24 APPOINTMENTS & NEWS; BATHROOMS & WETROOMS; BUILDING PRODUCTS At home with Grundfos


At Grundfos, we are proud of our reputation for supplying many of the homes with dependable heating circulators. However, there is much more to Grundfos than this, we can offer a surprisingly large and sophisti- cated product portfolio. We know that these products may not be as quite as well-known


as the Grundfos UPS2 and ALPHA3 heating circulator ranges or indeed our family of SOLOLIFT macerators that have become increasingly popular in recent years. Then there is the Grundfos SCALA2, a WRAS approved, fully integrated water booster pump that provides the perfect water pressure to support up to eight water outlets, operating at the same time.

ANCON has re-engineered its IHR internal head restraint to accommodate gaps at the wall head of up to 75mm, extending the previous maximum of 50mm. Head Restraints provide a simple support at the top of masonry panels. They are typically installed in the inner leaf of blockwork on a framed structure, where the masonry is


non-loadbearing. Design resistances are available for this new improved IHR range, based on independent product testing. This information is available in the Ancon Wall Ties and Restraint Fixings technical literature available to download.

Builder and Plasterers Essentials


One of the world’s largest construction manufacturers, Simpson Strong- Tie, has released a new catalogue of structural connectors, beads and meshes aimed squarely at the repair, maintenance and improvement sector. The 2018 ‘Builder and Plasterers Essentials’ brochure includes all of the core products that the professional builder or plasterer reaches for when renovating or extending homes. Simpsons’ Sarah Greenway explains: “We wanted to provide something more accessible to the builders’ merchant. We spoke to our customers and they told us what they really like to see in the catalogue (and what they don’t particularly need), and this is the result – a brochure focussed entirely on the things that matter to the RMI sector.”


The lighter and easier to navigate brochure is now online and hard copies are available on request.
