Veridical veneers

November 27, 2017

The ancient craft of veneering dates from time before the Pharaohs. It is not, as some people mistakenly imagine, a cheap way to gloss over poor workmanship or materials. Many fine examples of veneered work have endured hundreds and some even thousands of years. Who knew. Ye olde late 1600’s /early 1700’s cabinet makers employed methods of construction to ensure longevity through stable and well-balanced substrate and frame construction; and glued more valuable, more beautiful, and rarer woods on to them. Veneering...

The art of patination is a bewitching performance that presents extraordinary skill, only years of experience and an abundance of creativity can present. The surface finishes of Eskimo's Outline GONG radiators are a result of this beautiful art and offers you four stunning, unique brass or copper patina finishes, created by one of our 'Eskimo expert' teams. In the search for the best, we found Capisco who are incredible at what they do. They specialise in the patination of copper alloys, bronze, brass and...

Courier favour

Time, integrity, trust and reliability. A courier service can be like waiting for a flaky friend to maybe, just maybe, turn up on time and remember to bring the tickets for a final performance that won't be around again for another 6 months. Anxiety, frustration and disappointment ensue and these emotions are sadly almost always expected from a delivery. Along with additional time delays such as potential damage, if they even turn up at all when you've waited in all...

Design is one of the most powerful influences in our lives. Inspiring, empowering, enlightening. And whether we realise it or not, it's countless adroitly designed products, symbols and experiences flood our daily existence.  Our perceptions of the world are built on multiple senses. They interact to help us make sense of our surroundings, so a car will seem to be traveling faster if it makes a lot of noise. And whether we want to buy such a car, a vacuum cleaner...

What’s with radiators coming from hot countries?

Hot countries? Selling radiators? We live in a country that boasts around 190 million radiators, so what's with some of those coming from hot countries? Surely, with our erratic climate, we have more of an understanding to brief the design and engineering of a heating product? Well with big drops in temperatures at night, many hot countries that sell radiators are in the perfect position to understand what we need. Particularly having understood the natural progression from steel to aluminium - aluminium...

What's App? Feeling like you have too many passwords, codes, timers and pins associated with your home? Yeah me too. There's a solution though and it's home automation. Eskimo take time to find the right people, innovators are very important to us and technology is transformational. There is always a better way and what we've discovered is that most other home automated systems have a little something missing. Delta Dore's TYDOM system doesn't. Home automation is nothing new but what is...

Do you know where your radiator comes from?

Eskimo design & manufacture radiators and towel warmers in the UK. Birmingham in fact. People often find this surprising, because they don't come across many UK-manufactured products in their daily lives these days. The UK has quasi-dominant positions in only two large manufacturing sectors, namely pharmaceuticals and aerospace. But of course we have many niche producers spread over umpteen sectors in this Country and the UK is still the world's sixth-largest producer of manufactured goods apparently. We're happy to be...
