JB KIND’S NEW SPECIFICATION THAMES DOOR


The new, improved specification Thames doors, launched at the New Product Showcase, feature 18mm edge lippings that are a single piece of solid oak. The doors have a real oak inlay and a solid core construction, with a full thickness centre panel. The grooves are 8mm x 4mm with matching white oak veneer and the door has a solid core construction with a centre panel that’s a full door. The cottage style oak Thames door is one of the most popular door styles in the market and very price competitive. A key staple product for all door suppliers, specification has been forfeited over the years to retain a competitive edge. So, for JB Kind to introduce a higher specification version at a lower price point, is definitely a win win for all. www.jbkind.com


QUINN’S CEMENT APP AND DEAL IMPERIAL BRICKS APP


Imperial’s free interactive mobile App offers a handy pocket-sized guide to the complete range of brick products. The Brick Matcher App is a fully interactive tool to help architects, specifiers, merchants, housebuilders, developers and self-builders identify the right brick for their projects, with many convenient features such as searching for a brick by name, colour, texture or size and even geographical location. Users can upload a picture of existing brickwork and Imperial’s expert team will send the best brick match from the range. By entering the dimensions of a wall, the built-in brick calculator will determine how many bricks are required in either imperial or metric sizes, in a number of brickwork bonds. Users can easily source and compare bricks side by side (including brick slips, ‘specials’ and pavers), request samples, brochures or even a site visit to determine the most suitable brick. www.imperialhandmadebricks.co.uk
