Suitable for dry and wet cutting, the Twin 18V DCE090 Brushless Disc Cutter is Makita’s latest addition to its world-renowned LXT range. Powerful, compact and packed with safety features, this new construction tool is ideal for heavy-duty applications.
The new cordless DCE090 Brushless Disc Cutter features a powerful 36V brushless motor with a no-load speed of 6,600rpm and maximum cutting capacity of 88mm, and is powered by two 18V LXT Lithium-ion batteries.
The tool has been designed with safety in mind and includes Makita’s Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) which shuts down the current to the motor if the rotation speed suddenly slows down, as well as an electric brake, a soft start feature that gradually increases speed to eliminate start-up shock, and a lock-off button to prevent accidental start-up.
In addition, the tool will alert the user to any risk of motor burnout caused by overloading, with its in-built overload indicator lamp. If the user continues, the electronic current limiter will cut off the power to protect both the batteries and the tool from damage.
With a fully-loaded weight of just 6.3kg, the disc cutter is easy to manoeuvre and includes a rubberised ergonomic, soft grip for further user comfort. For wet cutting applications, the tool can be connected to a water supply kit for effective dust suppression, whilst the plastic battery cover (included) protects the batteries from water contact.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK says, “The Twin 18V DCE090 joins the line-up of over 250 cordless products within our LXT range, offering users wider flexibility on site and the ability to switch between jobs easily. The tool has been engineered with user safety and productivity in mind as well as incorporating features that optimise battery and tool performance, so that users benefit from an extended life cycle.”

Global workwear brand Dickies has teamed up with Bolton Wanderers FC to test its new Advanced Waterproof Technology (AWT) range at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Dickies Workwear has outfitted stadium ground staff, security and maintenance staff with clothing and footwear from the range, which is designed to guard the wearer against the elements.
Featuring materials that repel rain, sleet and snow while remaining breathable, AWT products were considered especially useful for the ground staff who work outside every day caring for the pitch.
“With the weather in constant flux with rain, hail, wind, freezing temperatures and even snow, it can be quite challenging to work in and play at the home of Bolton Wanderers FC, so this was an ideal opportunity to put our new AWT range to the test,” said James Whitaker, Marketing Director at Dickies Workwear.
“Not every piece of workwear or outerwear is suited for that level of punishment, but what Dickies Workwear does well is craft tough, no-nonsense workwear at a price everyone can afford that can stand-up to the outdoors. We’ve had some great feedback from the staff at the club who enjoyed trialling our new range.”
Items worn by ground staff at Bolton Wanderers FC include the Dickies Winter Jacket, which features an exceptionally high level of waterproofing (10,000 mm) while also being breathable – making it an ideal option for working outdoors in bad weather conditions.
Chris Simm, Head Groundsman of Bolton Wanderers FC, said:
“The ground staff, security and match day staff have a lot riding on their shoulders given the level of work that goes into making sure our facilities perform. Our workers need to feel comfortable and protected and we know Dickies Workwear provides exactly what they need to make sure they’re able to stay focused on game day.”
The University of Bolton Stadium is a natural partnership for Dickies Workwear as its outdoor setting is well-known for having unique, weather-related challenges.
In addition to outfitting workers, the partnership includes Dickies Workwear being featured in-stadium throughout the season via digital signage and advertising.
As well as in the official game-day programme. Dickies will also have a presence within various digital platforms, including https://www.bwfc.co.uk/, the team’s Facebook page and more.

“Innovation”: no doubt an overused word but rest assured, the flooring industry is renowned for true innovation, whether it’s the first 18th Century wooden floorboards; the evolution of carpet; or today’s luxury vinyl tiles.
And in recent years, the flooring industry has arguably become more innovative than ever with advancement in styles, versatility, luxury and aesthetics; advancements that have allowed manufacturers and retailers to offer better services, easier processes and more durable products to both consumers and businesses alike.
Advancements aplenty there might be, but are they as widely known and available as they ought to be? We caught up with IOBAC’s CEO, Paul Woolvine and its founder and director, Ian Spreadborough to discuss how their new venture, FloorPlay, aims to unshackle the industry’s latest advancements.
