Bottled gas is often referred to as "Blue Gas", "Calor Gas", "Camping Gas", and many more names. Most of these names are actually referring to some of the UK well known brand names of LPG; Blue Gas and Camping Gaz actually referring to the European gas supplier that is Camping Gaz, Calor Gas is the most well known supplier in the UK of bottled gas with butane and propane LPG sold under this name. It is worth noting though that there are countless other suppliers that produce and sell bottled gas in Sheffield. A few to mention are energas, flogas, altagas, and more well known for their industrial gases; BOC. 

Butane Bottled Gas Refills

Butane gas is commonly purchased in refill cylinders for use as a fuel for cooking and leisure purposes. Butane bottled gas is usually supplied in either a blue or mustard yellow coloured metal cylinder. It is used in camping, boating, and caravanning applications where its is generally used as a fuel for use with camping and cooking stoves, tilley type camping lights, barbeques, and portable fridges. 

If you are the owner of a Camping Gaz "Double Burner Grill" or a "Grillogaz" then you will need a bottle of butane gas to use one of these leisure appliances. 

One of the most popular LPG appliances that needs butane bottled gas is the common Calor Gas type mobile cabinet heater. In the UK all portable cabinet heaters run off a "standard" cylinder of butane gas. 

Immaterial whether this is a Calor, Camping Gaz, or flogas brand of cylinder of lpg, it will work when fitted to a mobile cabinet heater. * The only determining factor is that the correct size of gas regulator valve must be fitted to the cabinet heater. In the UK this will be of either 20mm or 21mm connection size.

Propane Bottled Gas Refills

Propane liquefied petroleum gas has different properties to butane. The most prominent being it's capability to burn at far lower temperatures than butane. This makes it more suitable for applications where a lower temperature operating point is needed. This could be for cooking purposes where the refill cylinders are stored outside at your Sheffield home, for use with powered equipment that is operated outdoors (such as lpg powered fork lift trucks), and for commercial and industrial uses such as when used for heating tar with road white lining and the re-roofing of felt covered roofs.

Propane bottled gas is also commonly used by operators of mobile catering trailers and vans. The catering units that pop up especially on Friday and Saturday nights in  Sheffield's City Centre are no exception. If you own or operate a "burger or chip van" then it;s most likely you will have a need for refill bottles of propane bottled gas.

Leisure Gas Refills

The name of "leisure gas" is what used to be referred to as "patio gas". In recent years "leisure gas" has become the name referred to for a certain mix of lpg that is used for a burnable fuel in patio heaters, several types of portable bbq's, and some outdoor camping / trekking stoves.

Leisure gas is freely available from several Sheffield bottled gas stockists, notably under either the Calor or flogas brand name.

What is leisure gas?

Depending on the brand, leisure gas is usually a "cocktail" mix of butane and propane gas sold in a particular size of refill cylinder. Unlike butane and propane bottled gas, Leisure / Patio gas usually requires the appliance to be fitted with a 27mm diameter size of gas regulator valve.

Industrial Heating Applications

A popular use of bottled gas is for use as a fuel for various types of heating applications. This could be for use as a fuel for providing heat in a garage paint shop spray oven or for use with a portable space heater.

The latter being especially popular during the cold Winter months that Sheffield experiences typically each year in the UK. Take a look inside any garage, industrial unit, or workshop in Sheffield during November, December, and January, and we are sure you will see what we mean. Most need an additional form of heating and look to a portable propane fired space heater to keep machinery and personnel warm.

Calor Gas Sheffield and Flogas Sheffield

The 2 main brands of LPG that you can find and buy in the city are Calor Gas and Flogas. Inside the individual bottles (cylinders) the actual gas is the same, it;s just in a slightly different cylinder and with a different brand name on it. 

It will make no difference whatsoever whether you use Calor or Flogas bottled gas on your appliance, its all about availability of the actual cylinder and where you need to buy your bottled gas from.

Stockists of these two brands vary from one town and city in the UK to another, you could travel say to Bakewell or Castleton on the outskirts of Sheffield and only find stockists that sell Calor Gas. Travel another few miles down the road over to say Buxton and all the camping shops and caravan site might only sell Flogas! It is just a case of learing which is the best brand of bottled gas in Sheffield for you to use and buy! 

If you live or work in Sheffield and use bottled gas (butane or propane) for use with a mobile cabinet heater or a space heater, it won't make much difference whether you decide to go for Calor or Flogas.

Family Holiday Apartment In Akbuk

When it comes to finding a family holiday apartment to rent in Akbuk you have several choices open to you when it comes to booking holiday accommodation in this lovely resort in Turkey.

Option No.1

The most expensive option is to choose to book through a UK travel agents holiday shop for an Apartment to suit your particular needs. This is because all travel agents work on a commission basis which makes the cost of renting an apartment through them more expensive than some of the other options you can go for. Think of a travel agent as a "middle man" and this should help you understand the overall position. Putting it simply when you arrange holiday accommodation through them - they take a cut! This is how they earn their wages or make their travel business profitable!

This option though appeals to a lot of UK tourists who prefer to book a package type holiday that includes flights as well as holiday accomodation. Some travellers prefer this method as it can be simpler than booking everything seperately which will be the case if you want to go for the cheaper money saving options that we feature below.

