Update to BS 8102 & Expert Panel Debate Videos
One of the key topics at our recent '2022 Structural Waterproofing Conference' back in July, was the long-awaited revision to BS 8102. This was not only the subject of one of the sessions, which PCA's Technical Manager gave an overview of, but also formed the basis of our Expert Panel Debate!
There were many questions asked from around the room resulting in the longest debate we've had at one of our conferences! There were even some contentious points and some strong differences in opinion!

Sprayed Foam Case Study
There is still a lot of uncertainty on the issue and use of sprayed foam insulation and the Property Care Association continues to advocate for a more considered approach, with guidance from a specialist/professional always being the option to take.
It is pleasing to see articles on sprayed foam insulation which raises awareness of the issue, and plight which many homeowners face, such as the following case study from Plumb Stone Surveyors. You can read more by clicking on the button below...
