EXPANSION INTO ADVANCED
COMPOSITES BRINGS THIRD
QUEEN’S AWARD FOR ANCON
Structural fixings manufacturer, Ancon, has won a
2018 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation
category, for the successful introduction and on-going
development of its advanced composite, low thermal
conductivity, Teplo wall tie range.
This is the third time that Ancon
has been honoured in this
prestigious award scheme that
rewards outstanding achievements
by UK businesses; it follows
Queen’s Awards for International
Trade in 2015 and Innovation in
2012.
Teplo wall ties are manufactured from continuous basalt
fibres set in a resin matrix; a fibre-reinforced polymer
that is 70 times more thermally efficient than steel.
When used to join the two leaves of a cavity wall, this
material virtually eliminates cold bridging across the
insulated cavity.

Internal refurb for listed cottage
Refurbishing a 16th Century listed cottage in
Hursley involved integrating original beams
into the interior design and renewing lime
plaster.
Earthborn paints and finishes were chosen
because their breathability suits lime plaster
and timber.
Claypaint was used on all walls and ceilings;
some being first treated with Earthborn
Isolating Primer. High performance
Claypaint gives a distinctive, ultra matt
finish.
Painted timberwork was given a silk sheen
with Earthborn’s flexible, hardwearing
Eggshell. The kitchen’s wooden furniture
features Eco Chic Claypaint with a clear
protective coating of breathable Earthborn
Furniture Wax.
Ecolabel approved, Earthborn Claypaint and
Eggshell contain no oils or acrylics, making
them virtually VOC free.
