Product Testing & Accreditation

Testing is an integral part of our design process; it helps us to ensure that the products we design are up to the task and gives our customers the confidence that they have the right product for the job. The wide variety of products that we manufacture means that we service several key areas of the build process, each of these areas requiring its own set of testing parameters.

From air leakage testing to meet Part L requirements, fire testing to ensure Part B compliance, to driving rain, high speed wind and load testing, our products are rigorously tested to the relevant British Standards.

BIMshelf Downloads

The way that we design buildings is changing; the 2D CAD drawing may soon be joining its hand drawn predecessors on the great drafting table in the sky, and it’s all down to BIM!

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the new standard for construction design, dragging plan and elevation views into a 3D world and bringing a wealth of helpful information along with it. BIM objects, like those below, can be used to produce a virtual representation of a building before a single brick has been laid, and it’s not just about aesthetics either. Intelligent information within each BIM component can help the designer to assess a vast range of parameters from simple fit and function, to energy usage and projected lifespan, this information is key to help design not only how the project is built, but also how it will perform in use.

Manthorpe Building Products has partnered with the BIMStore to help provide you with the highest standard of BIM content around. Our selection of BIM ready products can be found here.

Project Specific Take Off Service

For larger projects we offer builders, architects and developers a free of charge, project specific take off service for abutment cavity trays. Simply send us the elevation drawings (cavity trays) and we will calculate the type and quantity of products you require for your project.
 

Abutment Cavity Trays >

Whether it is a simple straight run, or a complex stepped abutment that wraps around 2 corners, Manthorpe’s in-house specialists can review project drawings and advise the builder of the right type and quantity of cavity trays they require for their project.

With a small amount of information about the wall construction and the elevation drawings of the detail, quotes can be easily produced on a specific detail, a whole plot or an entire site. Trays can also be quoted with or without lead, unleaded trays come as standard, but various lengths of code 4 or 5 lead can also be pre-fixed to the trays before shipping.
