SFS CPD seminars doubling down on key industry topics

As a specialist in all areas of the building envelope, SFS Group Fastening Technology has created a comprehensive selection of CPD seminars which are intended to offer architects and other specifiers valuable insights into relevant industry topics, embracing key issues such as sustainability, safety and structural stability.

The RIBA approved presentations have been compiled to ensure participants gain a better understanding of the topics which range from fall protection systems to the fixing of warm roofs.  Each seminar normally runs for 40 minutes with the opportunity for questions afterwards, while RIBA Chartered Architects will qualify for double CPD points.  There is also the choice of having seminars delivered by the manufacturer’s Specification Team at offices and at the SFS Academy in Leeds or Welwyn Garden City.

Vincent Matthews, the Head of UK Marketing for SFS Group Fastening Technology, commented:

“The CPD sessions have been designed to develop the knowledge of architects and other construction industry professionals on topics impacting the industry.  The subjects include rainscreen cladding systems, designing the correct roof safety systems, and Evolution to Innovation: the fixing of warm roofs.  Each subject is broken down into specific areas: with ‘Airtightness and Thermal Efficiency’, for instance, covering how to test for airtightness, the energy performance of a project design, corrosion issues and cost-effective system specification as well as other aspects.

“Importantly, the CPDs are designed to provide information which will benefit architects in their everyday work, particularly in respect of issues such as energy efficiency trends sustainability, safety and some of the complex challenges raised by changes to legislation.”

As an acknowledged leader in the roofing and cladding industry, SFS has developed a diverse catalogue of products including rainscreen support systems, and has recently collaborated with an insulation manufacturer to create the game-changing NVELOPE ^®NVS-RP range of thermally broken stainless steel brackets, facilitating thinner build-ups offering a reaction to fire rating of Euroclass fire classification of A2-s1, d0 good fire as well as energy performance.  Also, the force behind the Fall Protection Installer Network, SFS continues to innovate and helps shape the future of the industry through its CPD programme while offering a growing library of While Papers along with other training and education support.
