Householders Go Down Under To Get New Space A national trade body is reporting an upturn in the number of people looking to create basement conversions across the major UK cities. The Property Care Association (PCA) says there is an increasing desire among property owners to make use of previously uninhabitable basement space. storey property by up to 50 per cent, without increasing the footprint of the building. And according to the PCA householders, particularly those in cities with Victorian properties which often feature underground

Architecture Essentials was formed in 2000. We specialise in surface preparation and cleaning using a low pressure ‘damp’ abrasive system which is uses a completely wet blast pot that allows much greater control over abrasive flow and blast pressure than with traditional dry blast systems which are generally designed to provide a consistent aggressive flow.
Greenleaf Contractors Ltd
This control means that our machines can be used for delicacy and as a result are regularly used on listed buildings throughout the country. In addition to this blast system the company also offers traditional dry blasting and have recently modified a traditional dry blast system to significantly reduce abrasive consumption and lower blast pressures to make a second blast option suitable for internal wood cleaning. Again this system has been used successfully on listed buildings – mainly for cleaning wood. While we specialise in abrasive blasting there are times where other techniques might be more suitable, not only will we admit this! but where possible we will try to find you an alternative and solve your challenge. We can offer dry ice blasting (perfect for internal fire damage cleaning), pressure washing (including hot water / steam) and chemical stripping, often combining techniques to get the best of the various systems – for example using the chemical stripper to strip the bulk paint layers – and then the sand jet to ‘polish off’ the final layer. Although Greenleaf Contractors is based in Yorkshire we regularly work nationwide and we have a partner company in Dorset, and can call upon other contractors nationwide to offer similar services allowing us to scale up to take on any challenge.

LOFTZONE: INVENTION OF THE YEAR 2013 Loft insulation stops heat going out your loft, right? Wrong. Because recent research has shown that loft insulation isn’t working in 80% of homes. This is because householders use the loft for storage and access, and squash the insulation with boxes and boards. The research (by the National Physical Laboratory and Carbon Trust) showed that this halves the insulation’s thermal performance, and wastes a power station’s worth of energy across the UK. It’s also an eyesore, and the loft becomes a dusty, unpleasant, untidy, zone. But pioneering British company, LoftZone, is on a mission to change that. To protect insulation from compression, and to provide safe access, LoftZone has brought to market a raised deck, called StoreFloor. It is popular Best New Invention at the Ideal Home Show, but has also been designed for the trade, being fast to install and also very strong. Moreover, LoftZone is the only solution on the market that complies with Building Regulations Parts K, L and P,Working at Height and CDM Regulations, and so it is no surprise that it is

The LoftZone platforms provide that protection and they also provide safe access routes to components that need repairing, such as water tanks. We intend to continue using the systems when replacing roof coverings.�

Agglomerate For Coordinated Floor-To-Ceiling Look Matching floor-to-ceiling interior finishes are currently exciting designers, architects and developers, who specify an identical look for floor tiles, stairways, vanities, countertops, wall cladding, partitions, panels and waterproof liners. One hard surface material that is exceptional for this coordinated styling of decorative finishes is Trend agglomerate, a versatile composite that is uniquely produced only quarter of an inch thick (6.7mm) and is ideal for most vertical and horizontal surfaces. Despite its lightweight, slimline profile, this teak-hard agglomerate is as tough and hardwearing as granite slab, resistant to water, chemicals, impact, abrasion and thermal shock, and can be fitted to most substrates, from timber and tiling, to plaster and concrete. Made using natural granite and quartz chips or recycled glass granules, bonded together with super-tough polyester resin, Trend agglomerate can be easily water-jet cut and gently curved to allow the most creative decorative solutions. Available in a variety of square and rectangular slabs measuring up to 3m x 1.2m (120” x 51”), agglomerate can create seamless high-end wall panelling, slip-resistant flooring, sumptuous reception desks and vanity tops, and waterproof liners and washbasin surrounds. On newbuild projects, it’s a highly versatile and luxurious finishing material; on refits it can be installed over existing granite worktops, ceramic tiles, vinyl flooring, brickwork and other flat or curved surfaces. Nor is it limited to interior settings, the rugged, non-porous surface being suitable for exterior building facades, shop fascia, swimming pool surrounds, patio barbecues and outside living spaces, as showcased at Chelsea Flower Show.
t30t
For the fashionable coordinated floor-to-ceiling look, as well as contrasting or complementary colours in the same hardwearing material, there are more than 40 Trend agglomerate finishes, including a choice of four distinctive matt textures. These colours include
finely-grained neutral shades of quartz and granite, the granular nuances of recycled glass in tones of green, brown, white, black and grey, and a whole spectrum of blues. There are also vivid explosions of transparent glass granules, their bold colours enhanced with a pigmented polymer resin. To bring together the disparate surfaces of an upscale cloakroom or master bathroom, an interior designer might choose a symphony of matching blue surfaces to create a restful, harmonious décor. A reception area or hotel lobby could be decked out in black granite agglomerate across the floor, steps, walls, countertops and partitions, with bold splashes of orange for an eye-arresting contrast. While muted shades of quartz cream or beige agglomerate would project a laidback ‘boutique’ style in a showroom, apartment or hotel guestroom. The same decorative effect on different interior surfaces at different eye levels gives a homogenous character that is visually pleasing and speaks of quality, like wellcoordinated fashions and soft furnishings, and this can be readily achieved with Trend agglomerate. There is a satisfying green edge too, in that these agglomerates are made using up to 70% recycled material, typically post-consumer glass and recovered natural spoil from mineral quarrying sites. They are Greenguard Children & Schools certificated for the lowest levels of VOC emissions, ensuring a safe indoor environment, and their eco-friendly characteristics enable architects and developers to obtain LEED credits on sustainable building projects.

Latham’s Steel Security Doorsets Raise Awareness on Summer Home Security Security issues facing homeowners need to be addressed by confronting the problem head on... A number of alarming crime statistics have emerged recently that prove the necessity for home and business owners to focus increasingly on the security of their property, its contents, and their posessions. In 2012, there were reportedly 250,000 burglaries in England and Wales.
has extended to raising awareness about burglary and crime prevention. They recognise the role that they play in ensuring intruders cannot gain access, and are using their company blog as a medium to promote safety and extra vigilence when maintaining security in the home.
Latham's Steel Security Doorsets are a company based in Stourbridge, West Midlands. They provide high strength steel doors for homes and businesses across the UK. Their focus on providing the best security doorsets on the market
Studies have shown that 47% of adults claim to not lock their front doors, and that just 13% of homeowners lock their doors when they go to bed at night. These are staggering statistics, and one reason why security awareness needs to be
improved. Windows and doors need to be checked regularly for weaknesses, as many thieves are incredibly opportunistic.
