West Pennine Housing Association has recntly completed the development of even sustainable houses in Rochdale that have used Strada radiators from Jaga Heating. Designed to be kind on the environment and economical in the use of energy and water, the new three-storey dwellings are said to be intended to provide a housing solution for large, multi-generation families. Part of Jaga's Energy Savers range, the Strada benefits from intelligent Low H?O technology based on the concepts of low mass and low water. The radiators weigh only 10 per cent of a traditional steel panel radiator and have just one tenth the water content. The low H?O convection element inside Strada's radiators produces better distribution and circulation of warm air so that the heat reaches even the furthest corners of a room to prevent the growth of mould in cold areas and ensure the occupant's comfort. Safety is another key feature of the Strada which is particularly important for elderly residents or families with small children. The Strada has a surface temperature that remains safe to touch at all times.
