be used with plywood from 9 - 16mm thick. Below: A cross section showing the LP-SM8H in use

Hidden panel mounting systems company, Fastmount, has launched a new male clip in its Low Profi le Range.

The LP-SM8H is designed for use with 9-16mm thick plywood and MDF panels, or aluminium honeycomb panels and has a pull-out load of 10kg.

The mounting has been designed with simple off site panel fabrication and ease of installation in mind. It has three holes in the base for a screw fi xing, and a short head to reduce the likelihood of clip damage in transit.

The clip is suitable for interior panel applications where there is a requirement for no visible fi xings, and minimal gap between panel and substrate.

The LP-SM8H is the fi rst product to be launched since Fastmount was acquired by Nautical Group Holdings.

“Fastmount has always kept its ear close to the ground when it comes for demand for new product, and we want to continue to do so. 2022 will be a big year for product development for the company and the LPSM8H is just the beginning,” explained Marc Michel, NGH CEO.

30% LIGHTER ROOF SYSTEM

Makefast has added three new products to its line-up for 2022.

Despite the uncertainty of the last two years, the company has continued to design and develop products to compliment its existing range of marine systems.

The new products are a Louvred Roof, a Privacy Blind and a Sliding Console Mechanism, each allowing a boat owner to set the mood on board and to create fl exible spaces which can be either cosy and intimate or fi lled with light and air.

All of the products can be tailored to suit diff erent applications and are manufactured using

Mechanism is based on Makefast’s sunroof technology

marine grade 316L stainless steel and self-lubricating composite components to ensure smooth operation in potentially harsh environments.

The Louvred Roof is around 30% lighter than previous systems. It features tilting louvres that retract along a stainless-steel track that can match the profi le of a boat and allows the user a choice of shade and ventilation styles.

The Blind creates instant privacy and shade as required. It has been developed to be simple to install and it can also be retrofi tted.

The Sliding Console Mechanism is a concealed system based on Makefast’s sunroof technology and allows previously fi xed seats, furniture and consoles to be moved at the touch of a button.

“We’ve seen excellent growth throughout 2021” said Makefast CEO Richard Jones. “This year – 2022 - we will develop at least two new products and similar for the following year alongside an expansion of our manufacturing and fabrication capacity.”

The company is in the process of constructing an

additional 1300sqm close to its existing facility. The new unit will house Makefast’s subsidiary CMD, allowing for all existing machining facilities to be located in one area which in turn will release 400sqm of space for the marine assembly processes.

“Makefast is continuously looking to improve our inhouse capabilities,” added Richard. “As we progress we see the need to pull in new skills and knowledge, currently we are recruiting for seven roles.”

He added: “2022 is shaping up to be another excellent year for the company.”

NEW ULTRA-MODERN MARINE HOB

The latest addition to the GN Espace range is the HE102 three-zone induction hob, an ultramodern marine hob with touch controls.

The HE102 is suitable for integrating into a streamlined galley, especially for river cruisers and barges where no searails are necessary to hold pots in place.

The HE102 is 50cm wide, compatible with the standard sized marine gas hobs already carried on many inland vessels, meaning it can be retrofi tted with almost no reworking of existing worktops.

The three induction zones can be adapted by bridging two into one ‘octa’ zone leaving a further 145mm diameter zone.

Safety features include residual heat warning, pot detection, and a child lock system.

The HE102’s integrated management system is designed for optimum performance while conserving consumption.

The hob is designed to be easy to clean and has a cooking timer for each zone.

It can be fi tted together with GN Espace’s compact built-in oven.

Both consume low power, making them suitable for vessels used in areas where shore power is limited.

The hob weighs 7kg.

New macerator toilet from LeeSan

The new SaniMarin SN43 Luxe Macerator Toilet is available from LeeSan.

The toilet is a straight back electric (12V or 24V) unit which discharges through a conventional 1.5in hose.

This model, which is designed to be quiet in operation, is easy to install, it has freshwater fl ushing supplied by connection into the boat’s water pressure system and will discharge to a higher head.

The dual fl ush function uses 1.2 litres per fl ush in economy mode and 2.2 litres in normal mode.

The toilet has a soft-close seat cover and features SFA macerator technology.

There is a choice of four control systems.

The toilet is also compatible with diff erent tank measuring systems including the Gobius Pro 12V / 24V which measures tanks of all kinds of materials and fl uids from the outside.

The system has Bluetooth communication and works by the externally mounted sensor exerting force onto the outside of a metal or plastic fl uid tank wall and causes it to vibrate when activated.

An internal accelerometer measures the vibrations and the processor’s algorithm calculates a vibration value each time the sensor performs a measurement.

The Bluetooth communication works with Android and iOS phones.

The Malvaux group, French manufacturer of interior decorative and technical wood panels for hotels and luxury yachts has acquired cabinetmaking and luxury fi ttings company James 1840.

James 1840 will continue its activity on its own production site while retaining its current management.

The company currently employs 48 staff comprising wood carvers, varnishers, installers, metal assemblers and glass specialists.

“French excellence characterises the DNA of James 1840 and Malvaux Interior. These two companies will retain their independence within the group with the ambition of preserving ancestral know-how in the fi eld of cabinetmaking,” explained Philippe Denavit who took over the company in 2006.

“By joining our skills to those of James 1840, we are accelerating the development of

JAMES 1840 ACQUIRED

our activities and are certainly becoming one of the French leaders in prestigious interior fi ttings.”

The acquisition follows a consolidation of brands for the Malvaux Group. The Group has incorporated Naviline, ST Bois and Barbeau into Malvaux Manufactures whilst rebranding the panel and plywood business into Malvaux Origine.

“Both companies are actively involved in producing interiors for all the main French boatbuilders as well as premium UK powerboat builders,” explained David Lewin, UK representative for the Malvaux Group.

The acquisition of James 1840 will increase much needed production of quality boat interiors and more recently La Panoterie to increase its potential to saw and CNC cut panels.

Malvaux group employs 400 staff across four production sites in the West of France and fi ve logistics sites and has a turnover of 100 million euros.

Spradling Europe’s latest coated fabric is Linetex, available in 16 shades.

The fabric was inspired by ‘the natural beauty of linen fi bres and its innate refreshing functionality’.

The new collection is treated with PermaCool technology and PermaBlock3 Plus that reduces the radiant energy or heat from being absorbed by an upholstered surface.

The treatment makes the new fabric suitable for interior and exterior seating, together with headboards and consoles.

The PermaCool technology is said to reduce the temperature of upholstery by up to 16°C which also makes the fabric more durable as there is less stress on the fabric.

The fabric is constructed from 100% polyester with a 100% vinyl backing. As well as being UV-resistant, it is also mildew protected.
