Versatile, neutral and bright, mid-toned floors will add personality to the room whilst not overpowering it. Mid-toned floors originate from a classic oak finish, but using advanced colouring and surface finishing techniques, wood floors now cover a wide spectrum of contemporary and classic oak finishes, with all options from a smooth to rustic wood look. Inspired by traditional flooring themes, deeper tones of mahogany, walnut and antique oak are effective in creating a look of heritage and elegance, ideal for styling both classic and contemporary looks. From the honey hues of VenturePlankís Barbosa, to the richer shades of Henleyís Antique, each board from the expansive Havwoods collection is beautifully crafted to offer an organic yet sophisticated scheme that will flow beautifully across every room in the home. www.havwoods.com | [email protected] +44(0)1524 737000 05.11.18 09:32 Designer Contracts enhances sustainable product offering with eco-engineered underlay Designer Contracts, the UK’s largest flooring contractor, has launched a brand new, sustainable underlay made from recycled plastic bottles. An eco-friendly alternative to PU foam, felt and rubber underlay, SpringBond is manufactured in the UK and is made from 85 percent recycled fibres. Designer Contracts worked closely with the manufacturers to develop the exclusive offer of the 7mm and 9mm underlay products for the new build market, which is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Said Designer Contracts md, Peter Kelsey: “We are excited by this brand-new product, which demonstrates our passion and commitment to the environment, and we feel that homeowners will be just as enthusiastic. Interestingly, if the average three-bedroom household used it throughout their property, they would divert the equivalent of 1000 500ml PET plastic bottles from landfill!” www.DesignerContracts.com 36 George Clarke visits new Woking design centre TV Presenter, architect and builder George Clarke visited the new V4 World design centre in Woking and praised the company’s commitment to sustainability.
