31 PRO INSTALLER APRIL 2015 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 Range to be unveiled at UK Construction Week UK Construction Week is pleased to announce that power tool manufacturer Festool will be showcasing its brand new range of cordless products at the Build Show, one of nine shows taking place at the event this October. Manufacturing power tools since 1925, Festool plans to showcase its latest ‘Unplugged’ range of precision-engineered products, which work for 25% longer between charges thanks to their new 5.2Ah batteries. Incorporating Festool’s tried and tested brushless ECTEC motor technology, the new range offers tradesmen a reliable and flexible investment, as its universal battery compatibility means that older NiCd and NiMH battery packs can be used with the new machines. Jonathan Burcham, Mar- keting Manager at Festool, commented: “Our new cordless range focuses on increased efficiency, intelligence and longer tool life, offering the best value to tradesmen. We can’t wait to show the tools off at UK Construction Week later this year and look forward to hearing the feedback from the visitors.” The Build Show is one of nine events brought together under the umbrella of UK Construction Week, taking place at the Birmingham NEC from 6 – 11 October (with the trade days from 6 – 8 October). With over 1,000 exhibitors and 55,000 visitors, UK Construction Week is set to be an event not to be missed and is completely free to attend. UK Construction Week will also host the hugely successful Grand Designs Live and the newly acquired Timber Expo, along with the Surface and Materials Show, Kitchens & Bathroom Live, Plant & Machinery Live, Energy 2015, HVAC 2015 and Smart Buildings 2015.

Attendees then enjoyed refreshments as they browsed the ten full, walk-through composite door units on display, showcasing a diverse range that includes specialist Fire Doors and DUO Guard Flood Defence Doors. Alan added: “Being able to display our doors realistically and demonstrate how they might look in a home installation really allows the products to speak for themselves. We had a small, ‘feature’ showroom before this, but by expanding into areas of previously redundant office space, we can now tell the complete Bowater Doors story.” To arrange a visit or for further information e-mail [email protected] or visit www.vekauk.com Alan Hague and Emma McDonald.
