Every bathroom needs a heater. What better feeling is there than stepping out of a hot shower into a warm, cosy, bathroom? Small luxuries like this can make getting up early less arduous, especially on a cold winters day. In the UK especially, the temperamental weather makes heating our homes a necessity, but that doesn’t mean your heating solution cannot add something special to your rooms. This is where heated mirrors come in; imagine being able to combine your bathroom mirror and heater in one, saving space while giving you that perfectly warm room you always wanted. Well, now you don’t have to! Herschel, a leading German heating innovator, have created a range of stylish, heated mirrors, perfect for your bathroom.

Let’s be realistic; working when you’re cold is no fun, and productivity dips dramatically when all you can think about is that warm jumper you left at home this morning. In the UK especially, winter weather seems to take over the majority of the year, instead of being confined to its season. One day you can be walking to work in the glorious sunshine, and the next you’re running through freezing rain, trying desperately to prevent your belongings from being drenched. Unfortunately, this is the nature of our weather, like it or not. However, you can prevent this damp mood from spreading inside your office by installing a system of infrared heating panels, creating a significantly more inviting (and stylish!) work environment. 

Let’s face it: British weather is temperamental. It doesn’t allow us many warm evenings in which we can sit outside and enjoy a meal or drink without feeling cold. As soon as the sun goes, so does the chance of a nice evening outside. But why should the weather prevent you from using your outdoor space? Whether for commercial or residential use, electric outdoor heaters can provide a solution to this by extending the outdoor season without completely breaking the bank. Read on to discover the differences between electric and gas heaters, low glare or no glare, and which product is best suited to your outdoor heating needs.

Yet, what if there was a way to make the English summer longer, the evenings warmer, and the unpredictable weather less of an issue? Yes, It may be the summer, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is still very much England, where the weather could change in a heartbeat.