Option No.2

The second choice we mention here is to book a suitable family holiday apartment in Akbuk directly with one of the complex owners or operators. Although this Aegean coastline resort is undeveloped and relatively small in size, there are still quite a few apartment complexes you can choose to stay at here. Two popular family holiday apartment complexes in Akbuk are the "Seashells" and "Yasmin Gardens" complexes. Both offer good standards of accommodation for all sizes of families as well as having good general site amenities. At the time of writing both of these sites offer direct booking for several types and sizes of holiday apartments.

Please Note: When booking direct with a Turkish owner or complex developer - their "owned" apartments will usually be furnished to typical Turkish standards and contain fittings and furnishings in-line with their own tastes. These can sometimes be well down on UK holiday makers expectations as English standards are usually far superior to Turkish peoples standards. This does not mean that a Turkish owned apartment in Akbuk is sub standard or inferior, it just means it will be different and usually basically furnished in comparison to ones that are owned and operated by UK owners.

Option No.3

Consider booking an Akbuk Holiday Family Apartment direct with its UK owner!

This is usually the cheapest way to rent a family holiday apartment in Akbuk. In addition to saving money you will benefit by staying in an apartment that is equipped to a good high standard of quality and with furnishings inline with UK and standard European tastes.

UK owned Akbuk Holiday Apartments are generally decorated to a really high standard as well as featuring fittings and furnishings inline with what most UK residents expect. Think of air conditioning, a good sized fridge or fridge freezer in the kitchen area, adequate cooking facilities (usually a hob and microwave oven as a minimum), a dining area, a lounge with a TV and/or DVD player, and several good sized bedrooms and you should get the idea of what to expect!

Next think of them being located on a good site complex that has what you want close by and on-hand. Immediate thoughts are a convenience shop, a bar, and of course bathing areas with at least one swimming pool. Next could be close proximity to a beach, the restaurants, or local shops.

Most UK owned holiday apartments here are a "home from home" for their owners. UK owners take pride in furnishing them to a high standard with many choosing to keep them "just" for use for a few weeks a year during the traditional summer periods. This is where you can benefit!

Akbuk Holiday Apartments

The quiet resort of Akbuk in Turkey is one of the most unspoiled areas that you can choose to go to for a relaxing break.

Located on the Aegean coast line this recommended holiday resort offers a nice alternative to the usual busy nearby resorts of Altinkum and Didum. Akbuk has something to offer everyone but its real gem is the low key tourism that goes on here even during the peak summer holiday months.

Several things to do whilst on holiday in Akbuk, Turkey:

In Akbuk if you want to dine out you will find some great restaurants from ones offering simple traditional Turkish food through to ones that offer an International menu. Some now also serve Chinese as well as Indian dishes for those that wish to sample them.

Want to go on a boat trip? Akbuk harbour is home to countless boat owners and operators that offer everything from a simple cove trip through to a days deep sea fishing. Based right on the Turkish coastline this holiday resort is ideal for sea lovers.

If shopping is your thing then you must pay a visit to the weekly market that is held on the outskirts of Akbuk village centre. Locals as well as tourists can try their luck at bartering here - but watch out, the Turks are really good at it!

Do you fancy a hectic but fun day at a local water park? If so - just take the short bus or taxi ride to the nearby Altinkum Water Park. Be warned though this attraction gets very busy and crowded during the hottest summer months of July and August.

Relaxation and recharging your batteries; this holiday resort is ideal for tourists that wish to simply take it easy and go at a slow pace of life. You can have a leisurely stroll along the sea front at any time of day or night and simply do what pleases you. Why not just relax by a swimming pool at your accomodation whilst sipping a cold drink? Then take a quick snooze before getting ready to eat out at night. Or perhaps you prefer to just spend time in one of the Akbuk Holiday Apartments that you can rent in this resort. Many have very large balconies where you can sit out on and just let Turkish time go by. Rental apartments here are usually "owner operated" where you can be assured of a high quality accomodation for the duration of your stay. Being owned independently means you can save money on a holiday tour operators overall costs making an Akbuk Holiday quite affordable.

It is worth mentioning we feel that accommodation here is owned typically by either English (UK) or Turkish people. Because of this the internal decoration and furnishings of holiday apartments can vary tremendously.

Turkish owned apartments tend to be quite sparse in furnishings, English owned ones though tend to be traditionally furnished - and to a much higher standard!

Have a large party to accommodate for? Perhaps 5 or 6 people? if so consider the rental (or sometimes referred to as holiday letting) of a Duplex style apartment. These are normally on two or more separate floors featuring several bedrooms, a kitchen, at least one bathroom, and a lounge area for relaxing in.

Most holiday makers visiting Akbuk in Turkey choose a self catering accommodation, this gives them the freedom of doing as they please and when it suits them. You can rent an Akbuk Apartment in several complex sites in this Turkish resort. Two worth of mention are the "Sea Shells" and "Yasmin Gardens". 

Both have good swimming pools and grassed areas surrounding the apartments within, both are within a short walking distance (approx 30 minutes) to the quaint resort center itself.

Please Note:: As Akbuk is a really lovely place to stay it has become a resort where sometimes you can struggle to book an apartment and especially during the usual school holiday periods. An early booking is therefore advised to make sure you get an apartment in your chosen holiday site complex.
