Welcome to the futureOF WATERPROOF WALLS

Reco is well established in the assisted bathing world withtheir insulated and cushioned ‘RECO PANEL’ but thecompany has decided to expand their range into themainstream domestic and commercial market. “The original Reco Panel was an excellent product, but wefelt the profiles were interfering with the overall look.

We sat down with our installers to re-design a profile freeversion and along the way ‘Reco Tile & Reco Space’ wereborn”(Robert Fleet MD Reco)Reco Tile & Space panels can be fitted over any reasonablylevel surface including existing tiles. They can be installedusing only three simple products, Reco Seal, Adhesive andSilicone. There are no profiles and the seamless finish can beachieved in a third of the time it would take to fit tiles. Asthere is no grout you can say goodbye to cracking and mouldand enjoy 10 years guaranteed maintenance-free. “The only difference between Reco’s panels and a tiled wallis performance; our products are quicker, cheaper, betterinsulators and now you can even have any design orphotograph on them too” Says Robert. Reco have pioneered the technology to print directly ontotheir panels opening up a world of design possibilities. Theyhave recruited a team of award winning designers andphotographers to create two ranges of designs that will suitevery taste and price range. For more information visit their website atwww.recosurfaces.com

Reco the waterproof walling specialists have designed two new panellingproducts they believe will change the way we install bathrooms. RECO TILEis a revolutionary 3mm cladding that looks and feels just like moulded tilesand RECO SPACE a 2mm plain cladding panel for those who like clean lines.

Getting it rightwith smoke alarms

All new homes, extensions, changes ofuse to dwellings and alterations such asloft conversions must comply with PartB of the Building Regulations. And PartB clearly demands mains,interconnected smoke and heat alarmswith back-up power. Battery-only alarmsare not permitted.For other existing homes, the currentCode of Practice for domestic fire alarmsystems, BS 5839-6: 2004, provides thebenchmark. This also recommendshard-wired smoke alarms (and heatalarms for situations where they can’t beused) in most cases. Battery-only unitscan be considered for rented bungalowsor owner-occupied houses up to 2storeys but only where ‘structural fireprecautions’ meet current BuildingRegulations. But it’s not an easy task toensure that all ceilings, partitions, doors,etc., really do comply.And battery alarms are certainly notsuitable for larger or more complexproperties that may well require a‘panel’ system according to the Code of

Practice. Therefore, specifiersconsidering using battery alarmsclaiming capability for interconnectingdozens of units should think again aboutwhether they are really appropriate fortheir project.Particularly for landlords, there is now acompelling case to fit interlinked mains-powered smoke alarms. In Scotland, thisis already a legal requirement in allrented housing, with at least one alarmon each floor, and the UK governmentis considering similar measures.Registered HMOs (Houses in MultipleOccupation) also need them to meetlocal authority rules which may wellextend with the growth of compulsorylicensing of private landlords. So,professionally installed, hard-wiredalarms are the safe answer. Here, wireless interlinking technology,using accessories such as Kidde’s Slick®Wireless Alarm Base, can eliminatedisruptive wiring between mains alarmspowered from an adjacent lightingcircuit. Find out more by downloading KiddeFyrnetics’ guide ‘Fire & CO Safety inHousing’ at:www.smoke-alarms.co.uk

With a growing choice of domestic

smoke alarms available, specifiers

and installers need to be careful

when selecting the right type to

use – particularly with the

appearance of confusing

information and irrelevant claims

about some products.

Professional tile adhesives: 50 years of BAL leadershipBuilding Adhesives Limitedcelebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013,marking an unbroken half-century ofleadership in professional tile adhesivesand grouts. Building Adhesives Limitedwas formed in 1963 when the tilemanufacturers within the BritishCeramic Tile Council – increasinglyconcerned over adhesive technologydevelopments – decided to form acompany to develop a range of high-quality ‘new technology’ adhesives,backed by comprehensive technicaladvice. Prior to this, four-fifths of fixerswere still using a sand-and-cement mixthat would have been familiar to theirVictorian predecessors. Someproprietary adhesives had been aroundsince the 1950s, but minimal technicalsupport had hindered fixer confidence ata time when a new tile body andmanufacturing methods were alsodeveloping. BAL’s innovation extended beyondintroducing a high-quality range ofadhesives and grouts.

