations , which have meant that from June this year , all new homes must produce 31 % less CO2 emissions , compared to what was acceptable under the previous Part L regulations . This puts the responsibility for achieving improved energy performance on to the developers of new dwellings .
