• Turning up the heat Jaga has provided safe, energy- efficient radiators for the flagship Richmond Witney retirement village in Oxfordshire. Nearly 400 slimline wall-mounted Strada radiators in a variety of sizes and complemented by Jaga valves were installed in the sitting room, bedrooms and kitchens of all one and two-bedroom independent living apartments. They were specified by HC M&E, building services consultant for the project. Although not an LST radiator, the Strada model remains cool to the touch at all times, eliminating the risk of burns to elderly residents. They are also energy efficient due to Jaga’s Low-H20 technology.

Furniture contract boosts the environment
K
nown for breaking away from traditional design standards; Teal Living has been chosen by
Four Seasons Health Care (FSHC) as sole supplier of furniture for all the day and receptions areas across its portfolio of homes. As a result, Teal Living has produced
a range of bespoke products and a supporting online portal for ease of ordering that is setting a benchmark for the sector. The portal, designed to FSHC home-
branding guidelines, provides preferred product selections from the Teal Living range in a way that gives individual homes a choice of how they want to style their homes, within a standardised colour scheme across the estate. The range consists of seating,
cabinets, occasional furniture, accessories, and cushions. As standard, seating products
feature pressure-relieving cushions with robust stretch fabric. Three varying chair sizes are also available with differing seat heights. Teal also provides an ongoing
sustainability and recycling programme through which it recycles and reuses
materials, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill. This approach has provided FSHC
with a certificate that confirms and demonstrates how much it has reduced its carbon footprint so far. Sara Jane Farrow, national business
manager at Teal Living, said: “We are thrilled to have been selected as the sole supplier of furniture. “We were able to provide innovative
designs and solutions demonstrating our established infrastructure is easily equipped to design and manufacture dementia-friendly, age-appropriate, and well-made items of furniture that provide piece of mind for clients and end users.”
