A Surrey business has become the first in the country to stock a revolutionary new American floor protection product.
Trio Plus recently received its first shipment of the US-made Ram Board, a unique temporary hard floor protector ideal for use during building projects,
renovations and DIY work. The delivery makes it the only company in the UK to stock the heavy duty temporary floor protection, manufactured in California.
Originally designed to protect floors from the heavy demands of the Hollywood movie industry, the super strength hard floor protection has been used on sets in blockbusters such as Armageddon, The Hulk, Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Richard Scrannage, managing director of Trio
Plus said, “We are always on the look-out for tough new products to protect floors in homes and workplaces and they don’t come much tougher than Ram Board. Already a brand name in the USA, Trio Plus is delighted to be the only UK stockist of this product. We expect it to be a big hit with builders and contractors who need reliable, temporary floor protection that can be installed quickly and removed with the minimum of fuss at the end of the job.”

REBUILDING CONSTRUCTION
New Glenigan data shows that the construction industry has seen a 6% year on year increase in the underlying value of projects starting on site. Growth in utilities, industrial, office, private and social housing project all contributed to the
18
first growth seen by the industry in a year.
The most significant increase was in the utilities sector, which grew by 24% with several renewable energy projects starting on site, including a £28m scheme contracted to
Solarbright to install photovoltaic panels on approximately 2,000 council owned housing properties and five operational properties in Colchester.
Regionally, the South East and South West saw the most significant growth, with
the East Midlands, West Midlands, Yorkshire and Wales all seeing annual growth of over 10%. In stark contrast, the underlying value of project starts in Scotland fell by nearly a third.
