Elegant fl oors from Bjelin grace a London home B
jelin has made possible a tasteful renovation of a 1920s London home, using 90 m2
of VEJBY 3.0 XL fl ooring. The
transformation of the house allowed the owners to realise their dream of bringing their love of Scandinavian design to the heart of England. Bjelin hardened wood fl oors are made with oak, ash or walnut from sustainable sources of timber with FSC® certifi cation. The unique Woodura® technology makes the manufacturing process much more effi cient and environmentally friendly in terms of timber usage than traditional processes. Indeed only a tenth of the material normally used in hardwood fl ooring is required in the manufacture of Bjelin products. From an aesthetic point of view, every
Woodura Plank 3.0 is diff erent, and the beauty of the natural woodgrain is maximised. It also creates a stronger and more durable surface with a hardness three times greater than a traditional solid wood fl oor. On this project the fl ooring was chosen late
in the process after the building plans had taken shape and the wall colours had been decided. “We knew we wanted wooden
fl oors,” explains Sandra, the owner. Following a visit to distributor V4’s showroom in Woking, she and her husband settled on Woodura Planks 3.0, because of their aesthetic and functional appeal, ease of installation and durability. “My husband laid the fl oor himself, with the help of a friend who’s a carpenter, and

they found it easy to install,” says Sandra. “Only the house’s age, with few straight lines, provided some challenges.” VEJBY 3.0 XL in the Misty White colour off ered
the perfect combination of light wood beauty and practical maintenance, complementing the owners’ desire for a bright and airy atmosphere. They fi nd that the light-coloured, brushed
surface is both attractive and also comfortable to walk on, creating a welcoming atmosphere in their home.
Bjelin Hardened Wood fl oors are customised
for both the residential and the commercial sectors. The products are available in a full range of sizes, including Small panels, measuring 1170 x 151 x 9.2 mm to fi t easily into cars and vans, along with Medium panels of 2000 x 151 x 9.2 mm, complementing the wide XL (2200 x 206 mm) and XXL (2378 x 271mm) fl oor planks.

HMG Paints deserves a lap of honour after a suite of its products were used to refurbish a rusting spectators stand at Plymouth athletic stadium. Rabart Decorators Centres worked with HMG Paints to provide the detailed specifi cation needed to tackle the corroded structural steel beams of the stand. Once the area was prepared with a thorough clean to remove all loose material Ferrozinc Rust Convertor was used to tackle any remaining rust. This was followed by a coat of HMG’s BDX Synthetic Primer, a high-build, anti- corrosive alkyd primer and then two coats of C71 Speedline, a high quality, single pack synthetic alkyd topcoat enamel. “We’ve worked with HMG Paints for about three years,” explained Peter Bird, Area Sales Manager for Rabart in Devon. “Everyone using it loves the products. It’s my go-to system for jobs involving metal and offers good protection against the local environment.” The products were brush and roller applied for this job although spray is also possible dependent on the situation.