Greater Manchester Police put Vista Panels’GRP composite doorset to the testMuch has been said and many claimsmade over the strength or otherwise ofcomposite doors. Indeed, there’s onecompany claiming that a GRPcomposite door collapses in a shower ofpolyurethane foam with a few goodknocks with a police issue ‘Enforcer’. Well, it’s certainly not the case withDistinction’s Nan Ya GRP compositedoor. Vista Panels’ Managing Director,Keith Sadler takes up the story: “Thereis an issue with the Distinction’s doorblank: but it’s about the difficulty thepolice have in gaining access to premisesusing the door. While the door blank isimportant, so is the quality of thecomponents used in manufacture as isthe skill in fabrication. Vista’s 17 yearsof experience in manufacturing qualitydoorsets is there for all to see when theGreater Manchester Police’s finest,attack the doorset with an Enforcer!”

Strength in numbersDespite the enduring popularity of steelwindows amongst large sections of thearchitectural community and theirunparalleled performance in terms ofstrength and security, these are stillchallenging times for manufacturers andinstallers. However, the Steel WindowAssociation (SWA) can assurearchitects and contractors that steelframes, with their slender sight-lines andextended life-cycle, remain as relevant asever to a wide range of constructionprojects. Its membership is reportingstrong activity across the sectors and newmembers continue to join the ranks,seeking strength in numbers as well asaccess to the association’s wealth oftechnical information. These includethe well established Specifier’s guide anda series of Fact Sheets explainingdifferent aspects to the performance ofsteel windows and related components,including the glazing systems andironmongery.

A new tailor made service hasbeen developed by the UK’sleading manufacturer of door andwindow control systems, provid-ing the most cost effective andefficient maintenance package todate. GEZE UK uses in-depth data analysisto identify the most appropriate servicelevel for each and every automatic dooracross an estate, ranging from one starto four stars. This detailed planning canhelp maximise the lifetime of each door

as well as reduce the costs associatedwith it. For FM companies with contracts forlarge estates, a system like this can bevery beneficial, ensuring that doors areprioritised according to their need forregular servicing, rather than adoptinga ‘one size fits all’ approach. Service Director Steve Marshallexplains: “A busy main entrance willneed four star attention, with regularvisits and the most reactive responsetimes, whereas a side entrance that isseldom used would typically beclassified as a one star, requiring onlylimited routine attention each year. Atwo star may be a delivery entrance,while a three star could be a fire door.It’s important though, that the servicepackage chosen is reviewed annually, aspart of an evaluation that examines thedata and re-classifies doors wherenecessary.”The tailor-made service can also utiliseother technologies including assetmanagement and GEZE UK’s remotemonitoring device iContact to gainmore specific and accurate data,providing individual cost analysis foreach door. www.geze.co.uk

The current trend to merge interior andexterior spaces by the means of bi-folding and sliding doors and windowsis gathering pace so the necessity forfabricators to source hardware they cansafely ‘fit and forget’ has never beenmore important. The use of sliding and bi-folding doorsolutions offers flexible options, addingpizzazz to both domestic and

commercial properties and everyfabricator knows that door hardwareneeds to be aesthetically pleasing,durable and reasonably priced. Theyalso know that architects and specifiersare always going to demand productsthat tick many boxes but in the main willbe looking for a product that looks goodwhile giving years of trouble free use.Therefore it is essential that these heavy

and expensive doors are fitted withhardware that is up to the job. Spendinga little more on a quality product with along guarantee and life expectancy is themost cost effective option in the longterm. Often substandard productcontains a lot of plastic components andthese can have an adverse effect on thelife expectancy of the product, whichcan lead to expensive remedial work inthe medium and long term.Brio, across its comprehensiveWeatherfold 4s and Timberoll ranges,can offer exterior folding and slidingdoor and window furniture thatguarantees fabricators the quality,reliability and built-in longevityfabricators are looking for. Brio's recently launched Weatherfold 4ssecure exterior folding door and windowfurniture has been warmly welcomed asa long looked for solution for compositeclad doors. Weatherfold 4s easily handlespanels up to 150kg, creating openings upto 4m high and 19.6m wide. Up to eightequal size panels can fold seamlessly ineach direction. Brio Weatherfold 4s alsohas inward or outward openingfunctionality and is suitable for timber,aluminium and Timber Clad

As the trend for bi-folding and sliding doors continues to grow, fabricators will needdurable, quality hardware that offers innovative solutions and in-built longevity,

writes David Newton of Brio UK, the leading door hardware manufacturer.

