Grant
Virtual House
A new virtual house featuring a range of Grant renewable heating technologies has been added to the supplier’s online Knowledge Hub.

Simpson Strong-Tie
Redesigned packaging
The company has redesigned the packaging for its Premium Fasteners range to make it every bit as tough as the screws and nails it holds. The packaging is made of engineered cardboard to ensure it is durable enough to endure the rigours of daily life on site.
Resistant to rain, snow, moisture and heat, the cardboard material has water resistant web-corners so the boxes stay solid even after standing on a wet surface for days.
Simpson Strong-Tie has produced a video to demonstrate its new packaging (https://youtu.be/D25pzW_e2yk), whilst the firm has also expanded its collection of video ‘How to’ guides to showcase key product features and share top tips and installation advice.
