Chicago, February 9, 2010 (word count: 303)
PROCEDES CHENEL INTERNATIONAL, a French company, has just launched its two latest products made of Drop Paper (non-woven, M1 fire rated): Honeycomb, a honeycombed ceiling stretched on wire, and Pipe & Drop, a self-standing, foldable partition.

Graded as M1 non-flammable, both of these products can be safely integrated into public areas, such as stores, showrooms, offices, booths, museums, etc. Moreover, Drop Paper helps spread soft lighting thanks to the fiberglass it contains. Available in 15 standard colors, it gives the possibility of producing colored ceilings (a choice of three thicknesses) and paper walls up to 1 or 2 m (3.5 or 6.5 ft.) high.

When stretched across a ceiling, Honeycomb hides unsightly ceilings, while diffusing vertical lighting. In the event of a fire, it helps clear smoke from the premises and allows sprinklers to exstinguish the fire. This elegant, lightweight ceiling treatment comes in heights of 4, 8 and 16 cm (about 1.5, 3 and 6 in.) depending on the desired effect and is very easy to mount. Honeycomb can also be used vertically.

Also lightweight and elegant, Pipe & Drop vertical partitions are easy to install and can be deployed over 5 m (16 ft). When folded, their size is minimal, and when unfolded they are about 35 cm (13.5 in.) wide and perfectly stable. They can be backlit or adorned with fairy lights and can be placed on multiple ground shapes. Pipe & Drop comes in three fluorescent colors (yellow, pink and orange) in addition to the standard range.

Note: Both Honeycomb and Pipe & Drop are patented products.

Relax like John Major

Relax like John Major

FEELING tired and emotional? Stressed out and in need of a relaxing retreat?

Unwind like a politician in the quiet Spanish village of Candeleda where former PM John Major spent his summers while he held the top job.

Tony Blair favoured Umbria , Mrs Thatcher chose between Scotland and Switzerland and Gordon Brown tried to tighten his belt last summer by taking the home-grown option of Southwold in Suffolk . But for the Majors it was always Candeleda, the picturesque pueblo close to the Spanish capital.

Set among beautiful countryside, the small town has a rich history and boasts a well-preserved Roman bridge. The population is just over 5,000, making Candeleda large enough to have a buzz but small enough to be relaxing. Located 175km west of Madrid in the Tietar Valley , the geography is such that the town has its own microclimate giving rich vegetation and a pleasant temperature in summer.

Period Properties in Spain has a 37 hectare property for sale in Candeleda, which includes two new houses, its own heliport and vast grounds packed with holm oaks, olive trees and vines. The property enjoys spectacular views of snow-capped mountains and rolling hills. There are also large ponds, ornamental waterfalls and springs. The property is on the market for â‚€2,850,000.
