The outside floodlights offer high power light beams which can be flexibly adjusted to deliver carefully directed surface lighting for large objects.

Our extremely attractive pendulum reflector lamps are also of particular interest in this area &#8211; with a stainless steel core for inside and outdoor applications in areas with aggressive humidity levels. 

They are particularly well suited to lighting applications in open lobbies and passages as well as inside rooms like greenhouses and swimming pools.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[The Big Green EggÂ® looks different from other grills, but that's just the beginning. It is different, in nearly every way, with extraordinary cooking capabilities beyond those of
any other type of grill at any price.

Unique can be an overused word, but that's precisely what The Big Green Egg is, in appearance, construction and performance. Ceramic, rather than metal, surrounds the food. Various clay mixtures were used for cooking almost since the discovery of fire.
Cooking in clay has long been known to provide wonderful results, ensuring that the food is juicy and flavorful. But the space-age ceramic used in the EGGÂ® today is actually a
vast improvement over the ancient clay kamados.

Traditional Design, Space-Age Technology:
The insulation qualities of the modern ceramics used in Big Green Eggs enable moisture and flavor retention unachievable with any type of metal cooker. That same insulation adds to Big Green Egg safety, as the external surface never reaches the heat levels of metal cookers, thus chances of burns are minimized. The thick ceramic walls retain, circulate and radiate heat so evenly that a rotisserie is never needed to get perfectly cooked meals.
The high-grade ceramics are also extremely durable, and will last through literally tens of thousands of cooking occasions.
The EGG fires up quickly, using pure, low-ash natural lump charcoal, and works its cooking magic in less time than the fastest gas grill.

The EGG is now known and sold in 20 countries. Its simplicity of use and safe operation make it as suitable for your backyard as for a gourmet restaurant. It gives new meaning to the term &#8220;low maintenance&#8221;, and can be your cooking partner for life.

                    <guid><![CDATA[http://news.archiexpo.com/press/leveable-sarl/the-lifting-pool-floor-rises-to-the-occasion-60073-4459.html]]></guid>
                    <description><![CDATA[The movable pool floor owes its strength of character to the subtle interplay of wood and steel, design and engineering. 
It helps to create a practical, aesthetically appealing and, above all, safer living environment.
Intelligent space management
Blends in with your decoration scheme.

1 - Structure
The structure is made of rectangular tubes that are assembled and welded in the factory. These elements are then assembled on site and bolted together to form a framework. The finishing covering is then attached to the assembled structure. 
This process allows the equipment to be transported and assembled on-site more easily.   

2 - Mounting points 
The mounting points, which are linked to the drive system by cables and pulleys, support and guide the cables along the path between the supports and the drive system.    

3 - Cable supports
The cable supports fitted underneath the structure, hold the cables in position along the inside wall of the pool, and allow the level to be adjusted when the movable floor is installed. 

4 - Stabilisers
The stabilisers positioned at intervals along the length of the structure are used to adjust and centre the movable floor.
They prevent the floor from swinging from side to side when in a raised or intermediate position. 
They form the interface between the drive system and the movable floor. 

5 - Drive system
The drive system uses a worm gear and sealed gearbox to pull the cables to which the floor is attached. The cables guide the path followed by the anchor disk as it moves horizontally. The length of the worm gear matches the depth of the pool up to the coping boards.
Sealed limit switches stop the floor's movement when it reaches the surface or the bottom of the pool. The drive system is controlled by a control unit that enables the platform to be stopped at the desired height.

6 - Adjustable feet
The feet located at intervals below the structure prevent vertical oscillation and stabilise the floor when the system is lowered to the bottom of the floor.

7 - Inspection hatch
An inspection hatch provides access for a cleaning robot to clean the pool bottom, or to allow servicing by a maintenance technician.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Intro
The EX/TC access panel is designed for use in suspended ceilings that consist of a clip-in metal tile and spring tee system.

Construction
Constructed by converting Burgess, Armstrong or other metal pan ceiling tiles into a hinged access unit, and is secured using a budget lock. Other locks are available upon request. The panel door uses the back of the spring tee section as an anchor to support the hinge system. This panel can support more than one tile. For multi-tiled panels it is advisable to contact our technical department.

Fitting
The slotted hinge brackets are designed to clamp loosely onto the top of the spring tee section on the side to be hinged. Correctly align the panel in the ceiling aperture, then tighten the hinge brackets. When closing the access panel use the budget lock key as a handle; swing the door upwards on the hook hinge as far as possible without touching the ceiling, then slide the door backwards toward the hinge side. The panel will then be in the correct position to be locked over the tee section.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[   Normal air to water heat pump need a huge water tank to accumulate the hot water.  After the heat pump make the hot water,  they need to keep the water temp with coils and electric heater inside water tank. Acutally this make big energy loss and low efficiency.

