ILLUMINATING
INNOVATION
Set to illuminate the industry, Carl Kammerling International has further enhanced its
already popular C.K tools dextro screwdriver range, with the introduction of the C.K
dextro VDE GLO Insulated Screwdrivers - the
UK’s first glow in the dark, professional
screwdriver set.
Following last year’s extensive design optimisation
programme, which reinforced the durability of the
dextro range, making it an impressive 30 per cent
tougher, Carl Kammerling has advanced the range
further, adding a unique phosphorescent handle that
gives off a strong, highly visible glow when working
in dark or low light conditions.
Exclusively designed for electricians and the work
that they do in low light conditions when isolating
electrical supplies, the C.K dextro VDE GLO range is
available in a six piece set of slotted and pozidrive
screwdrivers.
By exposing the screwdriver to natural light, the
phosphorescent material handle will charge enough
to provide 20 minutes glow. Exposure to stronger,
artificial lights, such as a site lamp or head torch, will
provide up to 30 minutes glow, making it easier than
ever to find tools in the dark.
The dextro VDE GLO screwdrivers have been
crafted purposely for the dexterity required in the
nature of the work undertaken by electricians with
a long, fine neck for precise fingertip control. It has
an ergonomically shaped dual component handle,
injection moulded directly to the blade giving the
ultimate bond for increased reliability and durability,
and ridges along the head to give extra power in the
last quarter turn.
For easy identification the entire dextro range has
the tip type marked on the end of each handle, and
anti-roll flats, which come in very useful when the
screwdriver is put down on a sloped surface.
A premium quality, chrome vanadium steel blade
provides exceptional strength and durability, whilst a
precision machined tip ensures an exact screw fit and
damage free screwdriving. And not forgetting that
improved tip, which is capable of withstanding over
20nm of torque, making it the toughest yet!
With voltages as low as fifty Volts potentially
proving extremely dangerous, if not lethal, the VDE
approval of the dextro VDE range offers electricians
maximum safety. VDE-approved tools are designed
to reduce the risk of injury and damage to electrical
circuitry. For many years tools have been labelled
‘insulated’, meaning only that they are coated with a
material that is not a conductor of electricity. There
are even tools on the market that claim they are
tested to 1,000V. However, only tools marked ‘VDE’
have passed the rigorous tests set by the VDE Testing
and Certification Institute, including being specifically
tested to 10,000V of electricity and only these tools
offer the peace of mind an electrician needs.
As with all Carl Kammerling’s extensive tool innovation, new products are not thrown together but are
created as a direct result of the company’s long-standing collaboration with end users - before, during
and after tool development. Working in partnership
in this way ensures that Carl Kammerling is able to
deliver tool solutions that are best suited to the actual
work undertaken by professional tradesmen and are
matched to each sector’s specific and unique requirements.

New Extra Wide Capping Board
Trade roofline specialist
Summit has introduced four
more colours into its range
of 405mm wide, double ended capping boards.
The 405mm wide board, known
as a “double ended cover board”,
is 9mm thick. With the introduction of the new colours, Cream,
White, Anthracite Grey and Irish
Oak, it is now available in the full
range of eight Summit colour-
ways, all in a range of widths from
150mm to 405mm.
The 405mm board is specifically
designed for deeper roofline applications, typically for the gable side
of the box end, where a smooth,
one-piece unit can be formed
without the unsightly joints usually required when two boards are
fitted together.
Because of its superior durability
and maintenance-free characteris-
tics, Cellular PVC is widely used as
a capping board for timber fascia
boards that are still sound.
Summit cellular PVC is a highly cost effective material for use
at the roofline because it costs
roughly the same as timber to install, requires no maintenance and
so suits the exposed and inaccessible location at the eaves.

Go Super-Size In
Stylish Tiles
With a rise in demand for
contemporary, seamless
spaces in the home, tile
specialist Topps Tiles has introduced the new XL collection, meaning homeowners
can now achieve dramatic,
high-impact looks in kitchens, bathrooms and beyond.
Allowing customers to elevate
a flawless finish, the collection
includes a range of three porcelain
tiles, each with a unique quality
that can effortlessly inject some
character and depth into a room,
and help to embrace and enhance
the ever growing trend for openplan living.
Each tile in the XL boasts a
large surface area of just under
1m2 which, when laid seamlessly
across walls and floors, will maximise space and create a sense of
harmony in the home.
By using large format tiles,
homeowners can mimic an almost
‘architectural’ look within their living spaces, creating contemporary,
sleek and unfussy interiors which
can easily be imagined in line with
the latest trends - the ideal backdrop for a accessories, colours and
soft furnishings.
Blending classic design with
contemporary ideas, the collection
uses the latest superior porcelain
tiles and inkjet technology to
create an exclusive range which
can raise the style of any room to
stunning proportions.
Due to its size, large format tiles
naturally create far fewer grout
lines than standard tiles, allowing
a clean and uninterrupted finish
in a room. It is this quality that
means the XL collection can both
enhance large expanses of floor
space to impressive levels, and
also maximise the surface area
in more compact homes, cleverly
creating a sense of space, making
it perfect for every homeowner’s
needs.
STADIA™
Part of the XL collection, Stadia
Cliff is an extremely high gloss
white porcelain tile which features
soft grey veining, reminiscent of
classic natural marble with its rich
opulence and style. Replicating
this grand natural stone on a dramatic scale, Stadia allows homeowners to create high-impact,
gleaming marble-effect surfaces
for a fraction of the cost of natural
stone.
PENTHOUSE™
The Penthouse range has deep
hues and an authentic finish
which creates a dramatic look.
This porcelain tile mirrors the look
of natural stone, with its variations
in grey and charcoal hues replicating the pits and voids characteristic to the natural material, adding
warmth to any room.
The XL collection is now available from Topps Tiles online and
in store.
