MERLYN will be exhibiting at the Offsite Construction Exhibition, showcasing its innovative new MERLYN IQ range. The unique patent pending easy fit mechanism on MERLYN IQ, makes fitting easy. Unlike standard shower doors, MERLYN IQ is a one person install, using no screws on the frame assembly and is built on the tray, perfect for fitting in smaller bathrooms and ensuites. The easy fit rollers and clever installation tools, all make MERLYN IQ the easiest door you will ever fit.

There are lots of benefits of partnering with MERLYN including:

• Quality products for customers – design-led, premium quality products that are tested to a standard far exceeding any European CE Standards;
• Installation Innovation – innovative installation systems, designed with the fitter in mind saving precious time on site;
• Market Leading Availability – huge investment in stockholding and an excellent logistics partnership drives an outstanding OTIF of 99 per cent. This reduces project lag, by not impacting on CMLs, while also avoiding escalating labour costs;
• Award-winning customer care – all the support customers need, with a dedicated account manager, product guarantees and comprehensive parts availability. Ninety-seven per cent of calls to the MERLYN customer services team are answered within 30 seconds.

Norcros Adhesives is a manufacturer of a wide range of preparation, fixing and finishing products for tiling and flooring installation. The company will be using the opportunity of the Show to demonstrate that it fully understands and is ready for modular and off-site construction.

Having built its reputation on product quality and innovation, the company will be showing that it meets the construction industry’s demand for high quality tiling and flooring adhesives. These products will need to be increasingly tolerant of vibration, deflection and movement. Modular constructors will be looking for flexurally forgiving products with good cohesive strength. They will also be looking for products which dry quickly, in order to keep production lines moving at an optimum rate. Norcros Adhesives is well-equipped to satisfy this demand and to develop innovative new products to meet the requirements of the future.

Norcros Adhesives works through RIBA’s NBS Plus programme to use industry standard specification that conforms to best practice. The company is also registered to BIM Level 2, enabling design to integrate fully with off-site construction methodology. Therefore, it is well-placed to pitch for Government contracts, where off-site construction is increasingly important, such as for student accommodation, schools, healthcare and social housing.

VADO is a leading British brassware manufacturer that provides premium taps, showers and accessories to customers across the globe. Channelling expertise and engineering know-how into innovative brassware technology, VADO has introduced three diverse collections to market throughout 2019; Individual by VADO, Booth & Co. and Axces by VADO.
