Radiators, it’s fair to say, might not be the first thing you think about when designing a beauty salon. When there are stylish colour schemes to pick, floor-to-ceiling mirrors to purchase, flattering lighting arrays to set up and trendy cushions, curtains and curiosities to choose for decoration, you may be reluctant to save space for a heater. But beauty salons need heat like anywhere else, and with a chilly winter coming in it’s never been more important to choose energy efficient heating products that will keep you and your clients warm this winter without inflating your heating bills. Our electric heaters have been very popular with salon managers facing just this conundrum: how to heat efficiently and effectively whilst maintaining a stylish design scheme?

As the months roll into autumn, it’s easy to feel envious of people who live in remote locations. As we gawp over images of vast Scottish forests spotted with red and gold, lust after Welsh valleys turning yellow and brown with October leaves, and daydream about Cornish seaside hamlets surrounded by blackberry bushes, it can be all too easy to start coveting those pretty stone cottages in the middle of nowhere. But the reality of autumn life in these remote locations can be harsh, with hundreds of homes in our most isolated areas facing fuel poverty every year. Electric radiators can provide a solution, offering energy efficient electric heating to those areas where gas central heating isn’t an option...

It’s September and that means the winter sports season is well under way. Every weekend, and most evenings, the commuter routes to our country’s biggest stadiums are swollen with the traffic of loyal fans marching to see their chosen team to victory – or, perhaps, to defeat. For the next few weeks the nation’s sports fans will be pouring into Cardiff as the tussle for the Rugby World Cup begins. There’s no doubt about it: we’re a nation of sports lovers, and whether it’s rugby, football, netball, horse-racing, ice-hockey, athletics or Quidditch that takes our fancy, we always brave the bad weather to add our voices to the cheering crowds. But could your stadium benefit from a little bit of outdoor heating?
