Warehouses get the One Can treatment W
arehouses on a Dorset industrial estate have received an impressive makeover using Bradite One Can.
Half a dozen buildings on the Townsend Business Park at Bere Regis have been thoroughly spruced up by RJ Murphy Decorators Ltd. The all-in-one quality of the coating which is both primer and fi nisher,
plus the quick drying time meant the job could be handled by four to fi ve painters in one week. “We just had to clear vehicles out the way of one building and could complete that before moving on to the next,” says Ray Murphy. The two-tone colour scheme – Moorland Green BS12B21 and with trims painted in Mushroom BS10B19 gives a fresh new look to the estate.
Supplied by Brewers Decorator Centre in nearby Christchurch the choice of One Can was a foregone conclusion for the contractor. “It does what it says on the tin,” says Ray, adding; “and its sticky” referring to the formulation’s adhesive strength on any substrate. The water-based,
virtually odourless,
coating has tough anti-corrosive properties particularly suited to exposed or coastal locations.
One Can – Matt is a primer, stain blocker and matt fi nish, all in one can. Water-based, this product is virtually odourless and is touch dry in as little as 30 minutes, with recoats possible after just one hour.
Applied by spray, roller or brush, One Can – Matt provides excellent adhesion to many substrates, including interior and exterior joinery, metals, building plastics and cementitious surfaces, whilst also providing powerful stain blocking.
No matter the substrate it is applied to, One Can – Matt delivers a professional fi nish along with tough anti-corrosive properties.

sales@tormax.co.uk Novum Structures and Pyroguard deliver innovative facade glazing system for cruise liners
Novum Structures and Pyroguard have worked in partnership to design a fi re-rated, clear-view facade glazing system that is fully tested and accredited to meet A30 and A60 fi re resistance criteria for use on cruise liners. The innovative solution was developed for the Royal Caribbean Group and fi rst used as part of its latest ‘Wonder of the Seas’ liner. Novum’s design aimed to achieve the maximum glazed area, with minimised steel frame, offering an unimpaired vision for the passengers. Pyroguard’s glazing system had to deliver exceptional fi re resistance while maintaining a clear-view facade glazing system without obstructing frame elements. Specifi cally, it had to meet A30 and A60 fi re-resistance criteria. The Pyroguard and Novum glazing solution achieved IMO MED (International Maritime Organisation Marine Equipment Directive) certifi cations, which ensure the system meets strict fi re and safety performance for marine applications. Steve Goodburn, business development director at Pyroguard said: “We are delighted to have worked closely with Novum to develop fully tested and certifi ed fi re-rated, clear-view facade glazing systems for cruise liners.”
