5 6 7 8 5 6 7 THE LATEST TERRAZZO TILE COLLECTION FROM CTD ARCHITECTURAL CABUCHON LAUNCHES THE SPACE-SAVING STUDIO COMPACT BUILT-IN BATH ENVIROVENT MHVR UNITS CHOSEN FOR HISTORIC LIVERPOOL BUILDING New for 2019, CTD Architectural Tiles introduces Venice Villa into its growing portfolio of terrazzo-effect tiles. Having made a major comeback into interiors last year, terrazzo is fast becoming one of the most popular choices for designers and specifiers in a wide variety of residential, commercial and hospitality projects. First made popular in Italy in the 1970s, the terrazzo look originates from using left over marble chippings into cement as a way to use excess product. A reinterpretation of this famous look, the Venice Villa collection is an exquisite contemporary twist on the traditional terrazzo trend, combining the appearance of crushed marble fragments with the excellent properties of fully body porcelain stoneware. British bath manufacturer Cabuchon Bathforms has launched its new Studio bath, the latest addition to its range of baths which can be built into the fabric of a bathroom. A space-saving tub, it is designed for modern en-suites and bathrooms where space is at a premium. Measuring 1522mm x 837mm (5ft x 33”), the Studio has a noticeably smaller footprint than conventionally designed baths. Despite its reduced length, the Studio is built for comfort. This is because it takes some of its design cues from Cabuchon’s deep soaking tub range. In particular, it substitutes depth for length. At 505mm (19¾”) deep, it enables bathers to adopt a more upright, semi-seated posture This alleviates strain on the shoulders and neck, while the extra depth of water helps to create a feeling of weightlessness. Residents living in the recently developed ‘Ogden’s Tobacco’ building in Everton, Merseyside are benefitting from MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) units from ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent that provide good indoor air quality and protect the fabric of the building by controlling condensation, The historic Grade II listed building has been converted into 19 apartments by social housing provider Liverpool Mutual Homes.  energiSava 250 units were installed to ensure there is a supply of fresh, clean air and eradicate issues with condensation and mould growth.
