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 available online from the Simpson Strong-Tie website, hard copies are available on request.

www.strongtie.co.uk Helifix Dixie micro-piles support statue
The versatile Helifix Dixie piled foundation system has recently been installed to support a statue of World War II hero, Air Chief Marshal, Sir Keith Park. Due to the proximity of this new statue to both electrical and drainage services, Dixie micro-piles were selected as a reliable and cost-effective
alternative to traditional concrete foundations. These Helifix pipe piles screw into virtually any type of soil, quickly and easily, with minimal disruption, noise or spoil removal and would be easier to extract from the ground in the future, by simply being ‘unscrewed’.

www.helifix.co.uk StrongFix – Norbord’s improved support
Specifically designed for dry lining applications, Norbord’s SterlingOSB Zero StrongFix is a precision engineered oriented strand board (OSB) with a special groove machined into the edge for metal
C-studs at 600mm centres. SterlingOSB Zero is made from several layers of softwood strands, carefully layered and bonded under heat and pressure with a strong zero-formaldehyde resin to create a strong board. Superior to plywood, which contains knotholes, splits and cracks, OSB has a consistent density meaning you can attach fixings, hang pictures or fit items of furniture securely anywhere on the panel.
