The SS80 kitchen heater is the latest version of Smith’s Fan Convectors’ Space Saver plinth heater to fit 80mm plinth heights. It is suitable for installations where plinths are narrow, such as those found in kitchen designs from Scandinavia and Germany.
Like its taller counterparts, installing the SS80 will help to free up wall space for extra wall surfaces and more storage and appliances.
The heater installs discreetly into the dead space under fitted units and is now supplied as standard with a stainless steel grille, as well as being available in alternative finishes. The product is suitable for heating rooms up to 24m3 and could also provide an alternative heat solution for bedrooms and office furniture that also have plinths. It uses a low water content when compared with a radiator, so it will heat up much more quickly than both radiators and underfloor heating, as well as affording users more responsive controls.
Jim Bennett, Smith’s Sales & Marketing Director, says: “The Space Saver is a key appliance for the new build and RSL markets, as well as for the consumer. It offers efficient, controllable warmth to kitchens where space is at a premium. Installers can use it to replace a radiator and, because it will work off any wet central heating system, it’s a simple replacement that gives so much more to the end user.”
