Aluminium fabricator CDW Systems has created a new Resources page on its website that includes summary documents that outline the key revisions to documents F and L of the building regulations.

The revisions came into force on 15 June.

 “At CDW we have always made sure our customers have the very latest guidance on regulations so they can successfully navigate any changes. Our data sheets on the website will be a great help.”

Group chairman, CDW Systems

New build

Since June 15, all new homes must produce 31% less CO₂ emissions. Therefore, the construction of new dwellings must comply with the increased energy performance standards as set in the new regulations.

“With the changes to Documents F, L and O of the Regs, ultimately it’s installers who are going to need to make sure they comply with the revisions,” continues CDW’s Phillips. “We know our customers will have questions relating to the changes, and these resources will help answer them.”

Revisions to Part F see new ventilation requirements for new homes and existing ones come into force. It calls for greater air flow for new builds, while in the refurbishment market vents must be fitted as standard and if there are already vents, then the same sized vents can be fitted on the new windows. If the existing windows do not have vents, then the replacements must have vents fitted to meet the revised requirements.

Picture: The new Resources page also features order forms and brochures for all CDW Systems products, from the likes of AluK, Reynaers, Sapa and Smart Systems, as well as product updates.