   Our patent recirculation heat pump technology is originally from our Spain shareholder. With smart design, it enable us to use slim water tank without any coils or electric heater inside.  The water tank temp is reserved always by heat pumps. 
   Before the DHW go out for shower, it will go through the heat pump plate heat exchanger first. This will increase the water tank about 5-7 centigrade.  During the shower, 1/3 of hot water go out for shower, 2/3 of hot water will go to the DHW water tank again.  This technology will make the water tank temp drop very slowly and make user feel comfortable.   It can also save big room space for end user. 

    From this point, our recirculation heat pump is the real heat pump. The whole system efficiency is much more improved than coil water tank system.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Not just another pretty picture...

It is our opinion that SkyCeilings are not just pretty pictures. They are not just innovative or stylish design elements. In the deepest sense, they are not even about the sky.

We like to think that our SkyCeilings are a technology &#8211; an artistic technology &#8211; whose purpose is to introduce the power and purity of nature into interior environments. 

In &#8220;Ode on a Grecian Urn&#8221; John Keats concludes by telling us, &#8220;Beauty is truth, truth beauty, &#8211; that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.&#8221; At the Sky Factory it is our belief that by delivering the full beauty of the sky, we can deliver truth &#8211; the profound inner truth of nature. 

Why are we focused on the beauty of the sky? Click here to read the complete Art, Technology and Sky Factory SkyCeilings&#8482; -http://www.theskyfactory.com/files/Art_Technology_and_Sky_Factory_SkyCeilings.pdf 
 
Are you getting the most out of your SkyCeiling?

Your SkyCeiling or Luminous Virtual Window installation is a beneficial and distinguishing addition to your environment. It provides a beautiful and relaxing feature for those occupying the space &#8211; why not let everyone know about it?

The McCreery Cancer Center in southeast Iowa uses an impressive image of their 10'x10' linear accelerator Luminous SkyCeiling in marketing materials and public advertising. They clearly show that their facility is not only state of the art in terms of technology and design, but also state of the art in terms of their concern for patient comfort.

Gazprom, the world's largest natural gas extractor and Russia's largest company, finished construction of the Gazprom Clinic in Astrakhan in 2008. The modern medical complex includes a 230 bed hospital and outpatient clinic for the historic Russian city near the Caspian Sea. 

Client and designer wanted the entry hall to reflect Gazprom's corporate style and, at the same time, convey a concern for visitors' health and comfort. The use of natural objects and references to nature helped achieve this goal. 

Sky Factory Luminous SkyCeilings, displaying large expanses of blue sky and white clouds, helped achieve the health goals by providing realistic illusions of skylights that foster relaxation and comfort for visitors.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[WWTP AS-VARIOcomp K is used for activation aerobic treatment of wastewater from objects which are not convenient or even possible to be connected to the local sewage system. 

WWTP AS-VARIOcomp K is used for treatment of sewage wastewater from houses, residental localities, tourists resorts, hotels, car-campings, etc. with number from 3 to 25 population equivalents.

By 15 years of existence of the company, our production plants have produced more than 3000 treatment plants of various types and designs with the brand of ASIOGROUP or those produced for foreign companies. 

We have had the opportunity to prove various design and technological solutions and their influence on effectivity and reliability of whole operation. 

AS-VARIOcomp K is a representative of those selected design and technological solutions which should lead, thanks to their simplicity, to most troublefree operation. 

The aim of reserch has been the simpliest design, the most stable process and the least operational requirements.

AS-VARIOcomp K 5 - ROTO technology - !!! NEW !!!

The roto-moulding is a rather new technology which dates back to 1940Â´s. However, it was not until 1980Â´s and 90Â´s that this technology started to be used in a wider range, first in North America and later in Europe. Recently, there emerged a number companies also in Eastern Europe that process plastics in this way. In newly joined EU-countries, there were cca 25 such producers. We joined this group one year later. From this technology we expect in particular simplification a and more exact production, elimination of human factor mistakes, and production of seamless tanks without inner residual tension.

