Traditional Tiled Sills have launched a brand new way for builders to fit aesthetically pleasing, clay tiled window sills, wall copings & pier caps on their buildings without the high labour cost of previously employed techniques. The tiled sill assemblies, available to include all standard window frame sizes, utilize high quality red clay tiles (as standard) and are fully engineered to provide rigid assemblies that can be pallet delivered and hand carried into position for quick and efficient fitting. Sills for typical bow & bay window applications can also be supplied in straight or curved sections and all the sills are equally effective for use with wooden or PVC window frames. As an option they can be supplied in almost any choice of tile configuration with a wide variety of colours; further enhancing their versatility. The sill designs allow for easy positioning and they can be finish pointed in as little as 2 /3 hours. The newly introduced range of pre-manufactured pier caps and wall coping sections compliment the pre-manufactured tiled window sills and address the same builders problem that the hand laying of tiled pier caps and wall coping “on site” is tedious, time consuming and difficult to get looking right especially during poor weather. The wall coping sections from Traditional Tiled Sills in contrast can allow the laying of lengths upto 40 metres per hour without difficulty. The (red clay as standard) pier caps and coping can be supplied in either creasing or fluted tiles and the pier caps are 390x390mm, the tiled coping sections are 915mm long for the fluted tiles and 820mm for the creasing tiles, allowing easy handling and butt jointing for longer wall lengths. As with the window sills any choice of tile configuration in a wide variety of colours can be specified further enhancing their versatility. All the pre-manufactured assemblies feature a tough aluminium core that

Thirst for innovation K
erakoll proves the company’s thirst for innovation by starting work on its GreenLab in Sassulo, the site of the new R&D laboratories. The building features environmentally conscious design techniques, and will cost around 14 million Euro to complete. Once complete it will be the first service sector building in Italy built using solely sustainable materials and solutions. The group will centralize its research and development operations in the new laboratories, focusing on green technology in particular. The completion of the new R&D laboratories in early 2011 will mark the launch of a cutting- edge structure covering some 7,000 square metres over four floors, fitted out
with latest generation equipment and once fully up and running, staffed by more than 100 new engineers and green building researchers. Finding and developing innovative green building solutions was the cornerstone of a project that combines the sustainable aspects of the building itself (bioclimate and energy efficiency) with the high standard of the interiors occupied by the researchers, from the perception of the architectural space to the relations generated within it. Only natural, breathable and ecological products of Kerakoll’s own manufacture were considered. The quality and comfort of the indoor working environment will be guaranteed by the materials and building practices used. For further information, telephone01527 578000, email
