Building Products Index Ltd July 23, 2019 Tiles Leave a Comment

Schlüter-Systems Ltd is pleased to announce the arrival of a brand-new RIBA Approved CPD, which offers an overview of the various factors to bear in mind when specifying tile and stone.

Developed following feedback from Schlüter’s specification experts as to the needs of their architects in the field, ‘Considerations for Tile and Stone Installations’ delivers key insight for those who are new to working with these popular materials, or who would like to update their knowledge base.

Topics covered include:

The differences involved in specifying for wet vs. dry areas and walls vs. floors
Classifications and ratings for tile and stone coverings, substrate preparation etc
Why and how to specify tile fixing in conformance with British Standards
How to prevent problems by specifying the correct support beneath the surface
What to consider in setting an appropriate cleaning and maintenance schedule

With tile and stone being used across many areas – from bathrooms and kitchens, to foyers, balconies and more – the information shared in the new CPD forms the foundation of a valuable bank of knowledge for architects and specifiers. In-line with RIBA requirements, running time for the CPD is just 45 – 60 minutes, and the seminar is delivered at architects’ and specifiers’ offices at their offices and convenience.

The new addition to Schlüter-Systems’ learning portfolio also offers a natural gateway to the company’s four application-specific CPDs:

Schlüter-Systems Ltd is pleased to announce the release of 12 new finishes for one of the manufacturer’s longest established profiles for tile and stone.

The new additions further increase the range of metallic finishes available for the 6, 8, 10 and 12.5mm versions of the company’s most popular wall profile, Schlüter®-JOLLY. The finishes have been released to the UK market in response to considerable demand from customers.

Versatile options to match trends and enhance aesthetics

The new finishing options provide options to contrast or blend with wall tiles and also include matches to the latest fixture and fitting trends in kitchen and bathroom design:

Schlüter’s existing range of chrome finishes sees the introduction of a brushed chrome option
Three nickel/titanium finishes offer a stylish muted match to grey tile and stone
The introduction of a selection of copper finishes (satin, polished and brushed) melds ideally with the ongoing popularity of rose gold and copper interior detailing
Brushed antique bronze provides a rich match to vintage and industrial themes
Satin and brushed brass are new companions to the existing polished brass finish available, with the three variants offering a warm toned, retro solution to tile and stone finishing
Bright black and brushed graphite finishes provide a sleek finishing option to match dark coloured tile and stone.

A wall profile of over 35 years’ service  JOLLY was first released in 1981 to solve the problem of exposed unglazed tile edges in wall coverings; since its debut, it has developed a reputation for smart, high quality finishing across all manner of installations.

The release of the new finishes provides architects, specifiers and tilers with new tools to support their creativity, and helps avoid the need to source profiles from various manufacturers.

Ultimately, an integrated CE Marked waterproofing system, with products that are designed to work together, should be the specifier’s first choice when selecting products to use in shower areas and wetrooms.

Schlüter-Systems offers a complete solution for a CE marked waterproof floor-level shower area. The tile or stone covering in the shower area must be sufficiently sloped to allow for proper drainage. This is easily achieved with the prefabricated levelling and shower tray components of Schlüter^®-KERDI-SHOWER. Schlüter^®-KERDI-SHOWER is available with the point drainage system, Schlüter^®-KERDI-DRAIN, and the linear drainage system, Schlüter^®-KERDI-LINE.

Schlüter^®-KERDI-LINE is a component linear drainage system for the construction of floor level showers with ceramic tiles or natural stone coverings. It consists of a formed stainless steel channel body with a grate and frame structure that can be seamlessly adjusted to the thickness of the covering from 3 to 25 mm.

This linear drainage system, has been updated to ensure that it meets BS EN 1253, providing a constant 50 mm water seal and to meet flow requirements which is in compliance with National House Building Council (NHBC) regulations to offer a complete system solution. The vertical drainage system is Schlüter^®-KERDI-LINE-V 50 G2 and the horizontal drainage system is Schlüter^®-KERDI-LINE-H 50 G2. Schlüter-Systems provides you with all the tools you need to create NHBC compliant, CE Marked solution, guaranteed by one manufacturer.

The Schlüter Approved Installer Network is new for 2016 and allows approved installers, who have completed full training with Schlüter, to install the Schlüter-WETROOM system including the new 50mm drain. The network not only gives accreditation to the individual as an expert but also to the company as a certified organisation. This provides reassurance to you as the specifier or architect that the system will be installed to the manufacturer’s standards and best practice and minimises installation risks, ensuring a quick and reliable installation.
