NEWSFLASH KÄHRS MAKES
IDEAL HOME Kährs’ wood flooring designs recently featured in the Ideal Home Show’s main feature - three full sized properties, including The Future Proof Home and The Gap House. Kährs’ stylish, sustainable designs were chosen by designer, Sophie de Castro, to reflect each property’s distinct interior features and eco-credentials.
Created by Trivselhus-by-Esh, The Future Proof Home was built in a factory and then assembled on site, with many of its energy saving features embedded into the fabric from the outset. The property had clean lines, synonymous with Swedish architecture; Kährs Ash Sandvig, with its strong Nordic look and lively graining, complemented the Scandinavian-styling.
Measuring just three metres wide, The Gap House was designed to fit between two buildings; its tiny footprint similar to a garage or allotment space.
OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION AWARD FOR BAL TRAINING
MANAGER BAL Training Manager Dave Rowley has been recognised with a prestigious industry award for playing a vital contribution to the development of skills and knowledge
throughout the tiling industry.
Dave, who joined BAL in 1992 after completing an apprenticeship in wall and floor tiling, was presented with the Outstanding Contribution to Industry award at The Tile Association Awards 2015.
Alex Underwood, Head of Marketing, said: “Dave has been instrumental in helping to raise standards across the industry, developing and delivering modular introductory courses for new people entering the industry as well
as structured and bespoke training courses on advanced techniques and product knowledge.
“Since joining BAL, Dave has personally trained in the region of 10,000 people, helping to position BAL as the leading manufacturer for training excellence. Most recently he was at the forefront of the development of the company’s new, state-of-the- art, Innovation and Technology Centre which provides outstanding facilities to deliver innovative training courses for distributors, retailers, contractors, specifiers and tilers.”
On receiving his award Dave said: “I am extremely passionate about training, which I believe is vital to the continued success of the company and the tiling industry in general. Maintaining high standards and fixing techniques helps to prevent poor practices and incorrect specifications which can have a negative impact for all in the industry including manufacturers, distributors, specifiers, contractors and fixers.”
