December 23rd, 2011

Holiday Inn Kitchener

If the color of the corporate logo has anything to do with it Holiday Inn is truly a green facility in Kitchener, Ontario. The company recently installed a Urimat Waterless Urinal . Salim Mukadam, General Manager, for Holiday Inn stated ” we truly believe in the waterless urinal concept and believe the saving water anywhere we can is good corporate governance”.

Urimat has been saving companies such as Holiday Inn thousands of litres of valuable drinking water each and every year. Urimat is a Swiss company that manufactures all their urinals in Switzerland using patented water saving technologies in the implementation of a urinal that operates efficiently and effectively.

Urimat is distributed in North America by Otter Creek and Skywards Farms and they can service Canada and the United States from their warehouse locations in the Province of Ontario and Alberta.

New Test Results for Titan Post Anchor coming in early 2012.

December 22nd, 2011

 

Titan Wood Post Anchor

Question from City of Barrie

 I am a Plans Examiner for the City of Barrie and I have a homeowner that wants to use the Titan Post Anchors. Do you have any testing that is stamped by an Engineer of Ontario?

Reply from Richard Bergman

Thank you Robert for your message.  In early December we successfully completed very extensive engineering testing for compliance with guard rails according to both the Ontario and Canadian building codes for our 4×4 post anchor up to 42″.   Intertek has a world class cadre of engineers and the report is being drafted right now.  This should be available some time early in the new year.  It will include maximum spacing, joist blocking, fastener and other specific configuration related details.  I trust it will satisfy all areas of interest.

Reply from City of Barrie

Thanks for the quick reply. It appears like it will satisfy what we require before we will approve the use of the product in the City of Barrie. I am sending a blind copy of this reply to the homeowner so that he is aware that it should be approved in the near future. I look forward to receiving the report when it is ready for our review.

General Info

To date thousands of the Titan Post Anchors have been installed both in Canada and the United States with great success and positive feedback from customers. Titan continues to expand its testing with all its products to continually satisfy the building code requirements in both Canada and the United States. The Titan Post Anchor is one of the strongest and safest post anchors on the marketplace today.

Urimat waterless urinal visual maintenance with MB Active Cube.

November 27th, 2011

Urimat Siphon

MB-ActiveTrap

Patented three-way control
The cover of the integrated MB-ActiveCube has three settings which regulate the efficiency of the block, thereby controlling its effective service life. 

Integrated MB-ActiveCube
The integrated MB-ActiveCube improves hygiene, reduces deposits and prevents the inside of the odour trap and the waste pipe becoming encrusted with organic matter, urine deposits and fats. 

Life Cycle Indicatore
After the MB-ActiveCube has dissolved, the red surface beneath the transparent cover signals that the odour trap has to be replaced. 

Vertically sealing membrane system
The vertical membrane technology guarantees that odours are completely sealed away and is able to withstand both negative and positive pressures. It is impossible for gases from the sewage system to escape.

Functional description

Collected urine is channelled via a funnel into the odour trap and runs through the vertically positioned membrane into the sewage system. As soon as urine stops flowing, the membrane closes and in this way prevents gases from the sewage system from escaping.

Where to Buy

Urimat waterless urinals are distributed in Canada and the U.S. by selected distributors. Otter Creek is located in Canada and services the Eastern portion of Canada and the United States. Customers can reach them by calling 1-800-981-3590

Danfoss LX Thermostats offer precision control of your floor heating.

October 27th, 2011

Danfoss Thermostat

The Danfoss LX electronic thermostat with floor sensor ensures precise control of your floor heating system.

The floor will be nice and warm, and never too hot that it risks damage.  That way the temperature in the floor construction is always in accordance with the tolerance level that the manufacturer of the floor surface has recommended.

Danfoss is also a favourable option from the point of view of operating costs. Together, the positioning of the source of heat under the floor and the very precise thermostatic control ensures an exceptionally high level of energy utilisation.

Typically, floor heating makes it possible to lower the average room temperature by 2º C without affecting the degree of comfort. This means that the energy loss can be reduced by around 10-20% – which is both an economic and an environmental advantage.

Fast reacting electric floor heating system.

In comparison with water based floor heating, Danfoss floor warming systems are installed closer to the surface. This means that the heat will be released or cut off with practically no delay of time. Consequently, the Danfoss thermostat can control the room temperature very precisely to the benefit of both your comfort and your economy.

Danfoss electric floor heating products are distributed throughout Canada and the United States by Otter Creek and product can be purchased directly from the company website www.electric-heating-system.com