Dallmer Renova Roof

Drain IDEAL FOR RETROFIT

When re-roofing, a major problem isoften the removal of existing roof drainsbefore installing new ones andconnecting them inside the building toexisting drain-pipes. Dallmer’s Renova63T Roof Drain is a product thatcompletely overcomes this problem andtherefore reduces dramatically theoverall cost of roof renovation.RenovaDrain is specifically designed topush down through the existing drainand inside the existing drainpipe,creating a watertight seal via the lip-sealson the down pipe of the drain. This wellconceived design is made with theprecision for which the Dallmer name isrespected throughout world – thousandsare in use in Europe and the USA. RenovaDrain has recently beenupgraded with improved, dedicatedversions for use with bitumen felt –‘DallBit’ - and TPO membranes.

A version for welding to PVC remainsplus the ‘standard’ version for EPDM –or any other membrane. Improvementsinclude extended length (up to 460mmfrom roof level) to cater for ever thickerlayers of insulation and a dome gratingwith a greater free area to avoid theproblem of possible clogging by roof-blown rubbish. The Dallmer 84 versionis smaller but just as easy to fit and iswidely used where additional insulationis not being laid or remedial work witha flat grate on paved terraces. Bothmodels of Renova are made fromdurable, UV-stabilized polypropylenewith rubber co-moulding for the ribbedlip-seals ensures that they have ampledepth to make a secure seal with theinside of the old drain.www.dallmer.com

Homatherm InternalInsulation for Exterior Walls

Homatherm is arecycled insulationmade from naturalwoodfibre designedfor solid exteriorwalls, from TellingLime Products.

Homatherm from Telling is asuperior internal insulation

material made from wood fibrewhich has excellent vapourpermeability and provides

high levels of thermalinsulation, heat protection andsound insulation for optimumenergy saving. It is ideal for

the thermal upgrading ofexterior walls which are solid

with no cavities.


Homatherm is a superiorinsulation material made fromwood fibre which has excellentvapour permeability and provideshigh levels of thermal insulation,heat protection and soundinsulation for optimum energysaving. It is ideal for the thermalupgrading of exterior walls whichare solid with no cavities.Manufactured as slabs in three differentthicknesses of 40, 60 and 80mm,Homatherm is made in a singlethickness process, obviating thelamination layer glues that exist in someother systems, which can have adetrimental effect upon the true vapourpermeability. Application of Homatherm wood fibreinternal insulation is particularlyappropriate for pre 1900’s buildingswhere their solid walls usually ‘breathe’through the lime mortar. Indeed, thethermal insulation of solid walls ofheritage buildings creates an enormouschallenge as external overcladding isnot possible as it would affect theexisting architectural aesthetic. Here,Homatherm wood fibre insulation slabscan be applied internally, and are the

ideal solution ensuring natural‘breathability’ and through-wallperformance. The permeability of the Homathermwood fibre slabs minimises interstitialcondensation in the existingconstruction to a level that enables thelime mortar to hydroscopically extractthese as vapour, thereby preventingdamage to the structure. Telling Limesupply their UNILIT range of naturalhydraulic lime mortars for wallfinishing.With DIN approval, Homatherm is anecologically sound product using CO2neutral raw materials, free of chemicalsand with practically no emissions ofVOC and formaldehyde. It thuspromotes a healthy and comfortableliving environment particularly suitablefor allergy sufferers. Also wheninstalling the product, it is bothlightweight and hazard-free in handling.

SPSenvirowall contributes to awardssuccess for 400-home transformation

A housing overhaul supplied by external insulation expert SPSenvirowall has scooped an award for transforming a neighbourhood of

more than 400 homes in Aberdare, south Wales.

The accolade for Best RegenerationProject was announced in front of anaudience of 300 industry specialists anddelegates at the National InsulationAssociation’s annual conference whichtook place in Stratford upon Avon at theend of last year.Picking up the prize was contractorSERS Ltd, which chose SPSenvirowallto deliver their BISF external wallinsulation system that contributedtowards achieving such a successfulresult.

