The perfect heating solution where space is a premium and low costs required
W
ith much discussion and debate on how to solve the UK’s housing crisis, recent Government plans are
considering Modular Homes as a solution. The design and build of modular homes might be simple and affordable but what heating source will be used to keep them warm? A gas grid connection or renewable heating source may not be economical therefore Electric Heating could be the answer. The Electric Heating Company’s SlimJim
electric boiler could be perfect for Modular Homes. The compact design of the SlimJim boiler makes it ideal for heating applications where space is at a premium. The Slim Jim is a fully controllable electric flow boiler which is designed to maximise cupboard space. The SlimJim provides the flexibility and controllability that a gas fired central heating system offers. Using standard pipe-work, conventional wet system radiators and thermostatic radiator valves the boiler, being 100 per cent efficient and fully modulating, will take the same amount of time to heat the
property. As no flue is involved and no gas analysis required the installation of the system will be a lot quicker than that of a gas system boiler. The SlimJim has a versatile range of outputs
from 4kW to 14.4kW and therefore is adaptable to the size of Modular Home being built and insulation levels of the Modular Home. The SlimJim can be used in an ‘S’ Plan configuration to enable you to select Heating only, Hot Water or both at the same time. The SlimJim electric boiler is 100 per cent efficient, silent in operation, easy to fit and comes with a two-year manufacturers warranty meaning it ticks all the boxes for a Modular Home’s heating requirement.

Profloor Levelling System from the A. Proctor Group has once again been specified to enable a level finished floor to be installed on uneven concrete floors. The Lincoln Court development consists of 22 new affordable homes available. Developed to allow a level finished floor to
be installed on a cambered, stepped, or uneven sub-floor, Profloor Levelling System is typically used to take out the irregularities in mortar screeded floors.

Clearstone resin bound paves the way
Clearstone Paving Ltd has rejuvenated access roads to Queen Victoria’s palatial home on the Isle of Wight by installing resin bound. The existing approach roads of loose gravel were in a poor state and caretakers English Heritage needed a durable and long-lasting surface to blend in with the colour and style of this stunning property. Clearstone laid resin bound in Mocha. “The resin bound surfacing is in keeping with this prestigious site and it looks great,” says Tim Fagg, English Heritage’s Maintenance Project Manager. Despite poor weather and the logistics of transporting people and materials across to the island by ferry, Clearstone craftsmen laid 2,000m2
of resin bound in 11 days – on schedule for half-term visitors to
enjoy beautiful Osborne House. Available in a range of colours and textures to suit any property, Clearstone resin bound is a blend of naturally sourced aggregates and recycled materials in UV-stable resin. Hand trowelled, it’s flexible enough to incorporate curves, sharp corners and designs. Clearstone Paving Ltd provides a bespoke personal service from conception to completion, with the reassurance of a 10-year guarantee.
