Coolag
Alfie
Coolag has launched Alfie, a wall mount developed to simplify the installation of wall mounted taps, bar shower valves and many other brassware fittings, offering both accuracy and protection for the connections during the period they are vulnerable to other trades prior to final fix.
The mount is designed to overcome such problems as alignment, depth planning, rigidity, hot works, drilling tiles and the risk of concealed water leaks occurring within the wall. It is manufactured from corrosion resistant materials and can be rapidly configured for either solid wall or hollow wall applications.

The panel has three flushing options, allowing the user to have control over water usage. An auto-flush mode is also available, supplying the optimum volume of water according to each flush. For families, the smart flush plate can be locked as a safety precaution for children.

According to the company, the Eco-Foils produce 95% less waste than the single use tubes and users get 38% more sealant than in the 290ml plastic tube. The product itself seals, sticks and fills, is flexible up to 230%, can be over-painted and also works in the wet. It is low in VOCs and the company says it will bond to almost anything. It is also food safe, and fully cures in 24 hours.
