OLFA’s streak of innovation continues with its brand new SK-16, a cutting tool that’s safe and efficient. Materials pass through two cutting channels, each protected by a plastic blade guard. Blade exposure is wide enough to cut thick materials, such as heavy paperboard, carpet tiles or corrugated surface protection. Still, it’s not wide enough for even a finger, drastically reducing the risk of injury.Materials can also be trimmed in situ without damaging the floor or worktop underneath, thanks to the blade guard. The SK-16 can also be used to unpackage goods on-site without the risk of damaging the contents. The blade is made of high-quality Japanese tool steel, so it’s ultra- sharp and long-lasting. When it eventually dulls, it can be swapped it for a new one in under three seconds.. www.www.axusdecor.com

Sika Everbuild anticipates it will save around 400 tonnes of virgin plastic this year alone. Sika FastFix All Weather self-setting jointing compound comes ready to use with no mixing required.

Imperial Bricks’ Weathered Original Scotch Common and Original Giscol Common bricks are ideal, sustainable alternatives to reclaimed bricks for RMI and new build. The Original Giscol Common is a rough-cast, wirecut brick with a ‘burnt’ appearance that features coal spotting, natural banding and colour variation - characteristics of the traditional manufacturing methods. Imperial’s Weathered Original Scotch Common is slighter smoother and has less coal spotting. It features a unique ‘dual-faced’ design, where each brick has one tonally weathered face and header, and the reverse side is left plain. Both bricks are available in a solid 73mm imperial size, with the Original Giscol Common also available in metric.
