MAGPLY PUTS IN STRONG PERFORMANCE AT BAT AND BALL COMMUNITY CENTRE MAGPLY
A refurbishment at the Bat and Ball Community Centre in Sevenoaks features Magply boards as the substrate for a through-coloured render system. The work is being led by the BJF Group, with Theis + Khan Architects responsible for design work. Site Agent for the BJF Group, David Murray, said: “The refurbishment included a steel-framed structure around the low-pitched roof, in the form of a parapet. There is insulation over the old corrugated roof to improve energy performance and a new single-ply membrane running into internal gutters. A membrane was fitted across the outside of the steel framework, along with four by two (100 x 50mm) timbers, to which our dry liner fixed the Magply boards.”

MULTIBOARD FINDS ITS CALLING FOR KETTERING CONVENT CONVERSION MARMOX
The ease of installation and all-round performance characteristics offered by Marmox Multiboard have led to a leading dry-lining contractor recommending the versatile tile-backer boards to a client engaged in the redevelopment of a former convent near Kettering. Bedford-based Conroy Dry Lining originally learnt about Multiboard through the trade press, but the directors of the family-run business became converts after purchasing a pack for a trial installation. Now, the company is making rapid progress employing large quantities of the 12.5 x 1200 x 2400mm boards, plus metal washers, for the bathrooms within the 60, three-storey townhouses as well as the apartments being created in the old listed building.
Products from F. Ball and Co. have been used to install grey, pink and blue Paragon and Balsan carpet tiles in the sixth-form study room at The Charter School in North Dulwich, London. Forbo vinyl sheet was also installed in a number of classrooms, using Stopgap 700 Superflex levelling compound and Styccobond F46 pressuresensitive adhesive. In five of the school’s classrooms, Styccobond F46 pressuresensitive adhesive was also used to install grey vinyl sheet. The classrooms’ raised access panel subfloors were first primed using a general-purpose primer, before being smoothed using Stopgap 700 Superflex levelling compound.

HYGIENICALLY-CLEAN PAINT FROM CROWN PAINTS
SOUND ABSORPTION PARTITIONING FROM STYLE
CROWN TRADE
STYLE
Crown Trade’s Clean Extreme Anti-Bacterial paint range offers the best of both worlds – a paint with added anti-bacterial protection which will not diminish over time, no matter how many times it is scrubbed clean. Healthcare settings, workplaces, schools and hospitality venues all demand exceptional levels of cleanliness and need to be able to withstand more intensive cleaning regimes than ever. Crown Trade’s Clean Extreme Anti-Bacterial paint, which is formulated to help create hygienically-clean walls and ceilings, offers the solution. It is enhanced through the use of the independently-tested SteriTouch silver ion technology, which not only inhibits the growth of any bacteria that comes into contact with the surface but also prevents bacteria from multiplying. And, unlike other anti-bacterial paints available, its ‘built-in’ silver ion anti-bacterial protection can’t be washed off no matter how many times the surface is scrubbed clean. It also offers exceptional stain resistance for ease of maintenance.
The British Council has moved into a creative new office facility in S9, an ‘Outstanding’ BREEAM-rated building in the International Quarter London (IQL). Prioritising the adaptability of available space, partitioning expert Style was brought in early to work with 5plus Architects and main contractor, BW Interiors. As a result, the expansive ground floor concourse benefits from seven bespoke, 5m-high Dorma Hüppe movable wall elements. Operating on a complex tracking layout, they can be used to form an innovative display screen, to create individual exhibition boards, or to screen the cafe from the conference suites. One side of the panels is finished with magnetic, writable laminate, encouraging casual meetings where teams can collaborate and share ideas, whilst the other side includes an Autex board, providing essential acoustic sound absorption in this high-ceilinged space. Elsewhere, Style installed a further eight Dorma Hüppe 60 dB semi-automatic movable wall systems, creating various-sized meeting spaces.
