LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS


Safety a priority with heavy duty stair tread FibreGrid’s SlipGrip®


Heavy Duty Anti Slip Stair Treads are produced using FibreGrid ExtremeCore™


grit,


which is twice as hard wearing as the industry standard quartz. The contrasting yellow or white nosings at 55mm x 55mm comply with UK Building Regulations and the Disability Discrimination Act. An example of its application is at the Sheffield Girl's School , where FibreGrid recently completed a major installation. The many stairwells at the school were fitted with the stair treads, plus Heavy Duty GRP Sheets, resulting in an extremely slip resistant finish in a high foot trafficked area. With a pre-constructed design, SlipGrip® non-slip stair treads can be walked on immediately and fitted with ease keeping downtime to a minimum, so helping to prevent unnecessary accidents. As well as offering a 10 year wear guarantee, the low profile fibreglass construction is also produced by the pultrusion method which means they will not bend, warp or split over time. In addition to being non slip, SlipGrip®


is also chemical resistant providing the perfect solution for


potentially hazardous areas, and is suitable for metal, wood and concrete stairs. 01440712722 www.fibregrid.com


Exemplary public realm with concrete


Shortlisted for the 2016 Stirling Prize, Trafalgar Place near London’s Elephant and Castle provides an exemplar for high density development and the exceptional public realm that helps define the project, featured in an important new case study from the trade body Interpave. The carefully designed external spaces which help define the project are a result of the close working relationship between landscape architects Randle Siddeley and an Interpave member paving manufacturer. The entrance square, central pedestrian street and access ways to dwellings are characterised by high quality concrete block paving set out in patterns using five different sizes for visual richness. With a combination of three shades of grey, the paving blocks have been shot-blasted for a sparkling, textured surface. For the more homely northern route and play area less formal, ‘rumbled’ concrete block paving style was used in warmer rustic colour tones. Concrete flag paving provides level access around the courtyard linking the various spaces generated by raised planters of varying heights. The concrete flag paving incorporates up to 60 per cent recycled and reclaimed materials.

Designing for retro-fit is often a problem as the impact of taking up existing surfaces can be prohibitive. Clients asked for a solution when installing paving or decking at extremely low heights. Wallbarn developed the MINI MEGAPAD 10-20mm available for both paving and decking. This is a loose fitting suspended system; the weight of the slab or timber joist keeps the system secure. The pedestals are fully adjustable via a telescopic thread, so tiny changes in the height are possible. The pedestals have a series of spokes around the circumfer- ence and a handle on one side so “fat fingered” contractors can twist the stems effectively. The MINI MEGAPAD 10-20mm is ideal for fitting paving or timber decking onto flat roofs, balconies and terraces. So long as you have a structural surface beneath, rather than take up and replace old terrace surfaces, just overlay them.
