Stanley Rotator Ratchet Socket Set

You have a nut or bolt to tighten/loosen and it is in the most awkward of places. You can barely get a ratchet and socket on to it but there is no room to swing the ratchet arm. The Stanley Rotator ratchet is the perfect tool for the job.

Instead of swinging the arm left and right to tighten or loosen the nut/bolt, with the Stanley Rotator, you simply twist the handle clockwise then anti-clockwise and this action translates to the socket on a 4-1 ratio (4 turns of the handle = 1 turn of the socket).

Not only is this easier to use in confined spaces, it also allows greater control of the tightness of the nut/bolt. The Stanley Rotator still works perfectly fine as a standard 1/4" ratchet and socket but the added twist makes it so much simpler to use.

The sockets snap on to the Rotator the same as usual but to remove them, there is a push button on the back of the head, press - pull - release.

Wallrock Thermal Lining Paper - It IS Rocket Science

Erfurt Mav Wallrock Thermal Liner has been designed using technology originally developed for aerospace and using this 'know how', have combined it with the established Wallrock Fibreliner to give one of the best thermal lining papers available.

Not only does the Wallrock Thermal Lining Paper give up to 36% energy savings, it can reduce room warm up times by as much as 65%. This means that your room will be warmer in far less time allowing you to reduce the heat and make savings on that all important energy bill.

So how does it all work? When a room has been lined with Wallrock Thermal Liner, it reflects warm air back in to the room from all the wall surfaces, therefore keeping the heat in and warming the room quicker. When used with a thermostatically controlled heating system, it reduces the energy required to heat the room. If a thermal liner is not used, a great majority of the energy is used to heat the walls before the room starts to heat up.

Along with the energy saving potential, the Wallrock Thermal Liner can also stop mould from forming by increasing the surface temperature of the wall therefore preventing condensation which is how mould can form.

The Wallrock Thermal Liner also has a high degree of noise and sound absorption and this corresponds to the acoustic performance of a 5mm thick velour carpet.

With all these properties, it is a very good liner but to top it all off, it also covers up cracked and damaged walls with ease. Due to the elasticity in the flexible fibres, the 3.5mm thickness of the liner itself and combines with the Wallrock adhesive, it is able to cover damaged walls very well.

Lining Paper with Warmth - Polystyrene Insulation

Mav Wallcoverings now have the ultimate in lining papers, the Polystyrene Insulated Lining Paper, a laminated polystyrene on one side and a 1200 grade lining paper on the other.

Now there is an all-in-one solution that is ready to hang in one go. As it is twice the thickness of most regular polystyrene rolls, it offers very good insulation and warmth.

It is suitable for covering damaged walls and surfaces without the need to fill or patch up first and is also resistant to damp and mould formation. It is CFC free and also fire retardant making it perfectly safe for use in the home. The rolls are 56cm wide and are 10 metres long giving a wall coverage of 5 square metres.
