SPIRAL CELLARS, the UK’s leading supplier of luxury wine storage, is targeting the build and home improvement market with the launch of its new Spiral Cellars KITs. A Spiral Cellar KIT enables a construction or build team to independently install a luxury underground wine cellar without having to call upon the additional services of a Spiral Cellars installation team. A highly detailed installation manual provides instruction on how to dig and prepare the hole for the cellar, and then, when ready, the cellar is supplied in modular format ready for the construction team to install themselves. Spiral Cellars are confident that a competent build team can install a Spiral
Cellar themselves simply by following the KIT Installation Manual. However, for less experienced build teams who feel they would benefit from some assistance with the installation, Spiral Cellars have also introduced an ‘Assisted KIT’ installation option. The Assisted KIT provides clients with an on-site presence of a Spiral Cellars Installation Manager to help undertake, support and advise on the more complicated aspects of the install. The ‘Assisted KIT’ bridges the gap between the full Spiral Cellars installation service and build teams having to “go it alone”. And because a trained Spiral Cellars team member is on site for the installation, a cellar bought as an ‘Assisted KIT’ has the additional benefit of coming with a full cellar warranty.
The price of a Spiral Cellar KIT varies dependent on the chosen cellar depth, model and door option but start upwards from £18,840. A Spiral Cellars Assisted KIT starts from £21,340. Spiral Cellars kits can be viewed online at

Always at the cutting edge of gardening solutions, WESTLAND is launching Smartflo into the market, the first hose that ‘unkinks’ itself, reduces the risk of leaks and is built to last.
A new product addition to the
Flopro range for 2021, the Smartflo hose provides a solution to the two main challenges consumers face with traditional hoses – kinks and leaks.
Made from thermo elastomer technology, the Smartflo hose is flat when not in use but expands as water flows through it. This

expandable material allows the hose to effectively remove kinks by itself as water passes through. It also minimises the amount of water left within the hose as it decompresses after use, removing the risk of leaks and internal damage. Marloes Rots, Flopro Brand Manager, said, “Consumers are often frustrated by garden hoses that develop kinks, leaks or break easily. Available in 20m, 30m and 40m, the Smartflo hose breaks new ground in hosepipe technology
given its ability to expand and deflate - and is so durable that we offer a 30-year guarantee with the product.” n flopro-uk
