CHURCH LIFE
Tansun has replaced the inefficient underfloor heating system at St Michael ’ s Church in Wolverhampton with highly efficient infrared heaters saving over 75 % in energy costs .
The church ’ s congregation desperately sought a permanent heating solution to keep them warm during their services that didn ’ t take hours to preheat . Their previous underfloor heating had to be switched on three days before Sunday service .
This meant that for the winter months , the heating system had to be turned on at midday on Thursday so that the church would be warm enough for the Sunday service . This proved to be very costly , and was unsustainable for the church .
Tansun ’ s Apollo infrared space heaters were chosen for the church as they were powerful enough to heat large buildings with high ceilings . Tansun offers a range of bracketry so the space heaters could be mounted at the appropriate angle to warm those below .
The results from the changeover to Tansun ’ s high quality space heaters are self-evident . The church now only has to turn on the infrared heaters exactly when the heat is required . This has enabled the church to save a staggering 79 % per annum on its heating .

TRUNKING TRIO
A trio of Marshall-Tufflex cable management solutions have been used extensively throughout a re-developed school in Stockton-on-Tees , Northumberland , which has just recorded the best results in its history .
The new Grangefield Academy replaced an old building on the same site , delivering hi-tech , modern facilities for more than 1,000 students . Three Marshall-Tufflex trunking solutions – Mono Plus 20 , Sterling Profile and aluminium bench trunking – were specified to manage the large volumes of power and data cabling throughout the three-storey building .
Some 1,000 metres of three-compartment Mono Plus 20 have been installed in classrooms , which required a sleek cable management solution . Designed to fit within areas that may have trunking height restrictions , Mono Plus 20 incorporates one main compartment and two smaller outer compartments . It can be sub-divided and is suitable for dado application . One piece fittings allow for quick and easy installation .
Where larger capacity trunking was required , Marshall-Tufflex ’ s Sterling Profile in charcoal was chosen , a popular solution that is cost effective and easy to install . Tried and tested within educational establishments over many years , Sterling also offers three segregated compartments , with a separate lid to access each .
The final piece of the Marshall-Tufflex cable management jigsaw was the British manufacturer ’ s aluminium bench trunking , installed in the kitchen areas of the school ’ s home economics facilities . All the Marshall-Tufflex products were supplied by Edmundson Electrical , Durham .
