This summer, the UK has been enjoying unusually hot weather, which has even led to record-breaking temperatures of 35.1°C¹. For many consumers the long spell of hot weather, coupled with fortnightly bin collections, has resulted in unpleasant food waste smells, insects and pests. An InSinkErator^® food waste disposer is the ideal solution to this growing problem.

With an InSinkErator^® food waste disposer, households can reduce the amount of food waste lingering in their bins, unwanted odours and the risk of attracting rodents and insects. InSinkErator^® food waste disposers allow food waste to be dealt with instantly, hygienically and in a sustainable manner, with further benefits of saving space and improving cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen. Food waste is ground into minute-sized particles, thanks to the innovative system of stainless steel grinding rings. The food waste is then dispatched and simply rinsed away safely down the drain, through the standard plumbing.

A 69-year-old chose a Stiltz Home Lift after he had to be rescued by the fire brigade when he became stuck on his stairlift – the third time the mechanical device had broken down in a week.

Stephen Kimberley, from Bromsgrove, was traveling downwards when his stairlift ground to a halt having moved just four steps from the top of the stairs.

Mr Kimberley shouted for help in the hope one of his neighbours would hear him before using his mobile phone which he had in his pocket to call his sister, Pamela, who lives nearby. She rang the emergency services who were able to rescue him within minutes.

Structural glass – ubiquitous in office and high-rise residential developments in big cities – is now being used on a wide range of less high-profile but structurally innovative residential projects.

The strength needed, as well as the need for excellent acoustic, solar, thermal, and security performance, means that as glass panels become bigger, they become extremely heavy.

Hird Group is playing a key role in helping glass installation specialists as they race to keep up with new ways architects are finding to use large structural glass panels in homes.

It supplies some of the UK’s most advanced and innovative glass lifting equipment and mini cranes. If necessary, Hird works with manufacturers to design glass vacuum lifters for specific developments.