Insulation was added in phases to avariety of different homes owned bothprivately and by RCT Homes, acommunity mutual landlord. It startedin December 2010 and more residentssigned up after seeing the results of theirneighbours. It was completed in April2012.Some properties required structuralrepairs before the insulation could beadded, while others needed the externalfinish removed. The treatments werefinished off with fresh and modern

pebble dash and brick slip detailing,adding character to the homes.Delighted residents benefitted fromsmarter, warmer, cheaper-to-run homesand the tenant liaison officer VanessaAdams for RCT Homes remarked: “It’sextremely positive for tenants to havethis kind of work carried out on theirhomes. The area is in fuel deprivationand for many tenants it was a choice of‘eat or heat’ each week rather thanhaving the option to do both. “But nowthe external wall insulation has beenapplied, their fuel bills have beenreduced so much that they can haveboth, meaning they don’t need to worryabout choosing; especially now it’sgetting colder again. I have hadresidents telling me about a vastdifference in fuel bills and they alsocan’t get over how the temperature in

their house stays constant now withoutrequiring further heat.” Mitch Gee,managing director at SPSenvirowall,said: “We are delighted to have beeninvolved in such a successful schemewhich was not only recognised by fellowindustry experts but, more importantly,made such a huge difference to theresidents whose homes weretransformed. “The challenges faced bySERS on this scheme were unique toeach property and involved having towork round residents, delivering anattractive finish and ensuring standardswere kept high throughout. We’re veryproud to have helped played our part inthis inspiring result through the deliveryof our BISF system. Congratulations toSERS Ltd.”

SUDS LawNew regulations regarding Sewers forAdoption have now gone live. They havebrought significant changes to the waycontractors need to design and installunderground drainage schemes for singlehouses or small developments. New houses connecting to existing foul sewerswill have to terminate with an inspectionchamber, normally positioned in the frontgarden, close to the back of footpath. Thischamber - and the pipe downstream from itto the sewer connection in the road - will nowbe adopted by the water company and willneed to be constructed in accordance withSewers for Adoption 7 regulations. Thesechambers can be a standard 250 mm or 450mm inspection chamber (Hunter’s DS66 orDS71 for example) but may need to be fittedwith a heavier duty cover. Until theintroduction of the new Sewer BuildStandard next year (2013), when thisrequirement will be made mandatory), theexact details of this chamber may differ fromone water company to another. Hunter isrecommending that contractors check withthe water company before starting theinstallation.


Rainwater harvesting Rainwater harvesting is fast becoming astandard feature in new build designs.The design and construction industryunderstands the integral part rainwaterharvesting plays in creating sustainablebuildings. Polypipe’s Rainstreamsystems are predominantly targeted atdomestic installations but can be used inlight commercial applications too. Rainharvesting can replace up to 50% ofhousehold mains water consumption,and up to 85% on commercialinstallations. One third of all water usedin the home gets flushed down the toilet.The roof on an average 4-bed familyhome captures more than 100,000 litresof rainwater each year – most of whichcurrently goes down the drain.

Polypipe to Exhibit at MosBuild BuildingInteriors, April 2nd-5th 2013Following the company’s success atMosBuild in 2012, Polypipe - the UK’sleading plastic piping systemsmanufacturer - is to exhibit this yearwith an even wider range of its highquality plastic piping and underfloorheating systems. Visitors to Russia’slargest building and interiors tradeevent, which takes place at Moscow’sExpocentre, will have an opportunity tolearn more about Polypipe’s wide rangeof expertly engineered plastic pipingand under floor heating systems at StandR327 from Tuesday 2nd till Friday 5thApril 2013.

