Freeze Master

Freeze Master

Late in 2007 Freeze Master started development of the 420D model, the first to be released in their new range of electric pipe freezers.  The 420D was launched at the Executive Hire Show at the Ricoh Arena in February 2008.  The new 420D chassis design incorporating a carry case with lid closed slots proved so popular, that in 2010 the 690E model and revised 280D models were launched; followed by the low cost ezefreeze model in 2012.

 

In these last 9 years Freeze Master have not had a single machine from the new range of models returned with an unexplained gas loss.  Freeze Master electric pipe freezing machines do not need gas top ups, re-gassing or regular service checks.

Inclusive Design and the Ageing Population

Showers

Martin Walker, CEO of Methven UK, discusses the role played by technology and design in the creation of usable bathrooms for the ageing population and what this means for installers.

Thanks to improvements in healthcare, advancements in technology and a higher standard of living, the population of the UK is now living longer than ever before. Whilst clearly a cause for celebration, this also presents new issues which, as an industry, bathroom manufacturers must address. More than 11 million people are now aged over 65 and a third of us are aged 55 and over, whilst the number of living centenarians has increased by 73% in the last decade(i). With this shift in demographic comes the necessity to ensure that society is prepared to meet the needs of the elderly.
