Davie Court Care Home, in Sheerness, on Isle of Sheppey, Kent - is the latest in a series of properties to be upgraded using FIREFLY® barrier systems, in partnership with PiLON, one of its accredited installers based in the South-east. The four-month contract is being carried out by Bracknell based PiLON: an award-winning specialist contractor which has been active in the social house sector since 2004.

The site manager for PiLON, Gabriel Predescu, commented: “To carry out this work we have had a lot of our operatives undergo annual training with FIREFLY® and we are an approved installer for their systems. Here, it was the client which specified the use of Zeus and Collaroll along with the company’s adhesives and other materials."
