PRESENTER: Belinda Worden, Specification Manager.

TOPIC: Two unique products, what you should know before you specify.

DESIGN INSPIRATIONS: Spacemaile by Kaynemaile may appear to be a decorative fabric at first sight but to the contrary, Spacemaile offers more than just good looks. Spacemaile's Structural performance is achieved by using engineering grade polycarbonates, making this mesh suitable for extremely high wear environments and could be just the product you are looking for in your next project. Acrylic Couture stands out in a crowd. With intoxicating effects through extravagant inlays, this luxurious product is perfect for projects demanding a touch of beauty.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The more you learn about Spacemaile and Acrylic Couture the more you see them in a new light. Belinda will showcase recent projects and discuss various applications, how and why they were used, and share trouble shooting tips to assist when specifying your project.

SPECIFICATION & DOCUMENTATION: We will break down documenting Spacemaile and Acrylic Couture as this varies across applications.

SHOWROOM VISIT: It is only when you see these products in our showroom that you'll truly understand their beauty and versatility.

PRESENTERS: Kate Deegan, Design Manager QLD and Eddie Briffa, Architectural Manager QLD.

TOPIC: Bricks and the exterior facade.

DESIGN INSPIRATIONS: The material that your house is built from also forms the foundation (literally) of its aesthetic appeal. The colour, shape, size and texture of the bricks you choose will influence the overall look and feel of the façade. We will look at the current façade trends within Queensland and how the addition of brick can add character, charm and individuality to a home and how new bricks will appear alongside existing materials.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Choosing the right size for your project may depend on different factors, from the proportions of the house to the purpose of the bricks. The information will cover topics such as what to consider when specifying brick, as well as the size, profiles, brick bonds and mortar joints & colours.

SPECIFICATION & DOCUMENTATION: This presentation will show you how to specify PGH products for both internal and external applications.

SHOWROOM VISIT: Kate & Eddie will introduce you to the new PGH Showroom at The Build and Design Centre. This visit will give you the opportunity to ask questions about the latest products on display and gain inspiration for your next projects.

PRESENTERS: Dan Spall, National Sales Manager and Alicia Sciasci, Specification Manager QLD

TOPIC: Textures and technologies in tapware specification.

DESIGN INSPIRATIONS: With the introduction of industrial-chic textures into the bathroom space, we look at how far alternate and three-dimensional finishes have come. This European trend has inspired patterned products to put the wow back in the powder room. We'll also cover new sensor technologies taking touchless tapware from the commercial into the domestic domain.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS: When specifying textured tapware, it's important to understand the benefits and pitfalls when choosing alternate finishes. This talk will provide the tips and tricks for getting your bathroom specification right. The presentation will also cover the benefits of choosing isolated sensor technologies and how they can lift your spec without blowing the budget.

SPECIFICATION & DOCUMENTATION: This presentation will show you how to specify Greens products for any application.

SHOWROOM VISIT: There is plenty of inspiration on offer as Dan and Alicia introduce you to the stunning new Greens Showroom at The Build and Design Centre. You will be given the opportunity to touch and feel the new textured finishes and ask questions about the latest products and technologies on display.
