De-mistifying the bathroom
The new EC driven 150mm Through wall Extractor Fan (FV159-EC) from Weiss ticks the boxes for performance and style, while keeping the Council happy along the way. Complete with a cowl outlet for additional weatherproofing, most bathrooms can be effectively exhausted with the high air movement rates (340m3/hr or 94.4L/sec) and look good doing it. As a complete kit, with expandable ducting the unit is suitable for 90- 300mm deep wall cavities.
For simplicity of installation, sometimes an inlet fan is the perfect answer. Weiss’ new EC Driven 150mm In-Ceiling Extractor Kit (FV161- EC) covers the bases for simplicity and performance (340m3/hr or 94.4L/ sec) and also ticks the box for the Council! Supplied complete with fixed outlet and 3 metres of 150mm flexible ducting, the system is suitable for most bathrooms. The low-profile inlet and accessible fan make retrofits and maintenance a breeze.
Both new products come with a five year warranty.

How to be water-wise
Yates’ new Waterwise products will keep the garden growing through heat stress or lack of water – or both.
Yates Soil Wetter reduces water usage by helping water penetrate through hard baked soils to the plants’ roots. Plus, it improves soil condition and fertility and, with added seaweed and trace elements, promotes healthy growth. The easy to use 1 litre concentrate is ideal for watering cans while the 2 litre hose-on formula is perfect for use on lawns, gardens and pots.
Yates Drought Shield increases plant survival during dry periods by protecting them from heat, water loss, drying winds, sunburn
and droughts, as well as light frost and transplant shock, by forming
a protective biodegradable film to help slow down transpiration of plants, allowing you to water less often and prevents water loss by up to 50%.
Yates Water Storage Crystals prevent soil drying out and improve soil aeration and drainage. When added to potting mix or garden soil, the crystals absorb up to 400 times their own weight in water which
is then released back to the plants over time as they require it. The crystals reduce water wastage, increase the time between waterings and promote improved plant survival during dry times. The crystals are effective for up to five years, then biodegrade harmlessly.

Easy entry with security
The Schlage Ease S2 Smart Entry Lock with built-in lever was designed to provide a simple digital lock solution without a separate lever or pull handle, while the Schlage Ease S1 Smart Deadbolt is an ideal retrofit to upgrade from a mechanical deadbolt and installs with a screwdriver.
Schlage Ease pairs with the simple to use
Schlage Abode mobile app, allowing the
convenience of a smartphone to program access
codes and control the lock: you can create up to 20 user codes, program access for permanent or temporary visitors and receive notifications on your smartphone when the lock has been accessed.
An additional accessory, the Schlage Wi-Fi Bridge (AB100), can be purchased to provide remote access and control of Schlage Ease Smart Locks. By pairing your lock to the Wi-Fi Bridge, this allows control of your Schlage Ease lock from wherever you are.
