DC Tromb 400
The trio of new additions to the Tromb family include the DC Tromb 400 dust extractor, DCF Tromb pre-separator and the combined DC Tromb Twin dust extractor and pre-separator. The remodelled versions are said to meet modern safety requirements while offering ergonomic and modular functions.
One of the major updates is that the new DC Tromb Twin model is separable, meaning the dust extractor and pre-seperator are easily detached and re-assembled from each other to make transport simple. Other updates include a simpler filter change system and a motor package that is easier to remove.

Roman showers
Black Grid Hinged Door
With 10mm glass thickness, Roman has introduced the Black Grid Hinged Door as the newest addition to the Liberty Black Grid collection. The design replicates the on-trend black grid latticed style which “encapsulates industrial chic with an elegant twist”.
It features a silicone free matt black wall profile, and the ceramic printed glass leads the current ‘industrial look’ trend in bathroom design. For more of a minimalist design, there is also the option of clear glass with matt black hardware which can be coordinated with brassware across the bathroom.
Sensio
Cube and Circa
With integrated colour changing technology, Sensio has launched two new ceiling downlights — Cube and Circa. Cube is a square geometric design whilst Circa is a circular option and they are designed with integral Triotone LED technology which enables each fitting to be set at a cool, natural or warm white colour temperature, and dimmed as required.
The fittings also offer low energy consumption at 240V and 8W power and yet at 100 lumens are brighter than a 50W GU10 halogen light. Both are fire and IP65 rated for use in zones 1 & 2 in the bathroom so can be safely installed above a shower cubicle or over a bath.

Marley
Eden pantile
Incorporating modern fixing methods with a traditional profile for quicker and easier installation, Marley has launched the Eden pantile. Offering a low pitch option when a traditional pantile is required for aesthetic or planning purposes, the product is backed up by technical support and a 15-year guarantee.
The tile has a low minimum pitch of just 22.5° and is available in a weathered colour, so it is suitable for use on heritage and conservation projects. Eden’s more uniform shape enables architects to achieve cleaner ‘waves’ up the rafter, without it being so uniform that it detracts from the character of the roof.

Blanco
Tampera hot tap
The Tampera hot tap claims to save time and energy in the home by allowing the user to only heat the exact amount of water that they need.
The titanium boiler, which fits neatly in a cupboard under the sink, takes far less time than a kettle to heat up the same amount of water so homeowners are able to save on their energy consumption.

Dunlop
Uncoupling Mat
Providing tradespeople the confidence to tile onto difficult floors at risk from stresses and movement, Dunlop’s ProCover Uncoupling Mat protects against the different rates of contraction and expansion experienced by the floor and tile layer depending on moisture and temperature.
The mat also works as an anti-crack membrane and provides a buffer layer between the tiled layer and the substrate.

Geocel
The Works XXX
TheWORKS XXX is described by its manufacturer as being a fast-acting product with 50% more grab than traditional grab adhesives on almost any substrate in any condition without shrinking or staining.
It performs even when applied to wood, brick, stone, tiles and most plastics. The solution is paintable, resists mould growth, will not crack or shrink and is said to be resistant to impact and vibration so the XXX bond will remain strong, no matter what the conditions.
