Innovative wood profi les: Elevating design and function with Havwoods
P
rofi le fi nishes are a versatile and practical way to enhance the appearance and functionality of staircases and fl ooring
alike. Available as part of Havwoods’ offering, the profi les provide a polished and professional
aesthetic by framing edges,
creating clean, smooth transitions between different fl oor surfaces and in doorways, accommodating the necessary expansion gaps and concealing imperfections such as uneven cuts or gaps. A wide range of profi les are on offer, including
Bullnose, DDA Nosing, among others,
Flush Nosing and allowing
customers countless options to customise and complement their projects. Customers can also opt for a budget-friendly unfi nished profi le or can choose between a natural light oak matt lacquered fi nish or coloured to complement on a majority of Havwoods’ fl oor fi nishes. Alternative and Bespoke nosing options are available so please call Havwoods for more information.
The rounded edge of the Bullnose profi le eliminates sharp corners, making it a safer option for residential homes with children or elderly relatives. The Flush Nosing profi le provides a very contemporary style, whilst also improving the safety on staircases. This option is joined to the fl ooring surface and the tread and riser part of the step, creating a smooth fi nish, with no overhang to trip on. The softer edges are also less likely to chip or sustain damage, making these profi les a popular choice for any busy environment. DDA Nosings and Inserts are also available, which have been designed to improve the safety of the visually impaired. Customers can choose between contrasting brass, silver aluminium, stainless steel or black powder coated metal strips, as well as a range of Black Rubber Inserts that sit within the nosing and aim to minimise accidents. The range of profi les from Havwoods has been designed to protect wood edges from wear and tear, chipping and damage,
and therefore extend the lifespan of
the
materials used. They can also help to improve the overall functionality and aesthetics of fl ooring, walls and staircases by strengthening joints, softening sharp corners for safety and ensuring easy cleaning.
Now also included in Havwoods’ profi le range are fi nishing profi les for use with vertical products and surfaces, including edge profi les and capping profi les for half height wall cladding.

Falkirk Cala Homes specifi es Style for space fl exibility
At the Falkirk offi ces of Cala, purveyor of premium homes, Style worked with architect, Graven, and contractor, GM Projects, to create fl exible space in the ground fl oor meeting room. A Dorma Huppe Varifl ex moveable wall was deemed the best option, with semi-automatic operation and an impressive 52dB acoustic rating. To complement the clean, modern interior of the room the moveable wall panels were fi nished in cement grey and, thanks to the ease and lightweight manoeuvrability of this market leading moveable wall, the room can be quickly divided to cater for different requirements every day. “Ensuring the correct pressure is applied to maximise acoustic performance, the robust rubbers seals expand automatically as the panels are moved into position, explains Angela McGowan, sales director for Style Scotland. “Adding functionality, a pass door between the divided areas allows the moveable wall to remain in place for extended periods of time.” The Dorma Varifl ex moveable wall effectively divides the room into two, enabling various types of meetings to occur while retaining the fl exibility to open up the space into a larger, open-plan layout.
