Glamorous heating: Aqualine
Awareness of energy efficiency and healthy living environments is growing, with these two factors being considered a priority for many new home builders and those renovating.
Creating an even climate using good temperature control is an integral part of achieving a healthier and more comfortable home, which is even more important if you have young children or elderly people living there.
The effects of dampness and mold are well-documented in New Zealand, and are common causes of respiratory illnesses.
Underfloor heating has been a common heating solution for decades in many other countries and is becoming more popular in New Zealand, and with good reason.
Locally, leading the charge for underfloor heating and all the benefits that go with it, using technology designed for living in the 21st century, is Aqualine Products.
Healthy for home and budget
Aqualine’s UPONOR underfloor hydronic heating solution will keep your home warm and comfortable year-round. Underfloor hydronic heating is a slow-release radiant floor heat bank, providing uniform temperature throughout your home. These radiant heat systems are aligned with the ‘optimum heat curve’ as defined by the heating industry, making it the most economically efficient means of heating living spaces and bathrooms.
Continuous comfort at minimum cost and maximum efficiency
The hydronic central heating system is clean, safe and zero-allergen, operating at low water temperatures – keeping power bills to a minimum. Using the thermal mass of the concrete floor slab, the heat transfer delivers optimum comfort at much lower temperatures, reducing over-heating. Incorporating hydronics, underfloor heating with a high-efficiency condensing boiler reduces running costs with up to 20 percent savings on gas bills.
Installation for new builds and renovations
If you are renovating a home with floor tiles, floorboards or carpet, there will be at least one method suitable for installing underfloor heating. For new builds, there is the option of laying the system down and pouring the concrete slab to secure it in position. For the perfect climate you can feel but not see, an underfloor trench heating system is the discreet and effective way to heat your home. The Jaga Mini Canal Eco Trench convectors are easy to install and virtually invisible after installation. They will fit into your architectural plans with no need for compromise and are perfect for homes with floor to ceiling windows, large sliding doors or limited wall space.
Let Aqualine Products introduce you to the clean, silent world of hydronic heating.
