Stainless steel system for indoors & out Richard Burbidge has extended its commercial range with the introduction of a stainless steel system suitable for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications, from shopping centre staircases to external public balconies. The new modular handrail and balustrade range incorporates curved or continuous steel handrails with steel newels and a choice of glass panels or steel balusters. An optional timber handrail is also available for added design flexibility. The system has been independently tested to resist loadings of 1.5kN/m and 3.0kN/m in line with BS 6399,1,1996, and has an adjustable handrail height to meet with Building Regulations.

Wonderwall (and ceiling) Swindons Oais Centre has been refurbished with the help of products from Delta Membrane Systems & some 2,800m2
of Delta PT was used. BBA-
Certified, Delta-PT is a high performance polyethylene waterproof membrane extruded into a series of studs to create a continuous air gap behind.On the face of the membrane is a welded mesh which allows plasters and renders to bond efficiently to achieve dry and durable finishes. Dab-fixing of board finishes is also an option. Delta-PT is watertight, and resistant to high and low temperature extremes (-30oC to +80oC). It will also stand-up to the adverse effects of acids, alkalis, oil and solvents, and is approved for use in drinking water
applications.The 8mm studs serve a dual purpose, isolating the damp wall from the new plaster and decorative finishes, and allowing ventilation of the wall for permanent dampness control.

A strong bond When Vision Design Projects constructors of glass atriums and stairwells decided to modernise their own premises, they chose, for their stairwell, a structurally bonded glass option using specially commissioned panels from ESG. This was achieved using precision made toughened laminated panels produced by ESG, structurally bonded on site by the experts at Vision Design Projects Ltd. Structural bonding, using silicone, allows the construction of architectural features such as glass balconies, shop fronts, balustrades, screens, lift shafts and stairwells, all without bolt fixings giving clear uninterrupted lines.

Metro showpiece Multiple curves in the vaulted ceilings of Newcastle’s rebuilt Haymarket Metro station provided a tough new challenge for Knauf MP75 machine-applied plaster. Knauf MP75 is normally used for a high quality finish on masonry walls, where it us up to three times faster than conventional hand-applied two-coat plasters. Ornate Interiors Contracts Manager Jim Dodd says “Considering the team sprayed 18 tons of MP75, mostly overhead, the end result is exceptionally good. Everyone involved with the project is very pleased.”Knauf MP75 is a bagged dry plaster which is machine-mixed with water and pumped to a spray nozzle for application to masonry walls.

A showcase
production area Troax UK Limited has designed & constructed a showcase production area for Bushboard, the UK’s largest independent manufacturer of work surfaces. Broadsword partitioning was ideal for the project as its modular construction made it simple for Troax to build the 45m x 16m enclosure to fit the existing space available on the factory floor. The enclosure is open at both ends so staff can access the area easily. John Andrew at Bushboard explains: “Troax were recommended to us for this project by another of our suppliers and we have been very impressed with both their service and the quality of their products”.

Principal choice for grand re-furb The intelligent, energy saving trade paint Ecosure Matt Light & Space from Dulux Trade was specified for the redecoration of the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent
Garden.The Ecosure range has 35 per cent less embodied carbon & virtually zero VOC content. By combining it with the light reflective Light & Space colour range, the paint was the perfect choice. The use of LumitecTM
technology and high Light
Reflectance Value (LRV) colours in the Dulux Trade Light & Space colour range ensures that light is reflected rather than absorbed, meaning it is distributed around a room more effectively, and less energy is needed to light a room. The use of Light & Space trade paints can therefore lead to a significant reduction in energy costs, up to 20 per cent on average. Click here to request literature
