Thermacote

ThermaCote®'s unique Ceramic Coating Technology reflects radiant heat back into the interior, minimizing heat loss through walls, roofs, and attics. This ensures that the warmth generated by heating systems remains within the building, providing better heat retention. This decreases the need for continuous heating and leads to lower energy consumption, which translates into significant cost savings on utility bills for homeowners and businesses alike.

ThermaCote® helps maintain a stable and comfortable indoor climate by reducing heat escape. This consistent temperature control enhances occupant comfort during colder months, eliminating cold spots and drafts within the building

You can find ThermaCote at Stand 5 in the Trade Village.

Rainclear Systems

Infinity ZM Steel lasts longer and retains the shiny, metallic finish for longer.

The Infinity galv steel gutters by Rainclear have been improved with a new, innovative coating of Zinc, Magnesium and Aluminium to produce an even more robust Infinity ‘ZM’ rainwater system with an improved full system guarantee of 20 years.

The combination of zinc, 3.5% aluminium, and 3% magnesium in the 310g/sqm metallic coating provides a breakthrough in corrosion protection – three times better than traditionally galvanised steel (zinc only coated metal).

With the same self-healing effect once cut with a hacksaw (no spinning blade please – heating up the coated metal releases toxic zinc fumes) ensures an unprecedented level of surface and cut-edge protection, even in some of the most hostile environments (C1-4)).


You can find Rainclear Systems at The Dale House (Gable End) & at Stand 18 in the Trade Village.

Seize the Moment: Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Self Build Your Dream Home

We received this blog from longstanding exhibitor, Fleming Homes and found the piece inspiring, and wanted to share this with you. We hope this offers encouragement as you embark on your homebuilding project.

"Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect." Alan Cohen*

Alan Cohen's quote captures a powerful truth that’s particularly relevant to self-building. When the housing market feels uncertain, when interest rates continue to feel elevated in comparison with the record lows of 2020-2021, or when material prices fluctuate, it’s tempting to put the brakes on our plans - to hold off until things calm down.

The Homebuilding Centre Limited - now majority owned by its employees!

Since 2014, our award-winning visitor centre (The National Self Build & Renovation Centre / NSBRC) has been owned and operated by ‘The Homebuilding Centre Limited’, an employee-owned business. We welcomed our first visitors to the NSBRC in 2007 and, eighteen years on, we remain the UK’s only permanent exhibition centre designed specifically to meet the needs of individual self-builders, renovators and home improvers.
