WHAT’S NEW? JOIN THE KERAKOLL


#HAPPYTILER MOVEMENT Biogel adhesives make for happy tilers. There are only two products in the revolutionary new range of gel adhesives: Biogel No Limits, as standard set adhesive in powder form, and Biogel Extreme which is a two part adhesive. They are both very easy to work with and can be used for any job on any site, even on highly deformable substrates.


Why not try them out and get yourself some extra publicity while you are at it? The #HappyTiler campaign has been going since Kerakoll UK launched the Biogel range in June.


Get in touch with them to try out Biogel No Limits or Extreme, send them a photo of yourself with the finished job and the Kerakoll packaging and they’ll upload it to our Happy Tiler Facebook group and tweet it to their followers. Or just upload it yourself to the group.


You don’t have to limit yourself to No Limits or Extreme, if you are already a fan of Kerakoll products then let them have photos of any of your finished projects with you and the Kerakoll logo in them.

STONEWORK SPECIALIST SECURES CONTRACT AT £30M LEICESTER


DEVELOPMENT Stonework specialist Blanc de Bierges has won a contract to provide the entrance steps at a £30m development in Leicester.


The former Leicester City Council office on New Walk is being converted into offices, flats, shops and a car park.


Blanc de Bierges, based in Derby, is to supply all of the steps to the main entrance of the centre, which consists of two five-storey high buildings that are being built by Leicester property company, Sowden Group, using contractors John Sisk and Sons Ltd.


Chris McBride, Managing Director of Blanc de Bierges, said: “This is one of the biggest jobs we have done in the Midlands recently. It is good to be working with John Sisk and Franklin Ellis - they are involved in a lot of large prestigious contracts.


“Historically, Blanc de Bierges was renowned for large public realm

schemes. Following on from the work we did at the Brighton i360 plaza this year, we are now doing more, which is great for us. It’s good to know that people are opting for a higher quality product.”


The curved steps provided for the New Walk project are bespoke and made to order by Blanc de Bierges, with a total of 504 units forming the main entrance staircase and two side staircases.


They were cast using one of Blanc’s specialist reconstituted stone mixes, made to fit in with the resin bound gravel surrounding it. It is hoped they will be in place at the development by the end of the year.


The New Walk project was designed by Nottingham based Franklin Ellis Architects, which Blanc de Bierges assisted with the design from the early stages, providing samples, drawings and budgetary costings.


Once complete, the site will include 50,000 square feet of office space and 54 high-end apartments.
