www.bal-adhesives.com Cool concrete sinks for industrial style kitchens
Building on the popular trend for industrial style kitchens, a truly unique range of concrete-style sinks has been introduced by design pioneer, BLANCO UK. Eight sinks, from three ranges – ETAGON, VINTERA and METRA – are now available in the super-durable, award winning Silgranit®
material in the new concrete colour. The portfolio is perfect for those who aspire to something different; every sink is unique in terms of the way the finish appears. The structure varies from sink to sink while gradients differ just like real polished concrete surfaces. It even has the same tactile qualities as concrete but is much more hardwearing. The Silgranit is an anti-bacterial material which is easy to clean and super-hygienic.

subscribepage.com/hbd Multiboard finds its calling for Kettering convent conversion
The ease of installation and all round performance characteristics offered by MarmoxMultiboard have led to a leading dry-lining contractor recommending the versatile tile-backer boards to a client engaged in the redevelopment of a former convent near Kettering. Conroy Dry Lining originally learnt about Multiboard through the trade press, but the directors of the family run business became converts after purchasing a pack for a trial installation and now they are making rapid progress employing large quantities of the 12.5mm x 1200mm x 2400mm boards, plus metal washers, for the bathrooms within the 60, three-storey town houses as well as the apartments being created in the old listed building. Director Leo Conroy, who runs Conroy Dry Lining with his brother Martin, commented: “We had used differ- ent tile-backer boards on projects in the past, but having seen an advert for the Marmox product we bought 40 sheets to try them out and were really impressed with how easy they are to install: our lads love them as they just cut with a knife. On the Kettering project we’re doing all the internal plaster-boarding and skimming, but in the bathrooms – for which we proposed the Multiboard to the developer – the boards are being fixed to the timber frame for the tilers to follow on. We’re really impressed with the product and have recommended it for some other prestige work.”
