It’s time to come together C
ottage Craft Spirals has been rebranded as British Spirals and Castings following the decision to merge the three existing
brands of Cottage Craft Spirals, Tilley’s London Castings and Milton Aluminium Castings. Established in 1980, the family run business
has built up an enviable reputation for designing and producing truly bespoke and unique stair- cases, balconies and railings. Richard Harding, managing director of British
Spirals and Castings commented: “We are delighted to introduce the new brand to our existing and prospective customers. We took the decision to merge the three individual brands to present a more cohesive offering, while still being able to provide the personal and bespoke service we have always delivered. “Despite our strong growth, British Spirals and Castings firmly remains a family business, with my daughter Antonia and son Ben working as part of the management team.” As part of the rebrand British Spirals and Castings has launched a brand new website,

James Latham is now offering the Rolls-Royce of Eucalyptus through all eight of its timber depots, with the arrival of Grandis 690+, a WoodEx Engineered Grandis. Delivering a number of benefits to customers; namely sustainability, natural durability, ease of use and continuity of supply, Grandis 690+ (a reference to its impressive density scoring against other products available on the market) is 100 per cent FSC plantation grown from an area of 220,000 hectares and produced exclusively from a single species. Fully compliant with EUTR legislation and verified by TRADA, Grandis 690+ has been extensively tested at the Federal University of Paraná in Brazil where it scored highly against stringent criteria including strength and durability (achieving 2 - 3; durable to moderately durable) as well as density, (690 - 750 kg/m3
k/g/m3
@12 per cent M/c – the same species in other parts of the world has only achieved 595 ), making it particularly suitable for joinery and structural use. Plus, it has also been assessed for
one-hour fire test requirements. It boasts an impressive natural durability, resisting infestation from insects, therefore greatly reducing the chance of bore holes etc. as well as maintaining its aesthetic properties. Paul Leach, group product sales and development manager for WoodEx and Accoya at James Latham explained: “With Grandis 690+, the timber is allowed to grow more naturally and reach full maturity of approximately 28 years, hence the extra density. It really is an impressive timber and one which ticks all the boxes, both for ourselves but also for our customers...”

Osmo UK’s eco-friendly wood finishes have been used to protect and enhance a selection of handmade bedroom furniture. Fine furniture and cabinet maker SBT Design was con- tracted to design and create two bedside cabinets and a large dresser. in solid and veneered Walnut. To ensure optimum protection, a range of Osmo wood finishing products were specified. SBT Design treated the wood with Osmo Cherry #3137 Wood Wax Finish Transparent. The
satin-matt wood finish combines all the advantages of oils and waxes in one unique product, provides a great protective base and gives the wood a rich warm colouring. Osmo Polyx-Oil 3032 Clear was applied on top.

www.britishsc.co.uk, where customers can find detailed information on all the products and ranges available. Cottage Craft Spirals originally started with
only one design (the Victorian) and one diame- ter. Today there are three cast spiral designs, tra- ditional, art deco and contemporary, 13 differ- ent diameters and an ability to make straight and kited staircases. A range of solid wooden spiral, straight and kited staircases are also made within the business. Over the years a showroom was opened in
London Tilley’s London Castings, which supplied a core market in the South East with London style cast stairs, railings and gates, as well as carry- ing out bespoke restorations of stair balustrades. In 2009, Milton Aluminium Castings, a
foundry in the West Midlands was added to the portfolio. This ensured that the staircase products would continue to be British made and quality controlled from start to finish. Milton Aluminium Castings also produces quality castings for the auto, aerospace and engineering industries.
