Reynaers to host Part L webinar

Architects and specifiers who want information on how the June changes to Part L of the Building Regulations will impact them can sign up for a support webinar being hosted by Reynaers Aluminium.

The two hour webinar takes place tomorrow, Thursday 21 April at 10am and follows on from a successful series of roadshows by Reynaers held in Birmingham, Manchester, and London, which covered what technical changes must be made to both new and replacement thermal elements, windows, and doors to remain compliant.

More than 150 construction industry suppliers attended the previous roadshows, and this latest webinar offers another opportunity for construction suppliers and service providers to understand how the new standards which come into force from 15 June will impact their businesses.

During the webinar, Reynaers’ director of technical services, John McComb, will explain the major impact the new Part L regulations, as well as the amendments to Part F and the introduction of Part O will have on the construction industry and its suppliers. He will also provide insights into how Reynaers have already begun to adapt their products and services to remain compliant.

John McComb said: “The Future Homes Standard demands new buildings produce at least 75% less carbon emissions, and the new updated regulations are interim measures to achieve this.

“We have been working for well over a year to ensure our products and systems meet, and in some cases exceed, these new standards, and this webinar provides an opportunity for us to answer some of the key questions our customers are raising.”

Among the Part L roadshow attendees was Chris Archer, managing director at C&A Window Systems, who said the session helped to clear up a lot of confusion and armed him with answers for his customers.

“Our service is predominantly the upper end of the residential market and the smaller end of the commercial market, so we’ve had to be on board with these changes, but we wanted to find out what Reynaers were doing about them because we have manufactured for them for around two years,” he said.

“The confusion we’ve found from customers is around the U value requirement, and whether it would affect every window we make for them and if they all must comply, or can the project be looked at overall, so we’ve been taking time to tell them on the back of this session what needs to happen and to also widen their knowledge.

“I would recommend anyone involved in manufacturing or specifying products to go along to the webinar, as John is very engaging and gives you a lot of information without overloading the session and the Reynaers technical team have been at the forefront of this.”
