Isn't is lovely to arrive at the office on a freezing winter morning to find the the office is beautifully toasty warm?

MBA Office Furniture have partnered with Pureheat to provide a select range of heaters specifically selected based on them being ideal for the small to medium sized office.

We often have clients saying that they have popped out to the local big box retailer and bought a little fan heater that is placed under the desk and turned up full blast. You can almost hear the electricity meter going into overload.

Pureheat Office Heaters are specifically deisigned to recycle cool air into warm and through the use of the easy to use thermostat will only power up when the temperature drops below the specified level. This means, in the average office, and based on the appropriate heater being selected, the Pureheat Office Heaters will only actually be operating for 50% of the time of your little fan heater. Right away this leads to significant power savings.

And by slecting one of our models with the timer feature, you can set the timer to come on, say, 30 minutes before you arrive at work. Then by the time you arrive your office will be beautifully toasty warm. How lovely.

MBA Office Furniture offer 4 models of the Pureheat Office Heaters

• PH075 - designed for offices approximately 7.5sq mtr
• PH075T - designed for offices approximately 7.5sq mtr WITH TIMER
• OEP24W - designed for offices up to 24sq mtr
• OEP24TW - designed for office up to 24sq mtr WITH TIMER

But Electric Heaters cost a fortune to run, I hear you say.

That's absolutely right, if you have a little dinky fan heater. The Pureheat Office Heaters are specifically designed to be economical to run along with being silent. In fact, based on the right heater being chosen, the Pureheat Office Heaters can cost as little as 5c per hour to operate.

How do I pick the right heater for your office?

Electric office heating is not an expensive option if you make the right choice of heater. Although there are a lot of variables, you can use the following general "rule of thumb".

To maintain an office with average office furnishings and a standards insulated 2.4m ceiling at 20 Deg C, you will need approximately 1kw for every 10 square metres of floor area.

To make it even easier, click on our handy we have this HANDY HEATER SELECTOR.

Many people think that a Lateral Filing Cabinet is related to a Lateral Filing System, with special files, a compactus unit or Tambour Door Cupboard and special labelling system.

A Lateral Filing Cabinet is actually a very space efficient alternative to the traditional Vertical Filing Cabinet.

In a Lateral Filing Cabinet, suspension files, or hanging files, are normally arranged side by side rather than front to back, as in a traditional vertical filing cabinet. This makes the files much easier to access. In essence, a Lateral Filing Cabinet is like having 2 Vertical Filing Cabinets side by side, but in the 1 unit. The great advantage though is that you save around 35cm in space. This is particularly important in small or crowded offices.

We often find Lateral Filing Cabinets are popular in the following business types:

• Medical Surgeries

• Hospitals

• Legal Firms

• Schools

• Office where space is of a premium.

Lateral Filing Cabints come in 2,3 and 4 drawer options, are OH & S approved and come with Anti Tilt Mechanisms that prevent multiple drawers being open at the same time for improved safety.

While the 4 drawer model is the most popular, we often find the 2 drawer is also very useful for the dual purpose of filing and a handy bench top for the fax, printer or other office equipment.
