Barn Conversion Benefitting
From Low Heating Costs Thanks
To Ground Source Schiedel wins Best Flueing and
Ventilation Product at Hearth &
Home The Evolution of Ground Source
Heating. Kensa’s Evo Series
Secures UK Release
A barn conversion near Attleborough,
South Norfolk, is benefitting from
year-round heating and hot water at
low running costs, thanks to a ground
source heat pump installed by renewable
heating experts Finn Geotherm. Schiedel Chimney System’s ICID Plus
Double Wall Adjustable Starter Section,
a quick and easy way of disconnecting
a stove for inspection, has won ‘Best
Flueing and Ventilation Product’ at this
year’s Hearth & Home exhibition, which
took place from 11th - 13th June at the
Harrogate International Centre. The widely anticipated ErP A++ rated
Evo series of ground source heat pumps
from British manufacturer Kensa
Heat Pumps has received full MCS
accreditation enabling its UK wide
distribution via Kensa and its installer
network.
When homeowner Paul Withey set about
converting a 100 year old barn into a
contemporary four bedroom home, he
thought the rural location meant he
would be tied to a conventional oil boiler
for heating and hot water.
However, following a recommendation
from his architects, he began to
investigate ground source and quickly
realised it provided the ideal alternative.
As well as being easy to remove, the
product is also extremely simple to
install and as part of Schiedel’s new
improved ICID Plus range, comes with a
lifetime warranty.

EGGER Protects builders from
the weather for longer
New research and rigorous testing
of EGGER’s flagship flooring product,
EGGER Protect, has shown that the
structural board can remain exposed to
the elements for 60 days.
This is a substantial increase on the
previously cited 42 days, is unrivalled
in the industry, and gives UK house
builders peace of mind when dealing
with unforeseen delays.
The tried and tested system combines
three components: EGGER tongue and
groove structural flooring boards, EGGER
D4 Joint and Joist Adhesive and a
simple six-step installation process.
