In contrast, 58%) of men chose to have Kelly Brook.

Heat Your Home With Wood This Winter To Earn RHI Cash Back

Thursday, August 1st, 2013

Biomass BoilerIntroducing Euroheat‘s Rika Evo Aqua central heating boiler – a stove that can run a whole central heating system plus providing hot water on wood pellets.

It’s generally accepted that using wood for heating your home makes economic and ecological sense:

There is now an added incentive to make the change with the Government’s recent announcement that it intends to pay cash back to households, which choose to use renewable heat technologies, including biomass boilers, as part of the domestic RHI. (Renewable Heat Incentive).

So for each kilowatt hr. of heat created using a biomass type boiler, homeowners will be given cash back of 12.2p, so that they not only get back the original cost of installation, but also show a profit over the longer term.

A biomass boiler burns only wood fuel like wood pellets, split logs or wood chips to heat an accumulator or water tank that supplies hot water and the radiators, making it a real eco-friendly substitute for the conventional central heating system.

Furthermore, it’s a much better cost effective alternative to oil or gas, as well as being less detrimental to the atmosphere.

For example, the RHI cash back tariff for biomass boilers is an excellent offer for homeowners:

Using Euroheat’s 35 kW boiler, produces £4,867 a year making a total cash back over RHI’s 7 year lifespan of around £34,000.

Innovative Jesse Online Wall Storage Units From Go Modern

Monday, July 29th, 2013

Jesse Online Wall UnitsDo you long for a way to provide more storage room at home without encroaching too much on your living space?

The Danes produced the solution in the last century, with the Royal System, a wall-unit created by Poul Cadovious.

The Royal System was a floating wall structure for storage, which was light, reflective and assembled to individual requirements; an unlimited selection of cabinets and shelves in various sizes, fixed to the wall using simple uprights.

The Italian producer Jesse, who specialise in modern living designs have now brought the idea right up to date with the innovative Jesse Online wall units.

The Jesse Online system transforms the original Cadovious design by adding some unique technical modernisation:

  • The Online system has a bearing structure with no visible vertical structural parts, including a run of removable back sections in 5 different heights, along with creatively slim 30mm shelving, ingeniously engineered to bear heavy loads.
  • This results in an ultra-light structure, which can be fitted to any sort of supporting wall, not only structural walls, which is very often the trouble with conventional wall units.
  • The Online also uses up to date technology to enable incorporating audio systems, flat TV screens, as well as hidden lighting, so that ugly cables and plugs are concealed to comply with modern style requirements.
  • The system’s shelves have cable ducts and the cabinets include IR sensors that permit remote controls to function through closed doors.
  • The sliding doors incorporate another novel design feature – a track invisibly fitted to the shelves, which removes surface contact to provide a delightfully silent function.

The Jesse Online system is available in a choice of attractive finishes, including Thermal Oak – a specially treated new stylish dark oak.
