As we have travelled more, bed bugs have found their way back into our houses and apartments. Alongside pesticides, high temperatures generated by fan heaters have become an efficient and humane method of eradicating the bugs.

Mountain ranges tend to obstruct rain clouds, resulting in one side of the mountain being cold and damp, and the other side being hot and dry.

Open plan, high ceilings and large windows with a view. These are properties that many look for both in general premises and in their own living rooms. Words such as modern, spacious and open are in fashion among today's architects.

A CFD-analysis (Computational Fluid Dynamics) conducted by Mechartés has concluded that installing an air curtain from Frico would significantly reduce the exchange of air-conditioned air from the inside and hot air from the outside. The results show great energy and economic savings as well as an improved indoor climate.
