PALACE INTRODUCES RIBA-APPROVED CPD PRESENTATION FOR THE SPECIFIER MARKET
Palace Chemicals has introduced a new CPD presentation entitled ‘ Successful Specification of Wall and Floor Tiling and how to avoid Common Failures ’. Developed for architects , specifiers and large contractors , the new presentation provides important information in these key sectors where there is often a lack of information readily available and answers questions frequently asked by architects when contacting Palace ’ s technical department . Its also a great way to keep CPD qualifications up to date .
The main topics covered are as follows :
• Considerations when specifying tiling for floors . o Tiling over timber-based substrates . o Tiling over different screed types . o Best practice floor tiling installation .
• Considerations when specifying tiling for walls . o Weight loading limits of substrates . o Correct preparation . o Best practice wall tiling installation .
• Environmentally friendly adhesives .
The contents are RIBA-approved , so anybody viewing the presentation can be confident that the information is accurate , up-to-date and not commercially biased . Anyone interested in booking a seminar should contact Nick Bratt , National Technical Sales Manager , at nick . bratt @ palacechemicals . co . uk .
NEW APPOINTMENT STRENGTHENS PALACE CHEMICALS ’ POSITION IN THE SPECIFICATION SECTOR
Palace Chemicals is delighted to announce that Nick Bratt has recently joined the company as National Technical Sales Manager . This is the latest in a number of initiatives designed to strengthen Palace ’ s position in the fast-growing commercial and specification sector . It is an area where the company already has a significant presence , but it believes that , due to the strength of the Palace product range and current market trends , there is a big opportunity to grow the business .
Nick joins Palace , following a career of 30 years in the tiling industry , 17 of which were at Norcros Adhesives in a technical sales role , working closely with specification customers . Prior to Norcros Adhesives , Nick was at BAL for ten years and Marlborough Tiles and Stone & Ceramic before that . This wealth of experience and the depth of his contacts within the tiling industry are second to none .
Nick says : “ It is great to be joining the Palace team at this stage of the company ’ s growth in this sector , and to have the chance to assist with the development of the specification department here at Palace Chemicals - I am very excited by the challenge .”
