Floors, Walls & Ceilings | Sika comes to rescue at Hemans Estate At the 1930s Hemans Estate in Lambeth, a concrete repair and protection package and anti-slip flooring system from Sika has helped to bring a series of housing blocks up to latest performance and aesthetic standards, Following the application of a repair system comprising a steel primer, bonding agent and repair mortar, two decorative and anticarbonation coatings were applied. Offering a proven track record and a simple installation process, these can be applied over existing coatings or directly onto the concrete to offer protection and aesthetic enhancement. With its ability to be laid and trafficked in the same day, sealer and base coat from Sika proved the ideal solution to refurbish the balconies and terraces. Installed directly over the existing asphalt for an ever faster application, the system also met the client’s demands for a 10 year life expectancy. www.sikaconstruction.co.uk 22 Armstrong introduces a Perla of an offer Armstrong Ceilings has relaunched its popular Perla portfolio to offer specifiers a simplified but improved contemporary laminated range which is also Cradle to Cradle certified. Its Perla OP 0.95 ceiling tile became the first mineral tile in the world to win Cradle to Cradle status two years ago and now the whole range joins Armstrong’s Ultima+ range in earning Bronze certification. The improved Perla range includes best-in-class fully-painted edges for additional aesthetics and durability, a new MicroLook 90 edge detail for an improved fit, and a consistent 8mm reveal throughout the range, for simplicity. But the popular plain, smooth, low-gloss monolithic visual of the former Perla remains, with high light reflectance (up to 86%) to reduce reliance on artificial light. The range also provides optimum indoor air quality (due to ultra-low A+ VOC emissions) and contributes to better indoor environments with ISO 5 classification suitable for clean rooms in healthcare environments. www.armstrong-ceilings.co.uk Get to grips with stair edgings Contract interiors specialist Gradus has launched Gradus Grip, a new ultra-strong stair edging adhesive.

The animation clearly demonstrates how these high performance micropiles can be used either to stabilise existing buildings that are suffering from subsidence or to help form secure and level foundations for new constructions. The well proven and technically advanced Dixie micro-pile is backed by International Code Council (ICC) certification and conforms to AC358, the International Standard for helical foundation underpinning systems. Dixie micro-piles combine with the Helibeam masonry stabilisation system to provide a complete structural repair solution which economically and sympathetically restores full structural integrity as all repairs, both above and below ground, are fully concealed. Helifix Dixie micro-piles provide a fully engineered and cost-effective solution to the problem of foundation settlement while avoiding the major disruption and costs of extensive excavations. www.helifix.co.uk Wood grill ceiling adds design detail to £6 million shared workspace development A £6 million business development in Northumberland has been enhanced with a high quality grill ceiling, thanks to the experts at global architectural products company Hunter Douglas. Hunter Douglas was commissioned to design and supply 223m2 of wood grill for demountable ceiling at Blyth Workspace, a modern serviced office space for businesses. Designed by Robin Parsons of Xsite Architecture, the ceiling is made from Magma fire-treated African Ayous and was supplied in module 4-70-15-45, reflecting the Scandinavian cues used in the internal shopfitting, as well as provide a finish that could continue seamlessly from the external soffit through to the internal ceiling. The high-specification building was commended by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and has a range of high-tech features that ensure occupants can work in a comfortable environment. www.hunterdouglas.co.uk
