Millions of Brits may not realise the air quality in their home is insufficient. If left unchecked, the ongoing effects of this indoor pollution can affect your comfort and health in the long run.

As a business owner, you should already be aware of the fire safety requirements linked to the company premises, especially if you run a busy office.

Manual and automatic window controls are becoming increasingly popular in residential properties across the UK. Conventionally designed for commercial, industrial or public buildings, they offer a practical solution for opening and closing windows, especially those located in hard-to-reach positions.

Your traditional, ESPAG or Casement windows could well be posing a danger to your health, your valuables and your property. Here are four staggering stats that may make you re-think the need for a smarter, more secure way of opening and closing your windows.

Natural ventilation is a simple concept concerning the movement of air particles throughout an indoor space without any mechanical assistance. An effective natural ventilation system is difficult to execute however, especially as building types vary in size, shape and air supply.

Ventilation systems are predominantly installed to reduce building temperatures and keep occupants cool. However, as another bonus, the improved air flow provides fantastic health benefits and helps prevents infection from spreading between occupants.

Automated windows operate with a locking drive or device known as an actuator. They allow windows to be operated automatically via a remote control switch, commonly used in schools, hospitals and office blocks.

As an employer, it’s your responsibility to provide the very best conditions for staff to thrive in. A happy workforce is a productive workforce so it’s in your best intentions to create a healthy working environment.

Whether you have a small office or a large industrial office, there is always room for improvement! Making the most of your office space is essential to you, your workers and more importantly your work. Believe it or not, the right office environment can actually improve your staff’s productivity by 25%.

Rising temperatures can make staff lethargic and even cause dehydration in some cases. Because of this, it pays to invest time and money into heat control methods that help staff feel more comfortable carrying out their day-to-day duties.
