Resapol – Northwood Town Wall R


esapol, the UK’s trusted supplier of Specialist Construction Products, recently worked with existing customer Northwood House Charitable Trust for the recommendation of suitable products for the renovation of the Town Wall Entrance to Northwood House, situated in Cowes Isle of Wight. This included the old, narrow and steep steps leading to the former Nun’s quarters. The structures were in need a fresh coating in order to protect them from weather conditions and the elements. Structures surrounding the area had also fallen victim to graffiti, which had unfortunately defaced several locations. Northwood Trust sought solutions that were easy to use, provided a professional finish, whilst providing long lasting protection. After consulting with Resapol Southampton’s technical sales team, Intercrete 4891 (formerly Flexcrete Monodex Smooth) and Sikagard®


-850 Clear Anti-Graffiti were


put forward and subsequently chosen as the most suitable products. Intercrete 4891 is a high-performance water based, elastomeric, high build, decorative coating which provides


protection against carbonation and water ingress, yet allows damp substrates to breathe. It is ultra-fast drying which enables two coat applications to take place on the same day and facilitates year-round usage. It also comes in a range of attractive colours, including the pebble grey and pastel white colours that were selected for the project. To deal with the grafitti Sikagard Anti-Graffiti system was utilised on top of the Intercrete system. Sikagard®


-850 is a


one-part ready to use permanent anti-graffiti and anti-fly poster semi-matt coating. The product requires no dilution; once applied to a substrate any subsequent graffiti applied can be removed easily and quickly using a simple cold-water pressure sprayer without damaging the protection or requiring a refresher coat.


The materials supplied have performed exceptionally well,


initial expectations in terms of effectiveness and longevity.


far exceeding their Northwood Charitable


Trust are extremely pleased with the results and the project has also since won an RIBA award.

Hörmann Glazed Section Doors light up high-end garage project


With a number of luxury cars and motorbikes to house, an impressive new-build garage project in the West Midlands is all the more striking with the inclusion of fully glazed ART42 sectional garage doors from Hörmann UK. Chosen for their modern design aesthetic and German build quality the doors were specifi ed and installed by Birmingham based Doorfi t. The double-storey garage, which includes a home offi ce and gym on the fi rst fl oor, is fi tted with three, 2.5 m wide x 2 m high, fully automated ART42 sectional doors. Constructed from a lightweight, yet strong, alumiumum framework the three doors include narrow framed, large clear glazing panels featuring the unique Hörmann DURATEC scratch-resistance fi nish. An innovative surface coating, DURATEC protects the glazing panes from scratches and damage caused by cleaning over the long-term, helping to guarantee a permanently fl awless appearance. Finished in a smooth, modern Anthracite grey the three doors complement the other materials used and complete an impressive building ideal for displaying the clients’ extensive vehicle collection and offering a bright unimpeded view.

An experienced builder and roofi ng contractor has made use of some 300 standard and tapered Marmox Multiboards to complete a complex refurbishment of a large, top fl oor balcony on an apartment building in North London. Lightwood Construction carries out work for mainly residential clients right across the capital and has used Marmox Multiboards on many occasions in the past for both interior and exterior applications. In this instance, long term exposure to the weather and ponding had caused the original waterproofi ng system to deteriorate, and leaks to occur. Having stripped off all of the rotten felt and boarding, Lightwood Construction’s operatives installed 90 sheets of 20 mm thick 1250 mm x 600 mm standard Multiboards, along with 200 of the 1200 mm x 1200 mm cut-to-falls variant which taper from 33 mm down to 10 mm: enabling subtle gradients to be created in draining the balcony to multiple outlets. In completing the repairs to the 14.5-metre-long balcony, Lightwood Construction used 50 rolls of the 120mm wide waterproof tape and 96 tubes of Marmox’s 360 Multipurpose Adhesive, all purchased from Travis Perkins.
