Jablite campaign against
over-specification is
winning the argument
In October 2013, Jablite launched a PR and advertising campaign to challenge
the ‘normality’ of over-specifying insulation for inverted roofs.
Today, Jablite can
announce that sales
figures this year show
a significant changeover to 200 grade EPS
(expanded polystyrene)
insulation for inverted
roofs.
“In the first quarter of
2014, Jablite 200 was 31%
of our total inverted roof
insulation sales. In 2013 it
was just 1%”, says David
Teasdale, Sales & Marketing
Director.
“This is clear evidence that
the inverted roof insulation
marketplace is changing
over to 200 grade EPS
because it really is the best
choice for the majority of
inverted roofs.
“We provided detailed
information about the
compression performance
of Jablite 200 insulation
proving that over-specification does not make sense;
it is not cost-effective and it
increases the overall load on
the roof,” says David.
“It is gratifying to see that
contractors and specifiers
are looking at the facts to
decide what specification
is required for their project
and, where appropriate,
changing their previous
buying choice.”
Jablite supplies inverted
flat roof insulation in 200
and 300 grade EPS in 1mm
increments and offers a new

Salisbury Flooring
Offers New Boen
Boflex Sports Floor
Salisbury Hardwood Flooring reinforces its status as the UK’s leading flooring
provider with the introduction of the new Boen Boflex Olympia sprung
sports floor. The innovative product uses patented technology to achieve
premium performance and is the first of its kind to use a floating structure.
Assembled using a
triple layered system,
the Boflex Olympia consists of a real wood top
layer, balancing softwood middle-layer lying
at right angle to the
top layer to increase
stability and a bottom
softwood under-layer.
The 5.5mm wear top layer
makes it extremely durable
and gives it exceptional
shock absorption abilities
while the superb engineering and strategically angled
middle layer give it the extreme capacity to withstand
an unlimited load.
Boflex Olympia flooring
performs in all the right
areas, boasting shock
absorption of 60%, 2.9mm
deformation and 97% ball
bounce. This makes it the
ideal flooring solution for
any sports or multipurpose
centre wanting to give athletes the chance to perform
at their best.
The total build height
measures in at just 30mm
while the floating installation system means the flooring can be installed over the
top of existing floors. This
makes the Boflex Olympia a
highly unimposing conversion with a quick and
convenient transition phase.
The floating system also
offers the potential for underfloor heating, an added
comfort that is not a viable
option when using conventional solid floors.
Boen is renowned as one
of the leading sports floor
producers and suppliers
in the world and plays
an important role in the
research and development
‘economical and
environmentally
friendly choice’
of new technologies. Boen
clients can install products
with peace of mind thanks
to the company’s trademark
guarantee which ensures
the floor possesses the
sufficient strength, durability and workmanship to
sustain regular usage and
traffic loads for a period of
25 years from the date of
installation.
Choosing a Boflex Olympia sprung sports floor is a
practical, economical and
environmentally friendly choice, the company
exclusively using materials
sourced from suppliers who
belong to one or more forestry schemes or are working towards certification.

in low lambda material that
gives the same excellent
thermal and compression
performance – but in a
much thinner board.
“Our aim is to provide
specifiers with precise
options to achieve their required thermal performance
on a roof. We constantly
for looking for ways to do
that by innovating and extending our portfolio” says
David.
“The latest addition to
our inverted roof family is
a tapered insulation which
eliminates the need of a
screed layer to provide the
drainage fall on the roof. We
expect that to be our next
success story in 2014.”
