Electric floor heating for multi-unit developmentsThere has been a significant increase in the demand and popularity of 'lock-up-and-go" units and town home living in Australia. Along with practical and secure homes, the popular lifestyle choice has seen an emerging trend of electric floor heating being used in new builds and renovations. Modern layouts tend to suffer from a lack of space. When it comes to heating the bathrooms and home, freestanding heaters and fireplaces are not suited as they clutter the floor and restrict the amount of floor space available. Wall mounted heaters often interfere with decor and furniture positioning. The practical choice lies with electric floor heating.Since electric floor heating is situated beneath the floor, it maximizes the space in units and town homes, allowing for interesting and creative interior layouts. Heating systems such as Speedheat are suited for new builds and renovations. Speedheat floor heating requires no plumbing (as with water heating systems) or casting cables into slabs or cement toppings (as with in slab and in screed). The 1mm heating element is positioned on top of the sub floor directly beneath the floor finish - and does not raise or affect existing floor levels. The rise in popularity of multi-unit developments has also seen an upsurge in the use of tiles and laminate flooring. Electric floor heating can be used beneath a number of different floor finishes, including stone, tile, carpet and timber laminates. The modern and usable heating system is installed out of sight (with a controller mounted on any wall), offering complete control of temperature within the unit at the touch of a button. Being versatile, practical and aesthetically pleasing, electric floor heating has proven to be Australia’s choice for new and renovation apartments. |
