Be the first to get your hands on Lafarge’s new tubs
Leading building materials manufacturer Lafarge (4A14) launch their latest packaging innovation at Glee tomorrow – cement in plastic tubs.
Lafarge is the first major cement manufacturer in the UK to produce some of its packed product range in resealable plastic tubs, which have been designed primarily with the DIY and landscaping market in mind. This latest innovation will be available at builders’ merchants from mid-September.
Experts from Lafarge Cement will be on hand in a specially designed garden at to give visitors a first-hand demonstration of the tubs, and the easy, cost-effective solution they provide for transport and mixing for typical jobs such as brick walls, path or quick concrete repairs.
Lafarge will also showcase its new specialist ready-to-use packed concretes, launched earlier this year. Requiring only the addition of water, the Quickset, Multi-Purpose and High Strength concretes are reliable and easy-to-use, making them an ideal choice for landscapers and DIYers.
The Aggregates team from Lafarge have also developed a new product, Capillia, which responds to the demands set by the Flood and Water Management Act and will be on display at Glee. Capillia is a new SUDS sub-base which can be placed under paving or concrete and allows local government authorities and land owners to meet the sustainability standards set out by the Act by ensuring any waste water collected on their site is drained effectively.
Landscapers, retailers and merchants will be shown a second new product from the Aggregates team at the event – a decorative stone for gardens, paths or driveways. The Spectrum range of stones was launched this year as an alternative to traditional gravel and will form part of the bespoke garden display created by Lafarge for this year’s exhibition.
As well as its popular YouTube Channel and iPhone app, Lafarge will show its new DIY website, featuring ‘how to’ videos as well as practical adviceaimed at customers using its packed product range.
