INTERIORS (WALL & FLOOR FINISHES)
Bamboo flooring offers clear sustainability advantages and is proven to
be CO2 neutral over the full life cycle from the growing phase, production, use and end of life. It’s long been known that bamboo has hypo-allergenic properties which improves the environment for allergy suffers, but more recently customers are asking about the VOCs or formaldehyde content; is bamboo a safe option for my children or my new-born? As an example, our bamboo flooring has very low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and with the use of eco-friendly adhesives with no added formaldehyde, can comply with the strictest European emissions norm of E1 or EO.
one of the best choices for any busy family household where there are children racing around on scooters or skateboards, for entertaining and parties, or for homes with pets as the surface is harder and more durable than the likes of oak or other hardwood species. In bathroom installations we always say
good ventilation is key and surface water is to be removed when spilt as the bamboo is still prone to movement, but only if not looked after. We have a range of flooring colours, textured surfaces and effects which give choices for the use of bamboo in different rooms– so you can never have too much!

Cost wise, just because bamboo is sustainable and super-durable doesn’t mean it’s more expensive than its timber alternatives – in fact bamboo prices per m2

Leading provider of sliding door hardware systems – P C Henderson - has partnered up with Fantom to introduce a new magnetic door stop accessory to its range of products. The Fantom Magnetic Door Stop is an innovative door stop solution which uses a neodymium magnet installed into the base of the door to pull a floor pin up and stop a door in the open or closed position. The accessory has been expertly designed to offer a more discreet and concealed alternative to a traditional door stop and is set to be extremely popular across the DIY, building and construction markets. Andrew Royle, Sales and Marketing Director at P C Henderson, commented; “What’s great about Fantom is that, unlike conventional door stops, it offers a completely concealed finish meaning no trip hazard and a cleaner finish. The striker plate is fitted underneath the door and the stop sits completely flush to the floor -meaning there’s no unsightly hardware on display and all moving parts are hidden”. “We’re noticing more and more that our customers are coming to us expecting a full hardware solution - beyond our traditional sliding door hardware offering. As a result - we’ve introduced Fantom to our range and will also be offering our customers with a new, extended collection of handles and flush pulls in October 2019”. The Fantom Magnetic Door Stop can be used on a number of surfaces including carpets, tiles, concrete and wood and is available in a variety of finishes.