A decorating centre in Wigan has helpedrefurbish a historical building on its doorstep.The Crown Decorating Centre, located onCaroline Street, provided a range of highperformance paint, applied within the LongDrawing Room at Wrightington ConferenceCentre – part of Wrightington Hospital.Crown Trade’s Steracryl Mould Inhibiting Paintwas provided for used on the ceiling within theSalon Room, along with Crown Trade Eggshellon the ornate friese, and Crown Trade AcrylicEggshell on the coving.The paints were mixed at the Crown DecoratingCentre in a sensitive palette of shades usingshades in-keeping with the building’s 18thCentury heritage, based on gentle golds, bluesand creams. Gary Wilkes is the team manager for the estatesoffice at Wrightington Hospital, part of theWrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHSFoundation Trust. He said: “The three paintshave been exactly what we needed for the LongDrawing Room. “The room is used to hostconferences and there are coffee and tea makingfacilities inside. Over time, the steam from theurn has risen and damaged the ceiling, causingmould to appear. “The application of SteracrylMould Inhibiting Paint will prevent this fromhappening again in the future. “Working with theWigan Crown Decorating Centre made the jobrun really smoothly as they were only up the road,which meant we could rely on them to deliverproducts really quickly. “The store managerthere, Tania Power, was great and alwaysavailable to help, with either technical advice orproduct information.”

The work was carried out by Skelmersdalepainting and decorating specialists, Pye andCollier Decorators.Nigel Pye, co-owner of the business, said: “Weare thoroughly happy with the final outcome.“The delicate detail around the edge of theceiling meant certain parts had to be spraypainted, whilst the detailed decorationsurrounding the chandeliers had to be handbrushed. “The support provided by the CrownDecorating Centre was top notch and the paintwas of a great quality to apply.” Store manager atthe Wigan Crown Decorating Centre, TaniaPower, added: “The Salon Room looks beautifuland we are proud to have been able to providethe paint to decorate and restore such a historicalbuilding in our locality.”

Construction and house building sectors increasingly benefitting from a ‘repair over replace’ approach to damage on site

Construction and house building firmsacross the UK are increasingly reapingenvironmental, financial and laboursaving rewards running into millions ofpounds annually according to the UK’sleading surface repair specialist, PlasticSurgeon.The company – which specialises inworking with construction and housebuilding firms across the UK byundertaking on-site repairs to surfacesthat have been scratched, cracked,punctured, chipped and damagedincluding kitchen worktops, internaland external doors, baths, shower trays,cupboards, uPVC window and doorframes, fascias, glass and brickwork –says 2012 saw more firms than everbefore looking at adopting a Repair notReplace approach.As a result, Plastic Surgeon saw its teamundertake over 250,000 individual

repairs on over 500 sites across the UKfrom those operated by some of thebiggest names in UK construction,suchas BAM, Barratt Homes and Vinci –right through to small, single build sites.Over 77,000 items repaired in 2012were able to remain on site rather thanbe ripped out and replaced – which hastraditionally happened when surfacedamage occurs - not only helping saveseveral million pounds in replacementand labour costs but also preventingalmost 2000 tonnes of materials fromgoing to landfill.According to Plastic Surgeon MD RobMouser surface damage on site isabsolutely inevitable given the numberof trades working in and around themduring the lifecycle of a build.“There is no such thing as immaculateconstruction as we all know and inmany circumstances damage simply

cannot be avoided as accidents happen– but the approach to dealing with ithas for too long been one of rip out andreplace first.“If a surface such as a kitchen worktop,bath panel, cill, fascia, door or uPVCframe has been damaged, scratched,chipped, cracked or punctured - it canvery often be professionally repairedand remain in use – even when to theuntrained eye the damage may lookirreparable.“It remains a fact that every yearhundreds of thousands of items acrossUK sites that could be repaired areinstead ripped out and replacedunnecessarily – with the additionalreplacement, fitting and labour coststhat this approach brings running intomany millions of pounds that firmshave to find themselves – ultimatelyeating into their bottom lines,” said

Rob.“However, when we show senior sitemanagers and group environmentaland sustainability directors just whatcan be repaired and the level to whichthis can be achieved, along with thesavings that are possible – their wholemindset to Repair over Replacechanges - as they understand the costsassociated with the alternative, which isstraight replacement,” said Rob.According to Plastic Surgeon, for every£1 spent on surface repair it isestimated that there is a £3 saving onmaterial replacement – excludinglabour costs.

