One recent Ecoflap good news story that has come to light is that of a certain Close, that we won’t name as they don’t want publicity.

One avant garde resident bought an Ecoflap and fitted it to their door.

So pleased with the draught free, noiseless result were they, that  they passed on the good news to their neighbours.

They in turn each bought their own Ecoflap and passed on the good news further.

Soon the entire Close had been fitted with Ecoflaps and to help complete the process, Richard Jessel, the Inventor of Ecoflap along with help from Mike Munday turned up to help install the last ones.

We think this is the first 100% Ecoflap Close. If you know better or you have an Ecoflap Street, let us know and you could win £100 to your chosen charity.

Since Ecoflaps have been flying out to customers faster than ever, Ecoflap sent Mike flying out to meet our manufacturing partner to increase our production capacity without compromising quality.

That is something Ben Pang, from OnTeck Industries Ltd, who produce our precision plastics for us, has helped us do brilliantly. Thanks Ben!

We care very much that our product works well. To achieve that we require accurate and consistent reproduction of all parts and surfaces. We have always worked to improve and deliver a real working product that customers will enjoy and benefit from owning and never have to worry about once fitted.

We have now caught up with all our back orders and will now be able to meet demand for Christmas and beyond.

Being able to meet this increased demand and even improve on the Ecoflap performance means our growing success will retain its sweet flavour.

Thanks to our customers and Ben, we look forward to a 2012 filled with new advances and product ideas built on design and quality not just quantity.

In line with the development and growth of Ecoflap and Jessel Innovations, our existing business structure has had to evolve to meet the new challenges and opportunities.

We have all enjoyed the red-hot weather in September and October 2011 but the coming winter is predicated to be super cold.

Saving energy and keeping warm on a budget, even in an older house, are part of Nigel’s mission to keep us all safe from the coming freeze.

Ecoflap working well to keep Fiona warm!

First off he attacks the big hole in Fiona’s house, the letterbox, and as expected he fits the best solution around our Ecoflap.

The result? Instantly the house feels warmer!

Next he worked on improving the effectiveness of radiators using low power fans and heat reflectors.

Following that using a simple double glazing film and a hair dryer he produces near invisible extra draught protection for old windows.

Eventually tracking down remaining draughts around doors and stopping them with excluders to seal around them.

Ending the attack on draughts with wooden floor board gap filler to discreetly seal them too.

Everything, including the Ecolfap all came in at a cost of £101.84 from Nigel’s Eco Store.

Jessel Innovations Ecoflap delighted to receive the prestigious ‘Industry Excellence Award’ from Building and Facilities News

Anne Jessel (pictured) said that Ecoflap was fast becoming a well known and trusted brand.

The public response at exhibitions like the National Housing Federation Exhibitions, Home Improvements Show, Grand Designs Show and Ecobuild have consistently shown that the product has a unique place in a market largely still stuck in the 1840s.

Nearly all other letter plates can adversely affect thermostatic controls, directly lose heat, create noise, let in rain, trap & damage post or injure delivery personnel. Ecoflap solves these problems with innovative thought and clever design and can do so without losing the aesthetic presentation you want for your door.

It is that innovation that led Building and Facilities News to present us with the Industry Excellence Award. Richard Jessel said ‘It is great to get this level of recognition from industry. We have worked hard to make Ecoflap a success, but without the interest and support of the buying public we could not have come so far so fast.’

The next products which build on this tradition of innovation are for the other forgotton draughty hole in the wall – pet flaps. Petway, will be bringing the same level of quality and design to ensure noiseless, secure, draughtfree access for pets.

Maggie visited Ecoflap for three hours on Wednesday 20th during BBC Radio Berkshire’s Andrew Peach Show.

The list of Richard’s inventions is long and very varied, from Canal boat systems for the French government to biofeedback systems and bomb detectors powered by the world service. We know head-spinning conversations with prolific inventors such as Richard can be exhausting. Sorry!

Yet, with decades of inventing condensed into just three hours the Ecoflap stood out to her experienced mind as the most likely commercial invention to succeed.

She listed the key problems for inventors as not just needing financial capital but also a collection of other business skills to get their products to market. Getting a team of people together to make things focused and successful. They are things we at Ecoflap understand all too well.

We are always open to ideas to take Ecoflap further and to help develop it and other Jessel Innovation products. So if you think you have the skills or other capital to offer Ecoflap then please do get touch with us here.

If not, but you would still like to support great British innovation, all you need do is spend £20 and we will send you a brilliant design classic of the future.

Oh and if you’d like to catch Maggie and Richard on iPlayer over the next few days, visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p00hwbzw

Maggie’s own site is here http://www.maggiephilbin.com – Thanks for coming to see us Maggie, we very much enjoyed it.

The main trade magazine for door & window fabricators and installers has a feature explaining the major benefits of Ecoflap to the UK industry.

We are delighted to see Ecoflap being recognized and supported by an increasing number of companies and energy saving bodies in the UK but in one way we are not surprised.

Ecoflap embodies the main concerns everyone has in tough times, it saves money, energy and take virtually no time to fit.

Jessel Innovations release the new standard format for the Ecoflap.

Using the real world experiences of our customers to make the brilliant Ecoflap even better we are proud to announce the Ecoflap EX.

It is hard to improve on the Ecoflap but we think we have managed to do that with just three new enhancements in design.

• First the new look is smooth and sleek with no ribbing on the back plate, we have done away with the need for it.
• The plate now has a full depth aluminium insert to ensure rigidity of flap even against extreme weather conditions.
• The flap surface now has a rubberised over moulding on mating surfaces which provides an even better seal and quieter closing under all conditions.
