42 PAINTS, STAINS & FINISHES
A bold front Brixton’s Vassall Road in South London is the location of a new Housing and Healthcare Centre designed by Tony Fretton Architects. The development provides a doctor’s surgery on the ground floor with two 2-bedroom flats and seven 2-bedroom maisonettes on the floors above. A key feature of the design is the dark brick skin of the front elevation, with handmade bricks especially treated with a black colourwash from Keim Mineral Paints to simulate the aged quality of the brickwork in the adjacent villas. Keim Restauro Lasur is a low pigmentation colourwash which also provides a longlife protective finish.

BAL Green Screed Adhesive dramatically reduces necessary screed drying times, making it ideal for tiling onto new screeds against tight deadlines. Laying tiles before a screed is completely dry means risking drying shrinkage movement. This can cause lost adhesion, bulging tiles or cracking tiles or grout. According to BS 5385, a new cement/sand screed should be allowed at least three weeks to dry before tiling starts. For new concrete,: the Standard recommends at least six weeks for it to dry. Sometimes, even a few days is too long to wait. A tiler using BAL Green Screed Adhesive can avoid weeks of delay. Just one day of drying is needed before tiling onto new cement/sand, saving 20 days. With concrete, just seven days of drying are required, a five-week time saving.