Basement TransformationBasements are often thought of as dark, dingy, damp areasused to store all those items that might be useful one day.The basement has, on too many occasions, become forgottenspace.However, solutions from DeltaMembrane Systems will transform theseneglected, redundant parts of the houseinto warm, welcoming living areas.It may be a surprise to many people thatwhen refurbishing a basement the aim isnot necessarily to prevent damp fromentering the structure, but managing itproperly when it does.Preventing water from entering thebuilding can be an involved, lengthy, andcostly affair – particularly when the wallsare below ground level. There is an easierand far more cost-effective alternative –the cavity drainage membrane method.With this solution water is allowed topenetrate the internal face of the wall,and there is no reliance on chemicals oradhesives bonding to the structure(potential weak points).The membrane is mechanically fixed,and any imperfections in the structure areeasily overcome.Once these membranes have been fixed,they can be worked on immediately.Water penetrating the wall or the floormeets a plastic sheet featuring dimplesthat create the necessary space to allow

water to run down to a drainage channelat floor level.From here, the water is collected in asump unit hidden below ground floorlevel, and pumped to a suitable drainageoutlet which might be a soil vent pipewith a non-return valve, boss or saddleclamp, or simply to an outside drain orsoakaway.

The investment made in refurbishing abasement will repay itself for many yearsto come, and Delta Membrane Systemshas everything needed to ensure this workis carried out effectively and efficiently.

Timoleon under-deck heatingThe Actief is a 98 foot, 78 ton DutchKlipper Barge built in 1907. Shecontinued her intended function ofcarrying bulk cargoes until 1976 whenshe was converted into a floating hotelcarrying eleven passengers in style onThames cruises. Now, after a brief spellof glory as a participant in the Queen’sJubilee Pageant, she is entering a newphase of life as work nears completionto transform the Actief into amagnificent floating family home.Before detailed carpentry work couldstart, the matter of efficient heating hadto settled. Clearly, with shipboard spaceat a premium, an ‘under-floor’ systemthat used no wall space was essential.With other considerations such as theability to lay in odd corners, lack of messduring installation and the necessity ofa system taking up minimal space, it wasdecided to use the Lowboard Systemdeveloped and manufactured byTimoleon. LowBoard uses panels ofhigh density wood that have a depth ofonly 13mm and can be laid on anyreasonably flat surface.

Bench heater maximises small spaces The Consilio bench radiator is muchmore than just a source of heat as itcombines functionality and aesthetics,making it a practical piece of designerfurniture. It is a stylish and practicalsolution for buildings where durable

fittings are required – schools,universities, leisure centre changingrooms and student accommodation, forexample. Consilio is also suited to rooms andspaces where every inch must be fully

utilised. Student accommodation is atypical example. Here, the benchradiator frees up wall space andprovides a functional piece of furniture,which also heats the room efficiently.Consilio came about from a project forstudent accommodation where thebrief was to provide a bed and studyarea with seating in a very small space.Hudevad’s solution was to incorporatetwo flat panel radiators as the front andback of a bench with seating on top.Because students can be a bit ‘robust’when it comes to furniture use, thevalves were encased in the panels awayfrom careless feet. All materials used in the construction ofConsilio have been selected for theirstrength and quality. The flat verticalsurfaces of the radiators are weldedrather than clipped on to a standardmodel giving a sturdier end result. The tappings have been positioned soall associated pipe work and valves areconcealed beneath the bench and arevery easy to install with no undersideconnections and an integratedthermostatic valve. All loads resultingfrom standing or sitting on the bench

are transferred to the floor via the legsrather than through the water-carryingparts of the radiator.The bench seat itself has a beech finishas standard with other options, ash,mahogany and oak also available at asmall surcharge. Hudevad is happy tosatisfy architects’ requirements on designand options so several alternative benchmaterials are also available includingsteel and stone options. Differentcoloured paints may also be chosen forthe radiator panels themselves.

Boiler controllermaximises efficiency to

deliver 20% savingsDomestic energy management specialist

Marshall-Tufflex has launched an intelligent boiler

control unit that can reduce boiler

running costs by 20%*.

