The Lock

Dandara has earned a reputation for the provision of high quality homes. The installation of DEVI underfloor heating at The Lock Building in Manchester meant that radiators could be dispensed with to achieve both maximum space and a clean, unobstructed look. Electric underfloor heating is maintenance-free and also offers more comfortable warmth than alternative radiator systems.

Devifelx DSIG-20 cables were used at The Lock Building in conjunction with Devireg 710 and Devireg 550 thermostats. Thanks to optimal thermal positioning in the screed and a precise temperature control system, the average room temperature can be reduced by 1-2ºC, compared with traditional radiator heating, without influencing the thermal comfort level. This means that the energy loss can be reduced by between 10-20%, which is both economically and environmentally beneficial.

Mike Hitchmough, Principal Architect of Dandara, comments: "Underfloor heating aligned itself with the quality and uncluttered environment that we were seeking. We were also looking for a system where the initial capital cost met our budget and avoided any ongoing maintenance or reliability issues"
