Additions to range
Briwax has added several new colours to the Original Wax Polish range: Teak, Antique Pine and Dark Oak. This means that consumers now have a choice of twelve different colours. What is more, the company has also introduced Briwax Floor Wax as a finish for natural hardwood floors. This product can be used on both old and new floors, is simple to apply and made according to a special formula that means it dries quickly. It produces a soft sheen on the surfaces treated.

Nailing and stapling tool
Rapesco has launched the Tacwise Master Nailer 191 El Pro Electric Nailer/Stapler, a tool that can offer nailing in seven different lengths (up to 35 mm) and boasts of four different lengths of stapling (up to 30 mm). The handle grip is made of rubber, and there is a special nose protector to prevent indents on soft wood. The tough tool can be used for all kinds of nailing and fixing jobs: on fencing, picture frames, insulation and plasterboard, to give just a few examples. It is available in a case complete with 2 000 staples and 2 000 nails.

For high specifications
Nico has added another hinge plus a new finish to its range of products. “Load Pro”, a heavy duty door hinge that is suitable for heavy doors and other high specification applications, provides an addition to the Nico CE-marked range of products. CE marking is compulsory for fire exit doors and similar ranges. The product is covered by a comprehensive ten year guarantee. “Supercoat 500” is also a new introduction: a coating that produces a silver finish.

Alternative to hardwood
Aikona has developed a vinyl composite floor covering that looks like real wood but will not deteriorate when exposed to sunlight or water. The hardwearing flooring is available in the form of planks to resemble wood. These are approx. 72 cm wide and 5 mm thick, and are available in one or three metre lengths. The flooring comes in a variety of different colours and also in a version that includes a caulking stripe, which is designed to create a nautical atmosphere. The slightly grained surface can be left rough or sanded to give a gloss finish.