The Domestic Boiler Managementunit, which is Energy Saving TrustRecommended and qualifies for the 5%VAT level if purchased direct from aninstaller, controls the firing cycle of gas,oil and LPG boilers, reducingunnecessary dry cycling. Not only doesthis, typically, cut boiler running costsby 20% (subject to usage pattern) it alsoprolongs boiler lifespan. Marshall-Tufflex believes the system is the onlydomestic unit available with the optionof an external weather sensor, whichfurther increases savings potential.The Domestic Boiler Management unitis available nationwide from leadingelectrical wholesalers. It measures just

177mm wide x 120mm high x 37mmdeep and is sited close to the boiler. It iseasily installed by a qualified electricianin approximately 45mins to 90mins,depending upon access. Once installedusers enjoy immediate savings withpayback typically within two years*.Field trials carried out in a range ofsocial and private housing validated theunit’s performance, with five testinstallations returning a combinedaverage saving of 43%.The Domestic Boiler Management unituses a unique variable thermal responseprogramme, coupled with electronicsensors, to intelligently manage combi,condensing or modulating boilers,

maximising efficiency while ensuringdemand on the heating system is met infull, as Marshall-Tufflex Head ofMarketing & Technical Services, JeremyDodge, explained: “Electronic sensorsare fitted to the flow and return pipesof the central heating system. Datafrom these sensors is used to vary thesystem temperature according todemand. This significantly reduces fuelwastage caused by temperatureovershoot, heat saturation of the heatexchanger, flue losses and unnecessarycycling. Internal comfort levels aremaintained and CO2 emissionsreduced.” Customers selecting the external

weather sensor (only suitable forheating-only and combi boilers) canexpect increased savings; broadly forevery degree the temperature fluctuatesoutside, the unit adjusts in the oppositedirection. This ensures flowtemperatures maintain internal comfortlevels and enables combi-condensingboilers to operate in energy savingcondensing mode for longer duringfluctuting periods of cold weather.

Advanced condensing technology incorporated into theRinnai heavy duty range ensures every cubic metre ofnatural gas or LPG is utilised to the maximum. It alsoensures Rinnai is ahead of the game in anticipating newlegislation and proposed changes to current legislation– Rinnai UK has a full range of solutions that surpassthese proposed changes. And, industry experts predict,the changes will soon extend to refurbishment andreplacement as the Government steps up the pace tocut harmful emissions and save energy.Rinnai’s condensing Infinity units also offer the highestefficiencies on the market. The flagship 1500 model, thecompany’s best seller, offers 105% efficiency with the1200 version surpassing this with a efficiency of 107%.These figures can add up to considerable ongoingenergy savings when compared with non-condensingcontinuous flow water heaters, or traditional storedwater solutions. The units are also renewable-ready and suitable for useas a temperature booster for solar thermal and heat-pump installations. This is welcome news in a climatewhere energy prices are steadily rising and new energyefficient technologies are fast coming into use and wherelarge operations are looking to fulfil corporate socialresponsibilities obligations on climate change. The super high efficiencies of the units more thansurpass the proposed criteria of the new Building Regs,as these merely propose efficiencies of 90% for naturalgas and 92% for LPG units – rendering the infinityfuture proofed against any possible changes in theforeseeable future.

Just one Infinity 1500 can supply 2000 plus litres of hotwater per hour. a massive volume on its own and whenmanifolded with other units, the supply is virtuallylimitless. It is also predicted that the Infinity heavy dutycondensing range will also rate highly under the eco-labelling directive.To make installation even simpler, Rinnai has launchedthe Infinity Plus Cascade, developed to guarantee themaximum amount of safe temperature controlled hotwater at any one time by even the heaviest commercialuser. The modules each incorporate Rinnai’s either twoor three 1500 and/or 1200 condensing units on acustom designed rack and feature Rinnai’s newlydeveloped common header flue system technology. “The introduction of the Infinity Plus Cascade meanswe can offer a continuous flow hot water solution,engineered to a very high standard and withconsiderable added value, to compete in a larger marketsector against traditional stored water solutions” saysChris Goggin, Rinnai UK Operations Manager.“Any number of Cascade modules can be manifolded

therefore the capacity is infinite making the infinity plusCascade the ideal choice for large buildings and forbusinesses or organisations where there is a heavydemand for constant hot water and/or where it peaksmassively at certain times of the day.”

Specifiers looking for the most energy efficient hot water solution for large commercialbuildings, would be well advised to cast their eyes in the direction of Rinnai’s robust and reliablecondensing range of continuous flow gas water heaters, especially in view of the possible advent

of new Building Regs on gas fired water heaters which are at the ‘proposals’ stage.

