It is ideal for use in woodworking, tiling, laminate flooring, plasterboard, sheet metalwork, window fitting and any other striking task where surfaces can be marked or damaged.

VACUUM LIFTER
The GRABO is a hand-held battery powered vacuum lifter, with a 170kg capacity, that enables the handling of multiple materials from stone and paving to composites and glass. Its twin seal design works on uneven surfaces, such as riven paving or tiles, textured façades and even on surfaces that are dusty or wet. Because its vacuum motor can run constantly to compensate for air loss, it even works on porous materials, such as plasterboard, plywood and many types of porous stone.
CUTTING-IN BRUSH
Boasting good paint pick up and spreading rate, the Hamilton Performance 2” Cutting-in brush, with its angled profile, is designed for precision cutting in, and with hard-to-reach architraving, where awkward angles are often found. Ideal for water-based paints, the brush is made using a high quality synthetic filament giving good paint application. With a short, quality wooden handle for comfortable use, it features a rust resistant stainless-steel ferrule, is easy clean and vapour box compatible.

ONE-HANDED CLAMPS
In addition to the EHZ, EZS and Duo range of one-handed clamps from Bessey, the new EZ series provides a further four sizes and a total of ten variants. With opening widths from 110mm to 900mm, spreading widths from 80mm to 1,090mm and clamping forces from 200 to 2,700N, the latest tools cover a wider range of applications. The twocomponent plastic handle with pump lever behind the rail allows safe access from both directions and, thanks to the release lever integrated in the handle, the sliding arm can be quickly adjusted and the clamp released.

roofing, flooring & insulation product round-up
ROOFING UNDERLAY
High-performance products from the A. Proctor Group have been selected for use in the construction of a British Antarctic Survey building. Taking into account the extreme conditions, the manufacturer recommended Roofshield for the roof and Procheck 500 as a VCL for the walls. Roofshield is an air and vapour permeable, highly waterresistant roofing underlay, which allows for even very complex pitched roofs to breathe, without the need for air gaps or secondary venting. GET MORE DETAILS AT: WWW.RDR.LINK/BS038
MEMBRANE
As regulations catch up post Grenfell, DuPont has developed an airtight vapour control layer in its high performance AirGuard range, offering advanced, non-toxic, fire-resistance. While Tyvek FireCurb Housewrap forms a weather-protective, vapouropen lining behind ventilated facades, new AirGuard A2 FR AVCL offers energy-saving, moisture management, improved interior air quality and climatic comfort, together with its added fire-retardant function. GET MORE DETAILS AT: WWW.RDR.LINK/BS040
GREEN ROOF
Green roofs are proven to provide practical benefits, including improving air quality, cooling urban environments, managing heavy rainfall, insulating buildings and even boosting the mental well-being of those looking out on to them. Thanks to the modular solutions available from Wallbarn, installation has been made easier and roof spaces both large and small can now benefit. GET MORE DETAILS AT: WWW.RDR.LINK/BS042
BITUMINOUS CORRUGATED ROOFING
A key selling point of the Onduline Building Products roofing system is that it is made from 50 – 60 per cent recycled materials, which gives it a carbon footprint advantage over many roofing products. This eco-friendly roofing solution can be used in timber frame buildings, the equestrian and agricultural sectors, log cabins, orangeries, sheds, summer houses and pergolas, with pitches as low as 12.5°.

PARTICLEBOARD
Particleboard products, such as the CaberFloor range of flooring systems from Norbord, combine structural strength, stability and reliability with low cost and ease of installation. The same company’s CaberDek is guaranteed to withstand full exposure to the weather for up to 42 days when laid in accordance with fitting instructions. GET MORE DETAILS AT: WWW.RDR.LINK/BS039
CONSERVATORY ROOF
The easy-to-fit Eurocell Equinox solid conservatory roof has enjoyed a series of updates. Individual full height glazing panels up to one metre wide and three metres high of clear glass allow lighter, sunlit conservatories and several panels can be accommodated that give an impression of even more space. In addition, aluminium rafters in the lightweight roof have been separated from the deck, enlarging the air gap, making it the only fully ventilated solid roof solution available in the UK GET MORE DETAILS AT: WWW.RDR.LINK/BS041
INSULATION
Super-slim insulation which maximises comfort and protection in a limited space is what Recticel claims for DeckVQ. Not only does the material achieve a thermal performance core of lambda 0.006, an encapsulated VIP within a high-density PIR shell eliminates the risk of puncturing – a potential hazard with non-encapsulated VIPs that could result in a significant loss of insulation value. GET MORE DETAILS AT: WWW.RDR.LINK/BS043
FLOORING
Rapid, durable products with added sustainability are what builders are demanding, and that’s what Sika is claiming for its ‘next generation’ range of primers and coatings. Sikafloor-150 and Sikafloor-151 are multi-purpose primers comprising two-part, epoxy resin. Suitable for use as levelling mortar and mortar screed, they are rapid curing, exhibit excellent penetration, and are ideal for low-to-medium absorbent substrates.

X CONDENSATE PRO KITS
CONDENSATE PRO Invented and launched by heating engineer David Smith, Condensate Pro prevents condensate pipes freezing in low temperatures – a common cause of gas boilers malfunctioning or breaking down when they are really needed the most. It comes in kit form and fits any condensate pipe installation, with specially designed UV/water resistant lagging and bond and seal adhesive. All products fit perfectly onto 32mm or 21.5mm overflow pipes and the connection and terminations are pre-insulated to make life easier when fitting. The products offer a complete solution for every external termination – gully waste, soakaways, rainwater and soil pipes – making it easy to price the cost of installation. Make the ‘Pro’ choice on site with a product developed by a professional. We have three to give away.

Most importantly, the solid metal locking case completely protects the integrated padlock. Lock and load!
