Warming up to winter
I
am not a fan of cold weather. Ask any of
my colleagues and they’ll tell you what
a hard time I give them with the aircon
heater. At least the aircon wars can subside
for a few months with the winter season
upon us. Can’t help but smirk…
It was this exact season and an
insulation product I read recently piqued
my interest in finding out exactly how
insulation works, especially in the cold
winter months. Knauf Insulation, shares the
benefits and its purposes on page 28.
I also took the opportunity to find out
how a contractor could regulate the
temperature of a building, I was
enlightened by how this isn’t only a roof
issue but a whole building issue. Read more
about this on page 17.
Project focus in this issue sees the
restaurant taking on an ocean inspired
theme on the ceiling and is in full view of an
iconic skyscraper. Read all about it on
page 14. An even more fascinating project
was completed in Cape Town by Gyproc –
turn to page 12. The project takes building
conversions to a whole new level! It really is
an impressive project to see.
There’s a lot of information that needs to
be shared in the industry, information that
the industry is aware of and has swept
under the rug as well as information that is
known but few are willing to share. I’m
interested in sharing the latter and I await
to your phone calls and emails.
Ups and downs come with the territory,
although I must admit, I get more yeses
than nos in the industry, so it’s surprising
when I get a firm no. Well, we live and learn,
and that’s one of my favourite things.
Until next time.
