28 AUGUST 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk Improve your van security with Viro ‘Van Lock’ The Viro Van Lock is an innovative, high quality lock specifically designed for vans to give additional security, yet is practical for day to day use. “Van Lock”, can be installed in virtually any situation, as it tolerates or recovers (with spacers) any door misalignments, it presses closed easily and provides a high degree of security thanks to the fixing system, the seven pin key and drill-resistant plate. The special (patented) shape without sharp edges or gripping points, together with the sturdy and corrosion-proof inox stainless steel distinguish this locking system for both trucks and vans, which can be applied to either rear wing or side sliding doors, or both. The spring-loaded, case-hardened, tempered and galvanized steel deadbolt locks automatically (without using the key) by pushing the second door against the first, or closing the side sliding door. The “Van Lock” can be kept in “always open” mode with the key inserted and fully turned. An added safety device allows for emergency unlocking from the inside (it is practically impossible to grip from the outside with burglary tools) if the operator is accidentally closed in the loading compartment. It is supplied with three Viro Top Security profile nickel-plated brass keys, easy to grip (even when wearing gloves), inox stainless steel screws, bolts, washers and rivets; adhesive drilling template; inox stainless steel spacers (which can be ordered individually) to compensate any misalignments between the doors; non-scratch rubber seal.

SGG UNVEILS STADIP SKN - COMBINING SOLAR CONTROL WITH SAFETY AND ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE Saint-Gobain Glass has brought together the acclaimed high performance solar control properties of Cool-lite SKN with the acoustic and safety features of its Stadip range to offer COOL-LITE STADIP SKN 165 and 174. The new additional benefits bring optimised sound insulation, safety and security benefits as well as reducing both solar gain and UV penetration to the commercial market, said Adrian Adams, Market Manager for Better Working at Saint-Gobain Glass: “Architects and specifiers are already very familiar with the advanced properties of the two separate ranges. Now, with COOL-LITE STADIP SKN 165 and 174 they can have the best of both in a single product, opening up potential for a whole range of additional applications. We have always been dedicated to developing innovative products and coatings to stay ahead of the ever-increasing demands of the commercial market and these two products are further proof of that continuing commitment.” The acoustic benefits of COOLLITE STADIP SKN 165 and 174, used in conjunction with Stadip Silence, come from the use of two panes of glass with a PVB interlayer. Alternatively, in conjunction with Stadip Protect, they can achieve P1A and P2A security accreditation for BS EN 356. By reducing solar gain, the products minimise the need for air conditioning, so helping to cut energy use and CO2 emissions. They also limit the need for secondary solar barriers such as louvres or blinds. www.saint-gobain.co.uk
