INDOOR AIR QUALITY
With a formulation that is 99.9% free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Dulux Trade’s Airsure range includes Airsure Diamond Matt and Airsure Vinyl Matt. VOCs are chemicals used in the production of a wide range of products that vaporise and are emitted into the air. Removing them helps to improve indoor air quality.

ADHESIVE
HB42 Ultimate Liquid Grab is a powerful trade-strength adhesive for use on a wide range of materials. Suitable for all vertical and full surface bonding applications, the material can be used when bonding shower wall panels, splash backs and cladding tiles. The product is also appropriate for bonding tile on tile and stainless steel.
BATHROOM PANELS
There’s antibacterial finishes, and glass designs available in the Mermaid shower panels portfolio. Easier to fit than tiles, with no grouting required, and less messy, they don’t need a specialist installer and can be cut to size on site, as well as fitted over virtually any existing surface. Moisture and humidity doesn’t affect acrylic, glass, laminate, or composite Mermaid bathroom panels and therefore the possibility of mildew or mould creeping in is eliminated.

HEAT PUMP

The compact one fan set-up means the outdoor unit can fit perfectly under a window.
