WALL PANELLING
The latest designs in wall panelling from Showerwall include four new marble designs in the Laminate Collection.

GRAB ADHESIVE
Based on recycled raw materials – and packaged inside a cartridge made from post-consumer recycled plastic – Soudal’s T-Rex 80% Recycled Grab Adhesive is said to be the first of its kind on the market. The products initial grab properties will support loads of 250kg/m², making it well-suited for bonding heavy materials. Available in a 300ml packaging format, it can be applied using a standard cartridge gun.

CHEMICAL ANCHOR ADHESIVES
The styrene-free, low odour formulation of both Everbuild Anchorset Green and Sika AnchorFix-1 is said to make them more pleasant to work with without compromising on quality in terms of application or durability. The Sika Everbuild specialist adhesives offer a strong two-part process to anchor metal fixings.
WATERPROOF WALL PANELS
A practical alternative to bathroom and kitchen tiles, there’s a selection of new designs to the Fibo contemporary Urban, Signature and Scandinavian collections. A Straight Herringbone design is joining the Urban Collection; a Vertical Plank design has been added to the manufacturer’s Scandinavian Collection, and a new high gloss décor has been introduced to the Scandinavian and Signature ranges.
ALUMINIUM-BASED SPLASHBACKS
Eight additional colours and a marble finish have been added to the Häfele UK portfolio of AluSplash aluminium-based splashbacks. The Elements collection features a hand-picked selection of earth, air, fire and water inspired shades available in a premium matt design. AluSplash is described as a practical alternative to glass, acrylic and tiled splashbacks.
