Specifier's information.Cast Advance Concretes MASSI is an innovative precast concrete precast concrete Concrete cast into structural members under factory conditions and then brought to the building site. A 20th-century development, precasting increases the strength and finish durability of the member and decreases time and construction costs. worksurface for a range of commercial and domestic applications--kitchen and bathroom surfaces, bar tops, reception desks and so on. It uses new laminated concrete technology developed by Cast Advanced Concretes to produce a lightweight, super strong and stain resistant surface material, available in 18 colours and thicknesses ranging from 15mm to 100mm.

Heat can be provided by electric cables or circulating heated water. and thermostat thermostat, automatic device that regulates temperature in an enclosed area by controlling heating or refrigerating systems. It is commonly connected to one of these systems, turning it on or off in order to maintain a predetermined temperature. control system. The low maintenance DEVI system is quick to install with a single cable laid under the floor surface and connected to the thermostat. Both the capital costs of the system and running and maintenance costs for occupiers are appreciably lower than more conventional radiator based heating.

Developments include the introduction of two new sections to simplify and speed up installation. A new aluminium double-glazing extrusion for use at head and base provides a slimmer more minimal aesthetic and also allows for additional features such as integral concealed LED lighting within the cavity. In addition, a new multi-use section has been developed to serve as a stop end, a reducer and a door frame for double action doors.

Using a network-based lighting calculation programme developed by Zumtobel Staff, the lighting quality could be precisely displayed in three-dimensional simulations before the project was built. For the first time it was possible to imitate an entire projector-mirror installation with all the properties of the reflecting areas and to precisely adjust each individual mirror segment to striking effect.
