Russell Roof Tiles
Bute
Part of the Natural range, the Bute tile from Russell Roof Tiles is a thinner leading-edge concrete roof tile with a small format look that is said to replicate the natural materials and indigenous look of the most widely used roof tiles across the UK. The range is available in seven colours and has also been created with two options, either a 145mm or 165mm headlap. Like the entire Natural range, Bute is manufactured using 15% less raw materials than a standard flat interlocking tile, meaning that an environmentally greener choice is delivered to site on fewer pallets and, therefore, less packaging.
BMI UK & Ireland
Redland Hollander Clay Pantile
Aiming to set new standards in interlocking profiled clay tiles, BMI UK & Ireland has introduced the BMI Redland Hollander Clay Pantile. Replacing the company’s Cathedral Clay Pantile, it is said to offer several design and manufacturing enhancements over its predecessor. The increased headlap variation, now up to 30mm, provides more laying flexibility, while a second nib gives improved tile stability and a second nail hole means more roofs can be nailed rather than clipped. If clipping is needed, a completely new interlock enables the use of BMI’s tool-free Innofix Clip. Overall dimensions of the pantile are 420 by 265mm, with a cover width of 225mm.
Dickies
Hard Working since 1922
Aimed at younger tradespeople, Dickies has unveiled a new product range which has been inspired by its 96-year history. Launched under the banner ‘Hard Working Since 1922’ — the year in which Dickies was first established — the collection includes t-shirts and beanies, plus a puffa jacket, fleece and sweatshirt. Design details used in the range include the classic Dickies horseshoe logo and colours influenced by the company’s branding from previous decades. Available in a number of colour-ways, items from the collection are said to work well with options such as the Dickies Eisenhower Extreme trousers and the Phoenix style shoe or boot.
Blanco
Luper
Designed to bring a modern design to all kitchens, Blanco has introduced the Luper tap. The cross-shaped mixer tap has ceramic disc control and provides a high pressure water flow with a minimum of 0.5 bar pressure. With a high spout, offering plenty of room for filling pots and pans or washing dishes, the model can also be swivelled by 360° and features a twin lever. Designed for all requirements, the chrome tap is also said to be easy to install.
Freefoam Building Products
KlicKer Flooring
Launching its latest Luxury Vinyl Composite Flooring system, Freefoam Building Products has introduced KlicKer Flooring. It is manufactured with three layers to create a solid long lasting 5.85mm board resistant to abrasion and impact. It also features a base layer of 1.5mm pre-attached IXPE underlay, a middle layer of rigid 3.8mm Bamboo PVC Composite and top layer of protected vinyl KlicKer flooring. Engineered with a Valinge style fitting system to click and lock both the short and long sides of boards or tiles, no glue is required and it can be fitted over existing concrete, ceramic or wood flooring.
Sensio
Halo Triotone
Expanding its line of plinth lights, Sensio has integrated its Triotone LED technology into the Halo. Sensio launched Triotone in 2017, enabling the choice of three LED colours — warm white 3000K, natural white 4000K and cool white 5000k — from one light fitting. It reduces the required stock holding as there is no longer a need to stock the same light fitting in different LED colours. Similarly, the product is suitable for use in both the kitchen and, due to its IP67 water ingress rating, for use in the bathroom too. Each fitting, measuring 30mm in diameter, offers a diffused LED light at 28 lumens and is framed with a stainless steel trim that has been designed to create a halo effect.
