When purchasing new appliances, many people look at the different benefits of certain models over others and their money saving capabilities. What you may not know when shopping for a new range oven is that dual fuel cookers provide the flexibility of being able to choose which fuel you cook with, as well as offering energy efficient cooking that is less of a strain on the environment? How is this possible?
If your local electric company provides you with electricity from a renewable source such as solar or wind power, every time you use the electric components of a dual fuel cooker to cook your meals, you are helping save the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. Thus, a dual fuel range cooker is a great option for someone who wants to reduce their emissions and work on going green, without having to sacrifice the quick and efficient cooking a gas stove can offer.
The revolutionary Comfort Furnace™ provides a money-saving solution to all your heating needs. Using an average of 35% less energy than conventional electric furnace/baseboard systems, the Comfort Furnace™ is the most economical way to heat your home and can cut your heating bills by up to 50%! Its Infrared quartz heating system evenly disperses warm air throughout your home; 80% of the heat generated by the Comfort Furnace™ is absorbed by the objects in the room instead of dissipating through the walls, floors and ceiling as other heating systems do.

Resourceful light sources
Try table lamps or swing wall lamps for a luxurious look that can provide a more natural light.
Vanity Fair
Seek out a vanity that looks more like a piece of furniture than a cabinet. You can convert an antique bureau or select a bow-fronted vanity for a unique, custom-look.
Show your true colors
Don’t be afraid of bold color in the bathroom, especially since the paintable wall surface is often reduced by showers, mirrors and tile. armstrong

The Sundeck bathtub can be installed outdoors or anyway where there is a hot water connection. A padded cover keeps the water warm: when folded at the ends, it creates two headrests; when fully open it can be used as a sunlounger or deck. The rectangular shape of the bathtub (in acrylic 186 x 86 cm) emphasises the essential clarity of the concept. The wood panelling is weatherproof.duravit
