SprayCork improves air tightness, which reduces air leakage and traps heat within the room. Because it improves the energy efficiency of the building, it makes them warmer for longer, relying less of costly and polluting heating systems. And as a vapour open system, it prevents damp and mould issues.

Discrete Heat 

ThermaSkirt H₂O is an energy efficient infrared radiant heating system, cleverly designed to look just like a traditional skirting board. By combining 2 elements in one, it will save you valuable wall and floor space, improve the aesthetics of your room and reduce your energy bills.

ThermaSkirt is manufactured using a highly conductive aluminium alloy that radiates heat up to 5 times more effectively than steel. ThermaSkirt responds in minutes and works with any floor construction or covering. Connecting onto any typical central heating system, boiler or heat pump, ThermaSkirt carries all necessary testing and safety certificates.

DoorCo Ltd

ORiGINAL is DoorCo’s range of industry-leading foam-filled composite doors made with recycled PVC, foam and GRP skins to create a durable, energy efficient external door solution with a low core U-Value of 0.78 and door set U Value of as low as 0.82. 

The benefit of the ORiGINAL foam-filled door range is that it provides homeowners with a reliable, weather-resistant and thermally-efficient external door option whilst having the widest range of design options at their fingertips, so they can enjoy style and substance.  

Enviroheat HET

Hot water cylinders are thermally insulated tanks which store hot water for use whenever required. Stored hot water means the heating system doesn’t need to be constantly running to provide hot water. The Enviroheat Smart Cyl does this even more efficiently than standard cylinders thanks to its integrated HET technology.  

A game-changing product available in sizes from 90 to 500 litres which delivers:  

- Up to 40% energy savings  
- Up to 100% more usable hot water 
- 30% more energy storage    
- Compatibility with all heat sources – heat pump, gas boiler, electric immersion  

Flutter Shutter Ltd

Flutter Shutter™ is an alternative window replacement product that has an energy efficiency rating parallel to triple glazing. It works when the louvres are open, allowing natural light to flow through the room, saving you energy and money. It is also an aesthetic window feature that will increase your EPC band Rating. 

The benefits of Flutter Shutter™ are it will help in reaching Net Zero targets and decarbonisation. It will save you energy and money, increase the EPC band rating, it has an energy rating parallel to triple glazing without having to install triple glazing. It is environmentally friendly, it can reduce the outside noise pollution, it is fully draught proofed, durable, and easy to clean and maintain. 

Green Mole Limited

Below pavement EV charging. Retrofit valve for Combi-boilers that controls flow to save carbon, water, gas. Giant solar panelled Smartflower follows the sun for maximum efficiency and is self-cleaning when panels/petals close. 

Enables home/business charging where there is no offroad parking. End user gets faster hot water while saving time and money with no behaviour change required. Premium product making efficient clean energy while showcasing sustainability and green credentials. 

Grid Edge

The Grid Edge AI solution empowers commercial buildings to Net Zero, making the complex world of energy simple. Using data, AI & machine learning it delivers continuous optimisation of carbon and cost across your real estate portfolio typically delivering 20%+ savings and a return on investment in less than a year.

Heat Innovations

Organic Heat Exchangers

EnergiVault is a thermal energy storage system, a cold battery to support industrial refrigeration systems. EnergiVault stores cold energy as ice slurry, tiny ice crystals suspended in a parent fluid, and can be discharged in very flexibly to provide process and space cooling in support of existing refrigeration systems. 

EnergiVault has two primary benefits. Demand for cooling and supply of electricity can be delinked; the battery can be charged using low-cost/low-carbon electricity, discharging to replace high-cost/high-carbon electricity. Secondly, it provides peak cooling support, when existing system are unable to provide the required cooling load.
