Offer of a lifetime AQATA, the UK shower enclosure manufacturer, now offers a lifetime guarantee on all its high-quality glass shower enclosures, screens and walk-ins. In order to ensure its polished glass stays looking pristine and for the ultimate in easy-cleaning shower regimes, AQATA offers customers the option of ordering all of its enclosures, doors and screens with glass protection treatment ClearShield Eco-System. The new ClearShield Eco-System is factory applied by Aqata to the shower-side of the glass and works just like non-stick cookware, acting as a lasting protective barrier on the surface. Its unique non-stick properties make it difficult for limescale and other residues to adhere and build up on the surface. The absence of dirt and other contaminants prevents staining and discolouration and creates a more hygienic surface, as it becomes resistant to bacteria growth. The result is shower glass that stays looking newer and brighter for longer, eliminating the need for harsh and abrasive cleaning products. It is guaranteed for up to 10 years as long as a simple care programme is followed, using the special After- Care solution approved for regular use with this product. www.aqata.co.uk


Size matters


Sika has added a 20kg bucket size for its popular Damp-proofing Slurry – a high-quality, thin-layer, waterproof slurry coating that can be applied quickly and easily. Sika’s Damp-proofing Slurry comes ready to use and can simply be brushed on, providing a water- and damp-proof finish that is suitable for use on masonry, concrete, stone, block, bricks and tile surfaces. Perfect for those bigger jobs, the product is now available in a 20kg bucket size, alongside the existing 12.5kg bucket, and 25kg sack, which are available in grey. Jayne Hasoon, product manager from Sika, commented: “Where time is of the essence, Sika’s Damp-proofing Slurry is the ideal solution due to the ease with which it can be applied and the speed with which it hardens. With the introduction of our new 20kg bucket size, builders can now mix the product directly on site, saving time and cost.” http://gbr.sika.com/builder


Hidden depths

Sub-Zero has introduced a groundbreaking line of integrated refrigeration as part of the New Generation product launch, the largest product rollout in the company’s 68-year history. The new integrated refrigeration line is the culmination of Sub-Zero’s industry-leading food preservation technology and impeccable design, which offers seamless incorporation into any kitchen. In addition, all of the column, tall and drawer refrigerator units will now be offered in four widths, totalling 16 new models. All Sub- Zero products contain separate, sealed cooling systems for the refrigerator and freezer that ensure optimum preservation conditions for each type of food. Fresh food requires chilly, humid air to stay fresh; frozen food needs frigid, dry air to preserve flavour. Dual refrigeration eliminates cross-compartment flavour contamination and reduces freezer burn. However, new to integrated refrigeration is Sub-Zero’s unique air purification system that reduces elements that cause food to spoil. Mould, bacteria, viruses and especially ethylene gas are all significantly reduced. The new integrated refrigeration also contains a drawer that is a lower-temperature, higher-humidity zone – a refrigerator within a refrigerator – with the perfect conditions for produce and meats. www.subzero-wolf.co.uk
