Builders top tipple is now wine

And the product can be applied to new build projects or used as part of a redecoration programme, he explained.
Mark said: "It is can be used on buildings, walls, fences, street furniture and utility boxes and, once applied, offers simple repeat cleaning".
""We feel this product has major potential across the UK and we've already received enquiries from a number of councils and other organisations about it." "It costs millions of pounds each year to eliminate the eyesore of graffiti, but this new technology demonstrates that graffiti and fly-posting can be controlled in a relatively simple and cost-effective manner.
We are delighted to be able to show its benefits at Interbuild." The company has also developed a similar coating to combat fly posting".
"Seddon Flyposter Block ensures that any flyposters can be easily removed from the treated surface - leaving neither residual marks nor damage".
"Paint and Coating has been given its own dedicated section for the first time at Interbuild 2006 and will offer the opportunity to showcase a selection of specialist materials".
"The constant issue of Fire Protection and reaction to fire within buildings will be heavily featured - and so will information about new regulations being introduced in 2007, which will impact on specifiers and contractors alike".
"According to zone organiser Gerry Costello, it will be essential for anyone involved in that section of the industry to be there and check out the latest developments".
"He said: "It will be a unique situation to have all the recent advancements in painting and decorating together at Interbuild at the same time.
It's sure to feature products that are new to the market and those that are not seen on a day-to-day basis". Request a free brochure from Interbuild - The Building Show ...
