Natural wood products – both for the external envelope and interior shell of buildings – will feature more strongly at The Surface Design Show 2005.
Events director Geoff Soppett said that the show, now in its second year, has grown by 50% on the 2004 event and that there has been an increase in the number of timber and wood products companies wanting to exhibit.
He said: “It is interesting to see how wood is being used as a material by architects.”
The March 2-3 event at London’s Business Design Centre will showcase the latest innovations in flooring, cladding, ceiling andd wall systems, coatings, tiles, glass stone, laminate and worktops.
Among exhibitors will be Egger (UK) Ltd which will reveal its latest range of interior panel solutions and decors including new colour themes in matching laminates, melamine-faced chipboard, and decorative MDF and PVC and melamine/laminate edging.
Panel distributor James Latham will unveil its new sample case showing the updated range of LG HI-MACS Natural Acrylic Stone colours now available through its UK distribution network.
Tembec of Canada will launch its new Muskoka solid exotic species in Brazilian mahogany, cherry, walnut and paraju. Muskoka exotic engineered species are available in merbau, doussier and Brazilian cherry. Tembec has just signed a regional partnership agreement with Campbell Marsons Ltd for the Greater London area.
