ECOMOD heat pump range capacity increases
Ideal Heating Commercial has expanded the range to include a 65 kW model to meet demand for higher output systems. This takes the ECOMOD 290HT range to four chassis sizes and six available outputs, from 15 kW to 65 kW. ECOMOD 290HT monobloc air source
heat pumps have an exceptionally low global warming potential (GWP) of just three, thanks to the use of R290 natural refrigerant. The lower the GWP, the lower the contribution to climate change. As with other ECOMOD heat pumps, the ECOMOD 290HT 65 kW can be used in a hybrid heating system.

Elevating performance and safety: The advanced role of sports fl ooring beyond standard vinyl
By Jon Burnitt – national sales manager sports & education for Gerfl or GBI Ltd: The quality of an indoor sports sheet vinyl fl oor can give specifi ers a sporting advantage, with a key function of sports fl ooring being to help protect players from injury and enhance their athletic performance. A sports fl oor surface is arguably the most important element of a sporting facility to its players, and to those who design, build and manage indoor sports premises, the need for a high quality and sustainable sports fl ooring that consistently delivers the comfort, safety and performance aspects that are so crucial to everyone taking part in sport. The fundamental importance of the role of indoor sports fl oorings to environments like clubs, gyms, sports halls and leisure centres can therefore not be underestimated, regardless of whether they are low-impact or elite performance sports locations. This also extends to educational establishments where long-term injuries to the bones, joints and ligaments of athletes could cut short a potential sporting career. When it comes to reducing the risk of injury, minimising the severity of an injury should it occur, the choice of sports fl ooring is critical.
