Words can paint a thousand pictures
Maud Milton and her talented team of artists, known as Artyface Community Art, work out of studios at Trinity Buoys Wharf in East London. They have become well known across the capital and beyond for helping community groups assemble totally unique mosaics. In particular, Artyface Community Art has been instrumental in fashioning striking interpretations of the ubiquitous London Underground roundel, using hundreds of handmade tiles which carry individual words relating to the locality. Maud and her colleagues have worked closely with school pupils and local residents to design tiles for mosaics for new buildings and walls in the public realm: all mounted on Marmox Multiboards in metal frames. Aside from railway and underground station signs, Maud utilizes Marmox Multiboards for any project which is going to be set in a metal frame, including house names or numbers. A spokesperson for Marmox, Grant Terry, Marketing Manager, added: “We have been delighted to provide Maud and her team with quantities of our Multiboard to help facilitate these very important local projects, involving many different members of the community.”

News_DPR.indd 1 Port Said Lighthouse dances with Slicedstone
Slicedstone, from bathroom specialist Marmox, has been used extensively to clad a new lighthouse in Port Said, replacing the deactivated original, which stood sentinel over the city at the northern end of the Suez Canal since its opening in 1869. The old lighthouse – now a historical monument – is unusual and considered architecturally important as it was the fi rst in the world to be constructed from reinforced concrete, which architect Karim Gabr took into consideration when designing the visually stunning replacement. Slicedstone was specifi ed by Karim Gabr’s practice to enhance the lighthouse and its environs, being that it is a natural material produced from large stone slabs, with each veneer being unique in appearance. The lightweight sheets are backed with a 100% waterproof decoupling membrane, allowing them to be secured using cement based tile adhesive. Incorporating the latest technology, the re-engineered veneers of Indian sandstone, along with their stabilised backing are treated with a clear polycarbonate solution to offer a fl exible surface that is both durable and waterproof, as well as stain resistant.

Raise the bar on worker safety
Despite the huge progress which has been made in health and safety standards and practice across the UK construction industry over recent decades, falls from height continue to pose the biggest risk in terms of injury or worse. The ongoing risk has
prompted SFS, one of the largest manufacturers of safety equipment, to launch a new initiative intended to maximise the protection of contractors. The SFS Fall Protection Installer Network has been created to provide a platform dedicated to advancing competency and awareness for companies and their individual operatives.

Haddonstone has undertaken many contracts where its workshops have been called upon to replicate architectural enrichments to many different ages of building. On one recent project, a client who Haddonstone helped to construct a Georgian style home 15 years ago required the company’s expertise when it came to extending the property. Sean Rafter, director of Longdendale Construction, said: “Haddonstone was very responsive to requests and all of the deliveries arrived
on time; right through to the end of the job when we found we needed two extra units which were produced in very quick order. This was a very intricate job, and the client was as pleased with the end result as we were.”