Paul, Ian, tell us about what led you to launch FloorPlay.
“It was the same philosophy that led us to set up IOBAC in the first place really – as a company, we are always looking for a better way, solving problems and challenging ourselves to rethink traditional flooring and heating solutions.
EASYLOX Profiling
Our mission is to make the flooring process as simple, fast, cost-effective and hassle-free as possible for all involved, contractors and end-users alike.
To some, it’s just floors, but to us, it’s an opportunity for innovation; innovation at a level befitting an industry that’s integral to the revival of the residential and commercial sectors.
But the industry is still hamstrung by how difficult it can be to get hold of the right product at the right time – and at the right price. It was from this problem that FloorPlay was born.”
“This all sounds simple enough,” continues Paul, “but in practice, it can be more difficult. And more often than not, flooring installers are the last to hear about what products are up and coming in the flooring industry.
The advancements are there; they just need to be more easily available and known by all.
That’s what FloorPlay aims to do. People need to know that there are better alternatives to traditional solutions, especially in today’s environmentally-conscious world.”
Flooring Industry Experience
Ian and Paul, together boasting over 40 years’ experience in the flooring trade, launched FloorPlay earlier this year. It’s a site offering not only the “leading flooring products at great prices,” but “the very latest in new flooring and walling technologies.”
FloorPlay is described as a “one-stop shop for what’s new in flooring”; a site to help those in the industry “stay a step ahead of the rest with cool new flooring and heating products.”
Ian comments: “From revolutionary underfloor heating to the latest award-winning flooring solutions, there’s some seriously cool stuff out there that’s still unknown by many in the industry.
FloorPlay brings those new advancements – from IOBAC and others – to the masses at affordable prices.”
But you didn’t just stop at flooring, did you? There are walling technologies available as well.
“To us it was a natural step,” says Ian. “Simply put: floors and walls are both surfaces covering the largest square footage of any room, so why shouldn’t there be some commonality in how they’re covered? We’ve taken the fundamental technologies behind some of IOBAC’s innovative flooring solutions and applied them to walling.”
Where did this experimentation come from?
“This is where the ‘play’ element of FloorPlay comes in. The flooring industry is a truly innovative one and we’re always searching for the next innovation.
A famous Swiss psychiatrist described the creation of something new as ‘not accomplished by intellect, but by the play instinct arising from inner necessity’. It’s from this approach that we discovered that the same technologies behind our flooring solutions can be applied to walling.”
The result of this ‘play’ is a number of products. Notably, a heated walling solution that utilises the fundamental technology, including “wonder material” graphene, behind IOBAC’s underfloor heating solution. IOBAC’s magnetic flooring technology also lent itself to designer feature walls where magnetic luxury vinyl features can be affixed to a wall following two coats of magnetically-receptive paint.
And how about FloorPlay’s flooring solutions; what’s the thinking behind those?
“Again, there’s a real focus around what’s new and innovative, but it’s not innovation for innovation’s sake – these are products that we feel will genuinely improve the industry,” says Ian.
FloorPlay is home to IOBAC’s own Ezy-Install, a winner in this year’s Flooring Innovation awards, and last year’s winner, MagTabs.
Paul continues: “The beauty of these two products is that they can work in isolation or in combination.
They epitomise everything we’re trying to achieve with FloorPlay. Ezy-Install is what we call our dry-laid magnetically receptive underlay. It takes away the messy, time-consuming issues that come with traditional solutions.
There’s minimal sub-floor preparation needed – simply roll out the underlay and cut to size. It’s waterproof, naturally anti-microbial, easily cleanable, durable and manufactured using recycled rubber from old tyres.
Once it’s down, magnetic tiles, including timber, ceramic and LVT can be laid direct, or standard backed tiles, including carpet and +4mm LVT, can be fitted using MagTabs.”
To make it even easier for flooring contractors to trial Ezy-Install for themselves, a range of starter kits are available at FloorPlay containing everything needed to complete a 10m2 project.
MagTab Product
Ian, explain a little more about MagTabs.
