Contemporary aluminium room dividers from Draks
Saville Collaboration For Healthcare Leaders
Dixon Turner offers exquisite new products…
Creating a contemporary design-led look, the new UKmade stylish aluminium room dividers from Draks are manufactured in the purpose-built, Oxfordshire factory and can be tailored to suit individual schemes. They provide an ideal solution for all interior spaces, whether kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices or living areas. The durable aluminium room dividers run in a rebated track in the floor so the doors become an integral part of the room. Draks uses a spring-loaded, bottomweighted track system so even large doors have great stability. With the top track acting only as a guide, the dividers can be installed in places with problematic ceiling construction. As with all the wardrobe and room divider products offered by Draks, the aluminum room dividers can be supplied with short lead times.
GBUK Healthcare is one of the UK’s leading medical device manufacturers, providing innovative products for hospital, community, homecare and commercial customers. More than 70,000 GBUK products are used on a daily basis throughout every NHS Trust in the UK. To improve internal and customer facing communications and to reflect the quality of the organisation, the company looked for a specialist integrator to design and install a state-of-the-art audio visual facility. After consultation meetings and demonstrations, Saville Audio Visual was commissioned to deliver a tailor-made conferencing system. This represented a significant technological advance for GBUK, by enabling participants to display their own computer content on any one of the three large format HD screens at the touch of a virtual button on the iPad.
The latest addition to our extensive product range is Decostone, a flexible split stone that is waterproof, fire retardant and environmentally friendly. Produced by Swiss company Decolan, the veneers are split from large real stone slabs, capturing a natural array of patterns and colours. Each sheet is extremely lightweight, allowing for applications that would be nearly impossible with traditional stone. Decostone provides an aesthetically inspiring finish. Hardwearing and incredibly durable, the stone can be used outdoors for exterior wall cladding as well as indoor furnishing.

LATHAM’S LATEST SURFACE SOLUTIONS WIN FAVOUR WITH A&D SECTOR Two of James Latham’s latest additions to their surfaces solutions portfolio – Mirror Gloss and Natural Touch – both part of the innovative and ‘on-trend’ Kronodesign range - are already generating massive interest from within the A&D sector. Mirror Gloss
Natural Touch is pre-finished, extremely durable, easy to work with and offers consistency in both colour and grain. This means that architects, interior designers, contractors and furniture makers can now achieve an authentic rustic realism using melamine.
Mirror Gloss, which pushes the boundaries of depth and definition, colour and reflective gloss, is produced using first class particleboard and high quality melamine film, achieving a gloss level of 140 points for decorative use in the furniture industry and interior design.
With Natural Touch, the applications are almost limitless. It can be used for cladding walls, building furniture, creating fixtures as well as making striking punctuations to spaces and surfaces and the versatility of this product has made it particularly popular within the shop fitting and hospitality sectors.
The new range comprises 20 highly durable, scratch resistant, light and colorfast decors that include 14 sparkling gloss colours, four wood grains and two fantasy decors.
Chris Sutton, managing director of James Latham commented, “The Kronodesign range represents one of Kronospan’s biggest investments in product research and development and it shows. This range is fantastic and the market has certainly responded.
The perfect application for Mirror Gloss MFC is fine domestic spaces, home and office furnishings, kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms as well as luxury retailing and shop fitting.

Another product from the Kronodesign range, Natural Touch is the first ‘embossed-in-register’ melamine board where the grain texture precisely matches the surface finish. Now, the authentic look and feel of real timber - the graining, the subtle variations of shade and tone – is accessible on almost any project.
Mr Sutton added, “James Latham now offers one of the UK’s widest ranges of innovative surface solutions. We have a history and expertise in bringing new and innovative products to market and these latest additions fit perfectly within our portfolio.” For more information on Latham’s full range of surface materials: T: 0116 257 3415 E: marketing@lathams.co.uk or visit www.lathamtimber.co.uk