HEATING PRODUCTS FOR THE TIMES

Modern interiors are more often thannot designed to be light and airyspaces – clean lines and minimalist inconcept. Unfortunately real lifequickly intrudes on the designer’svision as the placement of potentiallydistracting objects such as radiatorsand associated pipe work need to beconsidered.This is where the architect’s ingenuityreally comes into play and designs areenvisioned that incorporate radiatorsinto fluid, unobtrusive curves alongwalls or even as an architecturalfeature such as a run of balustradesor even disguised as pillars.

“It is at this point reality strikesbecause units such as these are hardlygoing to be picked off the shelves ofa plumbers’ merchant so it is reallyimportant to find a proactivemanufacturer who can share thevision and also come up with bespokepractical solutions – withoutcompromise,” says Peter Diamant ofHudevad.“One-off projects need one-off,bespoke products so a radiatormanufacturer in this premiummarket has to be prepared to beflexible; to work with the client to findthe best solution. The worst thing amanufacturer can do is say “this iswhat we do, take it or leave it”. Theywill receive no thanks for imposingtheir limitations on the design andthe architect will swiftly take thebusiness elsewhere to somebody witha more flexible approach, says MrDiamant.”Architecture and interior design inboth the public and domestic domainhas long been influenced by theclassic Scandinavian convention andhence industrial ‘furniture’ such asradiators follows this trend, whichlooks as though it will continue. Andit is happening already – flat frontedradiators with hidden integral valvesand sensors may be seamlesslyextended from their standard 300mmwidth into a continuous run ofalmost limitless length by the use of

infill panels. These runs can besituated anywhere from floor level toceiling height. Throw into the mix amanufacturer who is willing and ableto curve these units to fit a specificfeature, such as pillars, and therereally is no limit. The versatility offlat fronted radiators lends itself tomany different projects, not just thoseon a grand scale. A recentlyconstructed student accommodationblock used them to great effect in thebedrooms where the brief was toprovide a bed and study area withseating in a very small space. Thesolution was to incorporate two flatpanel radiators as the front and backof a bench with seating on top.Because students can be a bit ‘robust’when it comes to furniture use, thevalves were encased in the panelsaway from careless feet and damage.The concept was so successful it isnow being installed in an art gallery,too. “Flat fronted radiators also lendthemselves to use in front of windowswhere they can be assembled back toback and floor mounted to present auniform appearance from eitherside,” adds Hudevad’s PeterDiamant. “Again, there are no pipesor valves on show as they are hiddenaway behind the elegant, flat façadealong with the temperature controlsensors”.www.hudevad.co.uk

Across the range, C-Statprogrammable ‘stats offer time andtemperature control from a singlewall mounted unit. They have acompletely new design whichincludes state-of-the-art electronicsand energy saving TPI software.Particular attention has been paid tothe styling and user interface whichfeatures easy to use button controlsand a clear, 70mm menu drivenbacklit display.The C-Stat ZW is battery poweredand offers wireless connectivity usingproven Z-Wave technology betweenthe control and the boiler mountedreceiver. The pairing processbetween the two is both simple andreliable.In an upgrade or retro-fit situation -

typically in a combi boiler installationwhere no room thermostat is fitted -the wireless ZW version has theadvantage of eliminating anychannelling or damage to decormaking it a quick and easyinstallation. The TPI energy saving software usedin all C-Stat models can producesavings of as much as 10% annually*on central heating bills.And in addition to these savings thehouseholder also benefits from arange of additional features includingkeypad temperature override, anadjustable boost facility and actualroom temperature indication. There are 24 hour and 7 day versionsof the C-Stat ZW each offering andup to six temperature setting options

per day. Using the menu drivenprogramming function commandssuch as frost protection, holiday,tamper proof mode, upper and lowertemperature limits, override andboosts as well as an (optional)optimum start feature can also beactivated. To achieve the energysavings, TPI software in the C-Statmakes a series of calculations thatwill precisely dictate the amount ofheat needed every 10 minutes (for gasboilers) and switch the boiler on for aproportion of that time to maintainthe set room temperature. This stops the wide fluctuations thatcan occur with conventionalthermostats and also fine tunes theperformance of the boiler creatingthe opportunity to save on fuel.

Horstmann’s new C-Stat range of electronic programmablethermostats for domestic central heating offers a wireless version -

the C-Stat ZW - with user and installer features over and abovethose of the standard battery and mains powered models.
