The Histor Endura Select Metallic Wallpaint offers a total of 18 modern metallic shades for high-quality interior wall finishes. This innovative concept makes it possible to achieve a great variety of decorative effects and contrasts that are dependent upon the incidence of light. These changeable or shot effects are obtained through special aluminium pigments. The interior wall coating is available in 1 litre and 2.5 litre tins.

The TWW spirit level from Tox is made from anodised aluminium and can be used for plumbing as well as measuring and marking out. The lower scale begins at the outer edge of the 80 cm long device, which makes it possible to start measuring directly from the corner, from the floor or the ceiling. A second scale, which starts at the centre and extends 305 mm to both the right and the left, serves to determine the average. This also has two sliding gauges with marking holes in the centre of each half.

They can be quickly cut to the size required with the aid of a standard mitre box and a saw, without any danger of splintering. After that it is simply a matter of using a special adhesive to fix the profiles to the wall.

What is more, the Fit-fix locking element seals the longitudinal gap at the same time, consequently putting an end to any infiltration by steam and damp.
