Lewis Deck to The Old Post Office, Brockhall Village
Plot 1, The Old Post Office, Brockhall Village is a self build home for a director of a local construction company.
We were contacted, in September 2016, by a very enthusiastic individual who had used Lewis Deck previously on a commercial project in the Bolton area of Lancashire.
After seeing how easy it was to install and then how the underfloor heating performed in conjunction with the Lewis Deck he told himself that when he built his new home that finally he had found the perfect solution to the problem of an efficient heating system to upper floors.
With also getting the added benefit of solid floors, that won’t ever squeak or creak, and much better sound reduction properties he ordered the Lewis and had it delivered in the same week.
Lewis Deck to Bellwood Park, Perth
We were asked to initially advise on potential solutions for creating an underfloor heating system to the upper floor of the property at Bellwood Park. As it was in a remote location and off the grid for mains gas the house was to be heated by a heat pump and so efficiency was a major consideration on the project.
Lewis Deck, working with Gyvlons anhydrite screeds, is able to work more efficiently than most other upper floor systems on the market as the thin screed and steel deck work in conjunction with each other to emit more heat from the floor and faster. Because of this the heat pump was able to heat the floor using less energy than with other systems and so was ideal for this project.
The Lewis Deck was laid in less than two days, the underfloor heating pipes were put down in 2 days just ahead of the screed pour – using a clip rail system and Lewis pipe clips. The screed was poured in one day and ready to walk on within 48 hours. So the whole system was installed and ready for the next stage of works in less than 7 days.
