Winter fuel experts Dizmezs Ltd are launching READYBLAZE, a new firewood brand for the UK Garden Centre market. The brand marries superior performance with environmentally friendly features. Every piece of timber in their firewood products is kiln dried to under 20 per cent moisture content level, leading to cleaner, hotter burning and less harmful emissions.
Backed by the Dizmezs family history of sawmilling, the READYBLAZE brand offers premium winter fuels for domestic home and outdoor use that are ready to burn. The brand aims to keep people warm via a consistent quality product, manufactured from sustainably managed raw materials and a process designed to reduce carbon emissions.
Leading brand Duck Tape has introduced a yellow and black stripe tape, ideal for marking sections on floors and providing hazard warnings.
A single side PVC adhesive tape measuring 60mm x 66m, it is already hugely successful in other parts of Europe, as Jason Burns, MD of Shurtape, comments: “The Duck Hazard Tape has been a consistently popular product in Germany, France and Holland for some time now and we’ve had rising interest here in the UK. “The tape is ideal for separating floor areas, and while we recognise that it will be useful as people return to work in different ways, it has a multitude of uses - being waterproof it can be used outdoors for other applications including traffic warning areas, building or DIY locations, or in TV production.” Duck Tape is already known for its packaging, DIY and craft tapes and this new product provides all the same market-leading benefits, making it a high tack adhesive, and cost-effective addition to the range.

Tradespeople and keen DIYers seeking a simple, stylish way to transform a room or stairway should look no further than the new MDF Wall Panelling Kit from
W.Howard Group. The kit comes complete with everything needed to create a high-quality period ‘tongue-and- groove’ style finish in any room, and needs no special equipment to install beyond the standard tools you’d find in any builders’ van. There are two packages in each kit – one containing a ready primed skirting and dado rail, and one including eight primed MDF beaded panels. Once fitted, each kit can cover up to 2.32m of wall space, with the skirting and dado rail creating a perfect finish that’s instantly ready to paint. The MDF Wall Panelling Kit has been made even easier to install thanks to the 10mm rebate lip designed into both the skirting and the dado rail. The lip provides space in which the beaded panels sit, so that each panel slots into place creating an instantly neat, straight edge. The rebate lip on the dado rail performs exactly the same function – hiding any edges and ensuring a clean, smart look. If the kit is being fitted on a stairwell, or where there are electrical sockets or other obstructions to navigate, the MDF can be easily cut to the desired size using a saw.
The kit is fixed into place using adhesive and mitre glue, though tradespeople who wish to use a hammer and pins can do so. Any filling can be done using standard filler or caulk before the primed MDF is ready to be painted whatever colour the homeowner desires. Simon Fleet, Group Commercial
Director at
W.Howard Group, says: “Our MDF Wall Panelling Kit is a fantastic new addition, and one that gives builders and tradespeople a simple way to transform a room. Period styling never goes out of fashion as people look to add character to their properties, and this Kit makes it easier than ever while enjoying all the benefits of the MDF material. We know tradespeople and homeowners alike will love the Kit’s ease of use.” The MDF Wall Panelling Kit is the latest product to join the
W.Howard Group portfolio, along with the manufacturer’s core range of MDF profiles.