“MagTabs affix to any magnetically-receptive floor, whether that’s a metal raised access floor or a metallic base from the IOBAC magnetic flooring system. Magnetic on one side and self-adhesive on the other, they work by locking tiles tightly together.
We truly believe that MagTabs, in combination with our magnetic flooring system, are the future of modular flooring.
And importantly, like Ezy-Install, they offer not only a better way to do things, but a more sustainable way, too. They remove cleanly with no residue or contamination.”
There’s also a handy alternative to traditional herringbone floor installation as well…
“That’s right,” says Paul. “We’ve recently become the first UK reseller of EASYLOX®, a patented system that makes herringbone so much easier.
It’s a universal connection without left or right parts, so every floorboard has the same profile without separate parts.
It means installers will no longer have to adjust floorboards when installing herringbone floor, which will save on costs. And because EASYLOX is produced by a CNC-controlled machine, it creates a 100% perfect fit – perfect squareness, perfect sizes.”
And how about maintenance of these floors? How can we keep them looking fresh?
“Keeping hard flooring such as wood and Luxury Vinyl tile clean and well looked after can be problematic. But we’ve discovered a range of eco-friendly floor cleaning materials – OceanSaver®.
These products are designed to tackle the toughest of stains without scratching or having to flood the floor – and they also result in zero waste. So it’s really goodbye to single-use plastic, and hello to clean floors.”
A celebration of innovation
FloorPlay certainly seems an admirable pursuit, a platform committed to making new and exciting innovations accessible to all in the flooring (and walling) industry.
And it’s this commitment to innovation that will continue to drive advancements in the industry. Ours is a truly innovative industry and we all have a part to play in celebrating its innovation, but this can only be achieved if those in it are aware of it – and have access to it – in the first place.

As the clocks go back, ushering in the winter months, thousands of homeowners in England are looking for Green Homes Grant installers to help them heat their home for less.
Tradespeople will be preparing for a busy time of year and with the government’s new Green Homes Grant scheme, there’s even more opportunity to grow your business by becoming a registered installer.
Vouchers are available for up to £5,000 for most homeowners, or £10,000 for low-income households under the scheme, which runs until 31 March next year.
How to Get Accredited:
More than 1,000 installers have already signed up to the scheme. If you want to become a registered Green Homes Grant installer, first check out what qualifications you must already have and then follow these six steps:
Register as a certified installer with TrustMark here
You will be added to a directory of certified installers, where homeowners can contact you to get a quote.
Register to be a Green Homes Grant Installer on UK
You will be asked to sign up to the Terms and Conditions of the scheme and provide your company’s details for payment.
You will need to register for each of the scheme’s measures you are planning to carry out. You must have received confirmation that your registration has been successful before you offer to carry out work under the scheme.
Once registered, you can give quotes to customers
The price quoted should reflect the total costs of the installation including materials, labour and VAT. It should be your usual price and not be higher than the price you would have quoted if the installation was not being carried out under the scheme.
Once you give your quote to the customer, they can apply for a voucher
If approved, the voucher will contain your name or your business’s name. Vouchers cannot be used to help pay for works that were carried out before the voucher was issued.
When your customer receives their voucher, you can start work
You should not start any work until the customer’s application has been approved, they have been issued with a voucher and have asked you to go ahead with the work.
When the work is complete, you’ll be paid in 5 working days
You will be paid for the costs covered by the voucher once the work has been completed and you have confirmed you have received any customer contribution.
The payment will come from the grant administrator. Most installers will get the grant payment within 5 working days.
Where a customer contribution is required, the customer contribution is a condition of voucher eligibility. Accepting non-payment to secure the work – or paying this yourself – will make the voucher invalid and constitute fraud.
Simon Ayers, CEO of TrustMark said: “TrustMark is proud to be a part of the Green Home Grant scheme and we are fully committed to helping ensure the tradespeople carrying out the works are supported, as they prepare to rise to the challenge and deliver energy-efficient, low carbon homes fit for the future.