Advantages of this technology for customers:
easier manipulation due to smaller weight
increase of static load capacity
more favourable price of selected products
higher resistance against mechanical damage
self-supporting design that neednÂ´t be concrete encased]]></description>

The CARIOCA collection, available in chair, high stool and deckchair, displays fine engravings to highlight its sensual curves. The form of the back chair, oblong and singular, recalls the sugarloaf sheltered by the city of Rio, of which the chair has taken the name from.
The Carioca chair is particularly remarkable conceptually and aesthetically since its seems to fly in the air, as its back foot has been made discreet by a set of blind spots.
The whole collection Carioca is available in PMMA transparent and crystalline for an indoor use. It is also available in white PMMA which allows to extend its use outside, in terraces and gardens.

                    <description><![CDATA[Once again, the stimulating and captivating interaction between GLASS - interpreter of contemporary wellness - and the young designer Claudia Danelon has been further enriched by an innovative interpretation of the bathroom. Beyond: a project that goes beyond the imagination, shaping the visible and the real and fashioning spaces to send bathroom design down new paths and create new emotions promoting wellbeing.
A revolution that veers away from a standardized view of bathroom use in favour of a compositional freedom that reflects and bows to the tastes of those who embrace a contemporary lifestyle.
Originally from Udine in Italy's Northeast, Claudia Danelon now resides in the UK where she works with a well-known architecture & design studio. The designer has come up with an unprecedented combination of different materials ranging from the natural, rounded, almost egg-like shapes of the bathtub and shower tray, both in PietraluceÂ®, to the architectural rationality of a self-supporting monolith, with its boxy, square appearance and cladding that can be freely chosen to give it an individual stamp. Thus these elements combine in an architectural mix that turns the bathroom into an avant-garde living room.
Beyond is a collection of bathtubs (Beyond Bath) and shower cabins (Beyond Shower) that break traditional moulds to venture into the realm of design and compositional freedom, striking a new balance between forms and materials for the most demanding consumer. 
The unique structure of the Beyond Bath monolith, which can be clad with an endless array of materials and finishes, provides for a range of installation options &#8211; free-standing as an alternative to corner, wall-mounted or niche - and gives the utmost freedom when it comes to customizing the unit and making it fit in with its surroundings. 
Beyond Shower interprets the shower area with a shower tray in PietraluceÂ®, available in matt white or black, a shower enclosure made from 8mm-thick tempered clear glass and, to house the working parts of the shower, a wall-mounted monolith block that can be clad with different materials and finishes to blend in impeccably with the structure, shape and function of the surroundings. Beyond Shower is made for corner installation.
With Beyond, the bathroom is once again an innovative space, with truly exclusive touches of class. The hub of the home. An extraordinary, ideal place where the buzzword is harmony.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[A bench that immediately attracts attention, seems to move and is surprisingly comfortable. Designer Ruud-Jan Kokke explains. &#8220;I don't want the bench to wrong-foot people, but to get them off on the right foot instead. People should be aware of the chair or bench that they are sitting on. The Ahrend 601 makes this happen &#8211; people see and experience its anomalous design straight away.&#8221; 

&#8220;I am interested in materials. In their impossibilities, but in their possibilities above all. This bench is made of compressed wood, which enables the unusual curves and turns. 
I had originally designed a straight version, but it was too static. So I thought, &#8220;It needs movement in it&#8221; and made it slope. Something happens then &#8211; you get so much more besides. It's a great contrast, because the bench is for sitting on, but the bench itself looks like it's walking!&#8221;

The Ahrend 601 is also available as stools and tables; in the same style, but in different dimensions. The basic material for the Ahrend 601 is beech, which can also be supplied in a special weatherproof version made by a patented process that impregnates the wood with a solution. The modified material is called BelmadurÂ® and it is as durable as teak, twice as hard as oak and resistant to fungi. BelmadurÂ® feels like normal wood and it can be normally handled, varnished or stained. The Ahrend 601 is also available in beautiful aluminium - lightweight, durable and distinctive.

Both the beech and BelmadurÂ® versions are available in a clear lacquer finish or seven colours of stain, i.e. grey, black, red, ivory, green, turquoise or blue. The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests in Europe (PEFC certificated) and the product is consistent with Ahrend's Corporate Social Responsibility strategy as a consequence.

Applications
The Ahrend 601 can shine in countless places &#8211; in museums and other public areas, but definitely at home as well. The extensive choice of colours makes this a product that can be widely used in a variety of interior styles. The BelmadurÂ® version of the Ahrend 601 can also be used outside, in gardens, courtyards and squares for example. Places where the Ahrend 601 can be seen include the town hall in Arnhem and the recently renovated Ahrend flagship store in Amsterdam-Zuidoost, which will be opened in style this autumn.]]></description>
