250 products to its over-the-
counter range bringing the total
number available to over 4,000.
From loft hatches to laminate
flooring, the aim of the additions
is to ensure that all day-to-day
items that a jobbing builder
might need are at hand.
The company opened over
20 new branches this year, and
with a total of over 150 covering
Penzance to Inverness.
The new products span a
dozen categories ranging from an
expanded timber selection and
access equipment, through to
PPE, tools, fixings and decorating
supplies.
Among the major new lines,
for example, is a collection of
insulated loft hatches with three
variations in either drop down
or push up configurations, plus a
one-hour fire option.
Looking floor-wards, there’s
now a range of laminate flooring
available from Eurocell branches.
With the look and feel of real
wood the click-together system
comes in a choice of Michigan Oak
or Ontario Oak with underlay,
profiles and beading included in
the range.
Last, but by no means least,
Eurocell has added significantly
to its PPE range. Now customers
can purchase hard hats, a choice
of several styles of safety eye wear,
ear defenders, masks and gloves.

NEW RESEARCH REVEALS THAT YOUNGER
HOMEOWNERS ARE MORE SECURITY CONSCIOUS
THAN THOSE OVER THE AGE OF 55
» » THE RESEARCH, CONDUCTED BY
HOPPE UK, has shown that three quarters
of homeowners aged 18-34 worry about their
home security more as the clocks go back.
Considerably less homeowners over the age
of 65 share these concerns, with 60% of
respondents saying they don’t worry more
during the winter months.
Just under two thirds of respondents aged
18-34 know the security standard of their
front and back door handles compared to only
half of homeowners over the age of 65, further
emphasising younger homeowners’ increased
awareness of security.
However, all respondents identified their
front door as their first priority if they were
looking to improve their home security.
The security of any entrance door can be
improved instantly using the HOPPE Atlanta
security handle set. It’s designed to protect the
locking cylinder against extraction and has

Suitable for use on composite and PVC
doors, the Atlanta security handle has been
tested Annex A of PAS24; the minimum
standard set by British Standards Institution

homeowners to resist the levels and methods
of attack that are usually associated with the
casual or opportunist burglar.
