Benchmark in sustainable
water heating solutions
42
The new Bosch 32C Commercial Condensing gas hot water
system is the only one of its kind in Australia.
Creating a new benchmark in sustainable, energy efficient
water heating, it is suitable for both commercial and domestic
use, where there is demand for large volumes of hot water.
The Bosch 32C boasts a 6-star energy rating, making it the
most efficient commercial gas hot water unit on the market.
The product’s edge is its unique condensing technology,
which creates a superior level of energy efficiency – more than
94 per cent. Unlike traditional hot water systems, it captures
waste heat from exhaust gas and uses it to preheat incoming
cold water. The effect is an energy saving of more than 15. 5
per cent, compared to a standard continuous flow commercial
system. “Choosing this system for a
commercial project is the equivalent
of taking one-and-a-half cars off the
road for an entire year, saving tonnes
of greenhouse gas emissions and major
dollars in terms of running costs,” says
Bosch National Commercial Manager James Smith.
The new product gives builders, architects, hydraulic
consultants and plumbers the opportunity to meet and exceed
the Australian Building Code Board’s latest energy efficiency
provisions, while reducing environmental impact and energy
costs for their clients.

No stress, no
mess with Blanco
Instant classic
for bathrooms
www.bcme.com.au
An oven that not only looks sleek and modern but cooks and
cleans itself at a touch of a button – that’s Blanco’s Pyrolytic
range of ovens. With one touch of a button, Blanco’s pyrolytic
technology uses high temperature to carbonise grease and
grit on the sides, base and roof of the oven. What’s left is a
light ash that can be simply wiped away with a damp cloth.
Pyrolytic cleaning comes with two options – the standard two-
hour clean or the one-and-a-half-hour ECO clean. Unlike other
models in the market, Blanco’s range have enamelled side
racking which can stay in the oven during the pyrolytic process.
Blanco’s BOSE6APX Platinum oven also has an auto cook
function that calculates the right amount of heat, time and
even shelf position to ensure perfect dishes every time.
The BOSE69PX ($2099) and the autocook/pyrolytic oven
combination model BOSE6APX ($2549) come with:
n 2 anti-tipping wire grids
n flat baking with grilling grid
n “flat” baking tray
n 2 enamelled wire side racks
n oven rotisserie
Australians are renovating their bathrooms more
often than ever before – on average every 17. 5
years compared to every 18. 6 years as recently
as 2008. One of the reasons behind this trend
is the wealth of innovative, designer bathroom
ware available from basins and baths to showers
and taps. Manufacturers have also turned their
attention to the more compact bathroom.
A stand-out example of this is the Harvard range
of tapware from Raymor – a versatile
collection destined to be an instant
classic with taps, spouts and
showerheads that introduce instant
style to bathrooms and ensuites.
Specifically designed for the space-saving wall-mounted
and hob-mounted basins (a growing trend), the
contemporary cross-handled design taps are mounted on
a semi-industrial backplate that is fixed to the wall.
With a WELS water rating of four stars (only 7. 5 litres per
minute), the brass construction taps have a bright chrome
finish and ceramic disc technology.
The Harvard range includes a hob-mounted basin
set plus bath and shower sets (the shower head is
a three star WELS rating using only seven litres
of water a minute) and wall-mounted
top assemblies that are ideal for clients who
choose to update the look without changing
spouts or showerheads.
