By using suspended Wallbarn Hardwood Timber Paving Slabs, installers combine the natural, attractive finish of timber decking with the speed and ease of laying paving slabs. The timber is made from ethically sourced Brazilian Walnut, from sustainable forests.

It has a very long life span as it is treated with natural oil lacquer before being dried very slowly,so will not absorb water or rot.

Laid in the same way as regular concrete paving slabs, they are suspended on Wallbarn's range of support pads.

The positioning lugs on the support pads allow rainwater to drain underneath and between the slabs into an appropriate outlet.

This avoids the risk of standing water creating a slippery surface or causing wood to rot.

Wallbarn has just launched a new range of hardwood timber slabs for roof decking. Made from South American hardwood supplied from ethical sources, these tiles are laid in the same way as concrete flags, by resting on support pads.

They are 500 x 500mm, either 30mm or 38mm thick. They are extremely hard wearing and very attractive, giving a more natural feel to roof terraces and balconies.

Following the successful launch of the polymeric protecto-board last year, Wallbarn is increasing it's range by offering a semi-rigid bituminous protection board.

It is manufactured from a bitumen core surrounded by wool, paper and glass fibre impregnated with bitumen. It has a bitumen content of at least 70% so is waterproof. It is extremely tough and can be heat bonded to surfaces where appropriate.

It can be used as an alternative to the more flexible polymeric protecto-board and is slightly cheaper.

We will be getting more information and updating the website shortly, so please visit the products page for regular updates. If you would like more information, please contact the sales office on sales@wallbarn.com or +44 1883 715983

We have recently entered a new territory, with our first sale to Iceland. We have achieved sales of both the rubber support pads and the 3mm protecto-board, and our products are exhibiting at a construction trade fair in Reykjavik in mid April.

We have recently completed a new line of 14mm plastic stackable support pads, to complement the 17mm plastic stackable support pads , 9mm rubber support pads and Adjustable Support Pads also offered.

They are manufactured in the same way as the polypropylene 17mm pads, they are the same dimensions and can tolerate the same 400kg weight. However, now, instead of having to shim areas between 9mm and 17mm, operatives now have the opportunity to use a pad if they need to install slabs in-between those two heights.

Full technical details later.

Wallbarn is about to launch a range of ethically sourced South American hardwood tiles for use with its range of support pads.

They measure 500 x 500 x 38mm with clean straight edges, and are laid in exactly the same way as roofing slabs. They are extremely tough and very attractive and are heavy enough to act as ballast on inverted roofing systems.

Wallbarn has completed a number of sales in Ireland, as it continues to focus on the export market. Protecto-board and Adjustable support pads have been sold to a number of different clients in recent months, with more sales coming soon.

We will be increasing our penetration into other territories throughout 2007.

Not only has Wallbarn developed a range of green roof drainage systems, but it is helping to build renewable energy sources. Protecto-drain is being used on the construction of Scout Moor Wind Farm in Lancashire, with contractor McNicholas Construction.

With alternative energy sources becoming increasingly important in the future, Wallbarn is developing materials for use in the construction of wind turbines and other such projects.

Wallbarn materials are being used extensively on the Liverpool 2008 European City of Culture regeneration project. We are supplying a number of contractors on regeneration works in many different city centres, including Leeds, Derby, Manchester and Liverpool. New build, redevelopment of Victorian buildings and canal side redevelopment have all been carried out using Wallbarn products.

Wallbarn has developed a new improved Protecto-board. Made from a heavy duty, flexible polymeric compound, it matches the strength of Wallbarn’s previous materials. It can be installed as a temporary or permanent protection layer on horizontal or vertical surfaces.

There is no risk of this material absorbing water or delaminating even when left exposed to the elements for long periods of time.