“Never has the opportunity for businesses to develop and grow and support the delivery of a low carbon future been so great. We are seeing changing behaviours of consumers start to drive those all-important questions about protecting the future, the action needed to deliver quality products and services and for businesses to be at the forefront of this delivery and understanding, the time to act is now.”

Employee and visitor parking has always been a major issue for most companies: lack of parking spaces, lost badges, unauthorised parking, costly management, inadaptation to new forms of mobility, etc. Problems that have only been reinforced by the current health crisis which has made office access and its management a critical issue for the office real estate sector. Asked by its pro clients to provide an answer to these challenges through its tech expertise, ZENPARK, the Parking-as-a-Service market leader in France, developed a new solution to simplify and optimise office parking: Zenpark Pro Flex.
While the solution has just been officially launched in Europe, it has already convinced its first clients. Among them, the RATP GROUP (5th world biggest player in public transportation), which has partnered with ZENPARK to deploy Zenpark Pro Flex in one of its main bus terminal in Paris.
In just 6 months of operations, the solution has already been used more than 40,000 times and achieved a user satisfaction score of 91%.
WILLIAM ROSENFELD, CEO and Co-Founder of ZENPARK : “Today Zenpark Pro Flex joins our other B2B Parking-as-a-Service solutions to create a parking one-stop-shop that addresses all the needs of real estate professionals: shared parking for landlords, pooled parking for developers and city planners, and now collaborative parking for businesses. We have everything needed to facilitate the Parking-as-a-Service revolution for real estate professionals. And with the very positive feedback we have been getting from Zenpark Pro Flex customers, we are convinced that we have the perfect answer to the challenges of the office real estate market.”
3 CONCRETE BENEFITS OF ZENPARK PRO FLEX FOR COMPANIES
Offer more places for more employees
Zenpark Pro Flex allows companies to share all or part of their parking spaces for the benefit of all their employees. The solution makes it possible, for example, to respond effectively to the parking demands of 300 employees with a parking lot of only 100 spaces. Access to the car park is handled by a web and app-based booking system, with the guarantee of a free space, and physical access to the car park can be done through the dedicated app which acts as a parking badge.
Facilitate the daily commute of employees
With Zenpark Pro Flex, companies can strengthen their transportation policy by facilitating access to parking for employees who need it most. It becomes possible to prioritise access to parking spaces according to the needs and profile of employees: electric vehicles, vehicle fleets, carpooling, distance between home and work, disability, seniority, etc. An algorithm automatically allocates places based on these criteria and informs each employee when their reservation is confirmed.
Simplify parking management
With Zenpark Pro Flex, companies can easily optimise the use of their car park by managing access and parking privileges in an automated way and also by maximising occupancy. Parking managers have access to a comprehensive and easy-to-use dashboard which centralises all the necessary tools and data required for efficient management of spaces and users.
It even enables them to adjust to the KPIs defined in the company’s transportation policy. Finally, Zenpark Pro Flex customers have access to a dedicated professional support team which provides: consulting, deployment, training for managers and employees, support and maintenance.
HOW DOES ZENPARK PRO FLEX WORK?
Car park configuration at a glance
Zenpark Pro Flex offers a web management interface. It allows parking managers to quickly manage all the different types of parking spaces (including those reserved for people with a disability, EVs, bicycles, etc.) and employee access rights. In terms of deployment, Zenpark Pro Flex is compatible with all established access systems and does not require any modification to the equipment already in place.
Booking of parking spaces by employees
Each employee makes their request for access to the car park via the mobile app or web interface. A few days before their requested time slot, employees receive a notification informing them of the status of their reservation request.
If it is accepted, they are notified that they have been assigned a parking space in line with their transportation needs. They can even access the car park directly with the app acting as a parking badge. This provides an added benefit: security is enhanced and there are no more physical access badges to manage.
Automatic parking space allocation
Zenpark Pro Flex’s latest generation algorithm automatically allocates available spaces to employees who request them, according to the specifics of each space and each user’s transportation needs. The company can also establish allocation priority rules according to its own transportation policy.
Once the algorithm has been configured, these rules make it possible to promote lower-carbon transportation opportunities such as carpooling or EVs.
