BAL are revolutionising the standard-set category with new adhesive technology; BAL Flex One. With its ‘One’ rapid-set technology, BAL have previously helped fixers with its rapid-setting products that provide significantly longer open and working times than all other rapid-set products but are still ready to grout in three hours. With ever larger tiles growing in popularity, complex designs required, possibly difficult or irregular backgrounds on-site and even hotter temperatures being experienced now in the summer months; the use of even improved rapid-set adhesives still may not provide enough open, working or adjustability time for a fixer. The new BAL technology is the first truly enhanced standard-set technology – developed from traditional standard-set chemistry as a basis. BAL’s R&D team have developed an enhanced standard set adhesive with a long open time, excellent non-slip properties and may be grouted in as little as six hours. BAL Flex One provides a truly innovative technology that raises the standard.

According to healing design principles, superior acoustics in hospitals are recognised as one of the most impor- tant factors in their design. This is being proved in an innovative temporary patient room for a major new hospital being built in Copenhagen. Bispebjerg hospital is an ultramodern psychiatric project covering 22,500sqm which includes an emergency admission unit and provides 200 rooms for patients. The study focuses on creating a stress-free environment where patients feel secure and at peace. In this room, the lighting is a combination of natural daylight and dynamic LED lighting that is specially adapted to suit the circadian rhythm. Good acoustics are ensured by light coloured Troldtekt ceiling panels in a fine finish, while the walls have been clad with acoustic oak slats which provide natural ventilation with more fresh air and reduced solar gain in the summer months. Specified throughout the UK and Europe, the benefits of 100 per cent Troldtekt natural wood wool panels include high sound absorption, high durability, natural breathability, low cost life cycle performance and sustainability as documented by Cradle to Cradle certification at silver level.

Profile 22 Flush Tilt & Turn Windows were chosen for a £24 million project to build new accommodation for 735 students at Sheffield Hallam University. While aluminium windows were specified for the building’s street facing elevations


in order to meet planning requirements, Profile 22’s high performance Flush Tilt & Turn Windows in Smooth Anthracite Grey were specified for the internal courtyard. Purposely designed for medium and high rise buildings, the sash on the Flush Tilt & Turn Window is neatly positioned inside the frame of the window to create an elegant and sleek ‘flush’ appearance that means it is a cost-effective alternative to aluminium.
