ALL-IN-ONE HEAT PUMP
The new all-in-one Daikin Altherma 3 Monobloc air-to-water heat pump system is the manufacturer’s smallest yet. It fits to the outside of a wide range of properties, runs at a quiet 62dBA, requires no indoor unit, and offers significant savings over traditional heating systems. There’s four 4 different capacity ranges – 9, 11, 14 and 16 class – which are suitable for homes of various sizes.
COLOURED RADIATORS
Thanks to the success of the Stelrad coloured radiators offering new additions in the Vita and Softline Series, include Silhouette Concept, which will be available in Anthracite Grey. Over the past couple of years the demand for coloured radiators has been on the up and the manufacturer has responded to the new trend with multi-colour options available for a number of its products.
SEALANT & ADHESIVE
MACXSEAL from McAlpine Plumbing Products is a Hybrid Polymer, solvent-free sealant and adhesive based on the latest polymer technology. It contains a fungicide to combat mould and bacteria growth and, once applied, the cured product has good abrasion, oil, and solvent resistance. Used correctly, it will last over 20 years.
PLASTERING
The Mirka stainless steel Skimming Blades work especially well on spray plastered or rolled plastered surfaces, according to the manufacturer. Available in a wide range of sizes, from 15cm to 100cm, together with an extension pole to suit any application, the blade’s shape and light weight is designed to deliver control and reduce wrist strain.
MDF
When John Penny of JP Joinery was asked by a client to design, build and install a “wow” bespoke kitchen, the one product element he knew he would be utilising was West Fraser‘s CaberWood MDF. Easy to work, and a consistent quality, it doesn’t splinter or chip, meaning there’s very little waste.
MVHR
The Domus Ventilation HRXE MVHR systems combine supply and extract ventilation in one. They efficiently recover up to 90 per cent of the heat typically lost in waste, stale air and use it to temper the fresh air drawn via an advanced heat exchanger. The filtered, pre-warmed air is distributed to areas of the home such as living rooms and bedrooms, effectively meeting part of the heating load in energy efficient dwellings.

READY TO USE FILLER
A ready mixed, lightweight, and ready to use filler, Toupret’s Quick Fill for exterior surfaces can be applied to cement, concrete, and masonry, as well as plaster and old painted surfaces. It can be painted over in just one hour, with no shrinking or slumping. It’s rich in resin for extra strength and available as a 1L and 4L tub for applications both small and large.
SEALANT AND ADHESIVE
A powerful sealant and adhesive in one is how Sika Everbuild describes EB25 It will bond and seal almost any material to almost any surface, can be used indoors, outdoors – and even when submerged under water – and has the added benefit of being certified for use in sanitary and food preparation areas. It’s also resistant to mould, temperature extremes and chemicals, once fully cured.
