Stelrad helps BBC’s DIY SOS team When Liverpool Mutual Homes decided to help the BBC’s DIY SOS programme take on its biggest ever project, as part of its contribution to BBC’s Children in Need charity for 2011, it was clear it would need to call in a few favours from its contractors and suppliers! One of which was Stelrad Radiators. Stelrad joined forces with
Wolseley Group to supply the radiators that were needed across the project; a total of 28 Compact radiators. “We were delighted to be able to contribute to the project and supply the radiators needed to make the centre a comfortable and attractive place for the youngsters that benefit so much from the programmes offered there,” says Stelrad’s Lorraine Hawes.

Huge electricity savings by fitting new heating pump There’s a high efficiency small circulator, now available in the UK, that consumes only 46.5 kWh/a for a typical family home, according to the standard Europump Commitment meas- urement procedure. That is around a 90 per cent energy saving over an old uncontrolled pump and only 50 per cent of the electricity demanded by what was previously the best energy efficiency class ‘A’ pump and it is more economical than any other A-class pump you can buy. In fact, it uses less electricity in a
year than a standby light on a TV! It is the Wilo Stratos-PICO, you can ask for it by name!

Praise for new BRE fire safety document A critical weakness in keeping buildings as fire-safe as possible can be the penetration of fire compartment walls and floors by building services such as cables, pipes and ductwork, including dampers. “The latest ‘Good Building Guide’, published by the BRE (Building Research Establishment) and entitled ‘Installing fire-resisting duct- work & dampers’ (GBG 81), is therefore very welcome”, comments Bob Chapman
of established fire-resistant ductwork system manufacturer, Fire Protection Ltd (FPL). “This commendable document emphasises important installation factors in the use of these critical building components. The correct choice and installation of damper and fire resistant ductwork is vital in protecting and maintaining ade- quate levels of compartmentation under fire conditions.”
