Woodura® B
Herringbone from Bjelin brings stylish innovation to hardened wood floors
jelin is launching a durable herringbone floor powered by patented Woodura® technology, which enables it to offer a modern take on a timeless classic. Woodura Herringbone 2.0 features large panels, which deliver three times the strength of traditional wood options. That’s because, like the whole of Bjelin’s hardened wood flooring range, it features Woodura technology for improved impact resistance. It also benefits from the superior 5G®
floor
locking solution with click technology, which provides easy installation. The range has performed strongly in testing in Scandinavian and the company is confident that it will now appeal strongly to UK buyers as well. “With Woodura Herringbone 2.0 we are bringing our commitment to innovation and creativity to the popular herringbone design aesthetic,” says Simon Darbyshire. “So this new range offers all the practical benefits of Woodura, including durability and impact resistance,
combined with
the traditional elegance and contemporary appeal of herringbone.” At 91 mm x 546 mm, these panels surpass traditional parquet herringbone sizes, offering a modern feel. Woodura technology not only enables larger panel production, but also optimises the use of the raw materials. Versatile and creative, this flooring can be installed in multiple patterns, from traditional

A.Proctor Group collaborates with park home manufacturer to deliver fire safety

or Lissett Homes, a manufacturer of premium park homes and lodges, one customer’s request to use a different style of cladding had ramifications beyond the aesthetic appearance of the building. Minimum heights and distances are a key feature of fire safety regulations, and it is no different for park homes and lodges. “The Caravan Act requires a six-metre gap between buildings,” said Chris Close, Design Director at Lissett Homes. “It can be possible to build closer than that, but it depends on the fire classification of the products used in the build-up.” For the new ‘Bainland’ homes, the customer requested a type of vertical cladding, treated with linseed oil, which only achieves Class 4 when tested to the same standard. That meant looking at incorporating a fire- rated vapour permeable membrane behind the cladding. “I’ve worked with A. Proctor Group for seven or eight years,” said Chris, “so they were our first port of call and

together we found the right solution.” In wanting peace of mind that the new specification could offer the right level of fire safety performance, Lissett Homes benefitted from
A. Proctor Group’s high level of technical support.
That support started with a recommendation to use Fireshield®
, a vapour permeable membrane offering Class B-s1,d0
reaction to fire when classified in accordance with BS EN 13501-1:2002 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using test data from reaction to fire tests.
