Baxi’s New Range Of Intelligent Central Heating Boilers

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Baxi’s New Range Of Intelligent Central Heating BoilersThis year Baxi launched their latest range of combi and system boilers, which all come with the THINK combustion management system, the cutting edge in boiler technology.

The great new range includes:

The brand new Baxi Neta-tec Combi – compact dimensions make this the perfect choice for homes where space may be limited

The Baxi Duo-tec – with additional features that made this award-winning original so popular, increasing energy efficiency and reliability.

The Megaflo System Compact – now with cupboard fit; this boiler is compatible with the Baxi Solarflo solar thermal range, making it a great system boiler for the future.

The THINK Combustion Management System.

  • Gas adaptive control: continually monitors the air and gas coming in and adjusts to make sure the burner in your boiler is always working at maximum efficiency. This means you always get the heat you are paying for, for the lifetime of your boiler.
  • Wide modulation range: this means that your boiler works at 100% when you need the most heat, but as your home warms up, it turns itself right down so that the temperature you have set is maintained without the boiler switching itself on and off.
  • Less gas is used as a result and, consequently, lower fuel bills. It also means that your boiler doesn’t have to work so hard, so there’s less wear and tear on its parts, making it much more reliable.
  • Also, because you’re not using so much gas, your carbon footprint is smaller too!
  • Automatic set up: All the new Baxi boilers are suitable for both natural gas and LPG. When fitted by your installer , the boiler recognises the gas type and adapts itself accordingly, making it much easier and quicker to install.

The Benefits: Baxi boilers are now quicker to install, helping you to save more on your fuel bills.
Offer lifetime combustion efficiency and set a new benchmark in reliability.

How To Maximize Space In A Small Kitchen

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

How To Maximize Space In A Small Kitchen Here are some great tips on how to maximize the space in a small kitchen, courtesy of Debbie Bowden, designer Barnes of Ashburton.

Bespoke is best! The beauty of commissioning a bespoke kitchen is that the cabinetry is made with your kitchen size in mind.

  • Every centimetre is resourcefully utilised to create efficient work-space and storage.
  • Worktops can be reduced in depth, cabinets scaled down in size. Everything is possible, as every component is made to measure. However, bespoke needn’t mean expensive with prices starting from £15000.
  • Pull out “Magic Corners” with a soft close mechanism provide an ideal corner storage system. These prevent food items, or hard to reach crockery languishing at the back of cupboards.
  • Recycling is still important in a small space. Discrete, pull out bins with compartments for sorting compost, glass and plastics, can be integrated into a kitchen, however small.
  • Choose appliances to make the most of the space available – a ¾ size dishwasher for example, or a multifunction oven.
  • Create the illusion of space by not fitting wall cabinets.
  • The owner of the kitchen featured, requested a traditional, hand-painted kitchen, with a relaxed feel. But for more of a contemporary, sleek look, consider handle-less kitchens.
  • Create the illusion of space with light-reflective paint, or hi-gloss finishes.
  • And if you can accommodate a central island, scale it down and create a sociable place for guests to perch.

Sturdy British Made Garden Wood Stores

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

Sturdy UK Made Wood Stores For Seasoning Your Logs Wood burning stoves and open fires are making a comeback, due to concerns about ever increasing energy prices and people looking for more eco friendly ways to heat their homes.

Wood burning stoves in particular, are more environmentally friendly and cheaper than regular heating methods, especially if you season and prepare the wood yourself:

Slow burning and smokeless fuel is produced when wood is allowed to dry naturally and weathered over time.

A sturdy log store is needed to store and season the wood, but it can make a striking garden feature, and by gradually stocking it up during summer, you can provide enough free fuel for the entire winter!

The robust British made log store featured here, is constructed from high-pressure treated wood, making it much harder-wearing than it might otherwise be. It is delivered in flat pack form and can be erected easily by one person.
Available online from GreenStamp priced at £275.

These log stores are made in the UK from the finest quality timber, all with FSC certification every process from harvesting, debarking, rounding, profiling and machining, is undertaken with the highest level of care and precision by a highly skilled workforce.

To view Green Stamp’s extensive collection of garden log stores, please visit the website.
