UNDERFLOOR HEATING
Underfloor heating offers a luxurious heating solution with its radiant warmth evenly spread across your living space. The hard floors feel pleasantly warm, creating a tranquil atmosphere without any disruptive airflow, ensuring complete silence.
The system is discreetly installed out of sight and, unlike traditional radiators or external heat pumps, it does not occupy wall space, making it particularly suitable for expansive open-plan layouts or homes with abundant glazing. This underfloor system can be powered by geothermal heat pumps or boilers that run on gas, diesel, or wood, providing versatile options. Additionally, its cost-effective operation compared to other electric radiant systems has contributed to the growing popularity of warm-water underfloor heating among New Zealand homeowners.
Below is a list of underfloor heating options
Kiwi Inslab
The Kiwi Inslab underfloor system is most commonly used in a new builds or during extensive renovations. Underfloor pipe is tied to the reinforcing mesh in the construction slab and allows for a quick installation.
VarioComp
VarioComp is a lightweight underfloor heating system suitable for both new construction and retrofits in existing homes. The system features pipes that are embedded within a reinforced gypsum board panel, which is then filled with screed to eliminate voids and create a smooth surface ready for leveling compounds or flooring options.
Spreader Plates
The Spreader Plate underfloor system can be used in new or existing homes. The aluminum spreader plates are fitted between the joists allowing for the pipe to be pressed into the spreader plate.
EziMix
EzyMix European style screed underfloor system can be used in new or existing homes. Pipes are clipped to a high-density insulation base which sits on top of the construction slab, then a self-leveling EzyMix solution is then laid on the polystyrene covering the pipes.
