Thermo-Floor Install At Walsall Hospital
Thermo-Floor has recently worked on the £170 million redevelopment of Manor Hospital in Walsall, installing underfloor heating in the Atrium, Cafe area and the Streets. The extensive hospital redevelopment is due to be finished in 2011 and will boast state of the art facilities.
Glynn Jones, Business Development Executive from Thermo-Floor explains: “We were bought on board by Skanska – who have been responsible for the design, construction and hard facilities management – to install 1300m² of underfloor heating into two communal areas of the hospital. Ideal for large open spaces which could prove more difficult to heat with a traditional central heating system, floor heating uses radiant heat evenly across the complete floor, allowing you to experience warmth at a lower air temperature resulting in a positive effect on the humidity of the room. Also, as the entire system is concealed within the floor fabrication it allows complete freedom of design, another massive benefit of the system”.
“Traditional central heating systems are simply not as effective for this type of space. Next generation energy efficient heating and cooling solutions are growing in popularity as give Designers, Engineers, Specifiers and Architects the solution that meets the requirements of today’s market.”
