Finborough School in Suffolk has used Drugasar balanced flue wall heaters in order to heat its buildings and increase efficiency. The boarding school for children of all ages has used the heaters as they provide more flexible heating than a universal 'wet' system.
Conventional gas fires require constant ventilation to keep them burning, consuming energy and fuel. In contrast, a balanced flue gas fire is room sealed with a glass front. It uses natural convection by drawing air from outside the building for combustion, then expelling it back to the outside through a separate compartment of the flue, minimising excess fuel consumption. It also increases energy efficiency by running on both natural gas and liquified petroleum gas.
Recently the company's engineers have also installed new 'Art' series models in the dormitories and art studios, bringing the total to over sixty heaters.
