Heating, Ventilation & Insulation
Class 02 Gran Sasso Juta 01
An iconic style in the Livingstone
range, based on classic design - it offers
sweeping and harmonious architectural
detailing. Gran Sasso - the tallest mountain
in Italy outside of the Alps - is the
inspiration behind this popular
Livingstone design. The charm of the
mountain, the coarseness of the rock,
are all brought to life in the Gransasso’s
surface. Juta suggests the idea of softness to an
object that is totally lacking in it. Juta
looks like a material but clearly isn’t.

5. Do you have any advice on how
radiators should be positioned within
the room?
There was a time when putting
radiators under windows was the
accepted thing to do. This was partly to
help alleviate any cold draughts from
the windows, but also because it was
considered dead wall space.
People live differently now, with
bigger sofas and TVs, so wall space
becomes a premium. Thanks to major
improvements in double glazing and
other insulation techniques plus the
strides radiator manufacturers have
taken to improve the efficiency of their
products, you can find something that
will work in almost any situation.
6. What are the options, in terms of
style?
There are so many options to choose
from – size, shape, colour can all be
part of the consideration.
7. Do radiators work alongside renewable
heat sources, such as heat pumps?
Most definitely. However, it is
important to remember that often
renewable heat sources are producing
heat at lower temperatures than a
conventional boiler would and as a
result the radiator needs to be sized
accordingly. However, there are
radiators available, such as those with
low water content, that are specifically
designed to work with these systems
and contribute to overall energy
efficiency.
8. Do you have any additional tips for
installing a stove that are not mentioned
above?
People like having stoves, but
they should only be considered as
supplementary to a households’ heat
requirements. The advantage of having
radiators is that you can wake to a
warm house. No one wants to stoke a
fire in their pyjamas first thing in the
morning. Trendy
