JARVIS SPECIFIES EARTHBORN PAINTS
Jarvis Homes , a family company for more than 250 years , set out to improve the sustainability of its building processes and specified Earthborn paints for its Chequers Green development near Ashford .
Russell Jarvis , company director , said “ We switched to Earthborn as part of a drive to make our houses healthier to live in and more environmentally friendly . Their paints do just that because they are made without oils or acrylics , which means they are virtually VOC free and do not give off any harmful emissions . It enables newly decorated rooms to be occupied quickly because there is no worry about emissions or odours .”
“ At Chequers Green we opted for Earthborn , applying it onto gypsum plaster , and we used Eggshell for the woodwork .”
Earthborn Lifestyle Emulsion has a hardwearing , classic low sheen finish . Earthborn Eggshell is water based and provides washability and scuff resistance .
Both products are available in Earthborn ’ s signature colour palette of 72 colours plus white and the 12 Modern Country Colours developed in partnership with Country Homes & Interiors .

NEW SANIFLUSH EXTENDS SANIFLO WC RANGE
The brand new Saniflush from Saniflo is a complete ceramic toilet that features an integrated macerator and provides a stylish solution for installing a WC into spaces where gravity drainage isn ’ t an option . Whether it is a bathroom in a basement or loft , or a cloakroom under the stairs , the installation of a Saniflush is possible with just a water supply and electrical connection . Thanks to its two outlets , a basin or a shower can also be connected .
The modern rimless design and traditional bowl base is as practical as it is attractive . And because the macerator is contained within the ceramic it ’ s a compact , space saving option that perfectly conceals the macerator unit from sight . Standard macerators are often visible behind the WC unit ; the Saniflush eliminates that issue for customers that prefer a neater solution . The design is also flange-free for easy cleaning and the classic white design will suit any style of bathroom ; it looks just like any contemporary WC . And it features all the benefits of a modern loo too . A water saving push button flush system , 3.6 litre tank and soft close seat with the added bonus of making a previously redundant space useful . The powerful 400-watt motor in the macerator enables waste to be pumped up to height of 5m and up to 100m horizontally . A non-return valve is supplied as standard . Access to the macerator is cleverly provided by a sliding ceramic that exposes the pump for maintenance and servicing .
