5 6 7 8 5 STERLINGOSB ZERO STUNS VISITORS IN NEW OFFICE SPACE Axis Mason, an architecture and interior design firm, decided to renovate the interior of its new office, Somerville House, at Saint Helier in Jersey. The project was intended to become a statement for the firm’s design philosophy and act as a showcase for clients to explore the possibilities that Axis Mason is capable of. SterlingOSB Zero, from Norbord, the leading manufacturer of engineered wood panels, was chosen early on as an ideal material to complete the new project. The material is an oriented strand board with zero-added formaldehyde which makes it more sustainable than its plywood counterparts. The new office features a standalone pod; a server room; a disabled toilet; a full height living wall with integrated seating; and a reception desk. All of these features incorporate SterlingOSB Zero with the standalone pod being built entirely in Norbord’s fantastic product.

Designed with modern living in mind, premium solid surface brand, Staron has introduced seven new colours to its collection. Inspired by contemporary design and interiors, the new surfaces offer a refined finish that’s guaranteed to enhance any residential kitchen, bathroom or commercial space. Neutral, yet eye-catching, each new colour from Staron features intricate, considered detail. From the unfinished, industrial look of Supreme Ash Concrete, to the contrasting flecks of Terrazzo Venezia, each new shade combines a stunning appearance with outstanding practical qualities. The award-winning, revolutionary surfaces from Staron combine a sophisticated blend of natural minerals and thermosetting acrylic polymers for a structure that’s, durable, hygienic and offers total flexibility. Fraser Mitcalfe, Regional Surveyor at McCarthy & Stone, said: “We have used Neaco for numerous previous developments due the high standard of their product and their reliable service. As a company, they bring more than just product quality to the table – they also bring useful design input and experience from a supplier’s perspective. Their Neatdek decking is now specified group-wide due to its non-combustible quality which is now a legal requirement for balconies on residential developments.” neaco.co.uk www.staron.com
