Nordic Royal Copper
One of the most exciting recent developments for copper as a modern architectural material for facades is the introduction of Nordic Royal by international metals specialist Luvata. Nordic Royal is an alloy of copper with aluminium and zinc, which is very stable and keeps its warm golden shade. Unlike pure copper, which develops a dark brown colour with oxidisation followed by its distinctive green patina, Nordic Royal has a thin protective oxide layer containing all three alloy elements when produced. As a result, the surface retains its golden colour.

Type LTT - Level Threshold Tray
The level threshold is an everyday feature in construction that can be
problematic. Cavity Trays
of Yeovil has come up with a Level Threshold Tray (Type LTT). It provides an effective way of isolating both external and internal threshold skins to great advantage. The Type LTT encapsulates the threshold masonry so the transmittance of damp from the exterior skin inwardly or from the inner skin upwardly is prevented regardless of the manner the flooring is interfaced with the tray. The Type LTT is manufactured in solid petheleyne dpc and is available in a range of sizes to suit the dimensions of all standard openings.

The College and the Local Authority are extremely happy with the end result. Intensive consultations took place as the brief for this project required Alimatic to specially design many elements, including the corner panels to ensure the smooth installation.

Burdens Launches Tradestore Catalogue for Ground Workers

Designed for ease of use whether on site or within the purchasing office, the catalogue features over 1350 product lines, many of which may not have been associated with Burdens before. As well as premier brands such as Stihl, Honda, Belle, Makita and Husqvarna, the range includes the latest Burdens brand consumables giving exceptional value for money. All of this is supported by workshops based at the group’s distribution sites. This initiative further strengthens the group’s claim to be the one-stop solution to customers’ needs – though, with a network of more than 50 depots, each offering a comprehensive range of tools, plant, materials and equipment for the industry, ‘one-stop’ is a slight underestimate!
