LOW CARBON PAVING
Improvements in the manufacturing and design of the new Bradstone ECO low carbon paving range have achieved carbon footprint reductions of more than 20 per cent compared to previous versions. ECO Evolve is more than 35 pert cent lower in carbon compared to the Old Town product. The paver is lighter and easier to handle and, with its specific laying pattern, is now faster to lay as well.
BLOCK PAVING
Suitable for applications in contemporary driveways, patios and pathway projects, Invicta from Brett Landscaping is the first block paving product to use the company’s newly developed AggTech surface technology. Available in four colours – Pearl, Moonstone, Onyx and Citrine – natural aggregates are used on the surface of each paving block to create a durable finish which shimmers in different lights.

The compact design is ideal for small and narrow spaces, a unique material composition delivers sound absorption, whilst a patented blue seal assists in leak and failure-proof installation.

WOODEN SASH WINDOWS
It doesn’t discolour over time like PVCu and can be over-painted – that’s just two of the reasons that Patchett Joinery is championing wooden sash windows. Not being a sealed unit, they can be replaced in part if they are damaged, which means the homeowner doesn’t need to go to the expense of buying an entire window unit. Moreover, the up and down opening mechanism eliminates the need to stretch over units or furniture to open the window.

ROOFING COMPONENTS
Safety and breathability are two priority design features for Klober’s product range. The Permo Air breathable membrane does not require additional ventilation, for example, reducing the risk of condensation in the roof space. Four-layer breathable membranes, such as Permo Forte, which include reinforced grids, offer increased strength and durability during installation, which is particularly advantageous in windy, icy or wet weather.
