Whole Home Solution: Bathrooms
Our bathrooms are getting smaller. At just 4.4 square metres, the average bathroom is not much bigger than a king-sized mattress. One of the biggest challenges as a result of smaller bathroom dimensions is heating the space whilst maintaining safety for our families, particularly with the trend for installing wet rooms in an effort to maximise space.

How to specify the right heat pump for your residential project: Environmental and planning concerns
Heat pumps are being increasingly specified for residential projects to meet hot water and space heating demands. They provide a low carbon alternative to the use of fossil fuels as an energy source and can achieve compliance to Part L 2021, the latest building regulations update to the approved document covering the conservation of fuel and power. The government is proposing further changes to building regulations in 2025 in the form of the Future Homes Standard that will prohibit the use of fossil fuels for new residential buildings. Therefore, specifying heat pumps now will help to future proof specifications and minimise the need for retrofitting to meet further regulatory changes.
Meeting the challenges of heating specification
Meeting the energy efficiency requirements of Building Regulations remains the biggest driver when choosing appropriate heating, cooling and hot water systems for new property development, according to research commissioned by Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation.
