Gaia install underfl oor heating for high-profi le developments


P


art of the wider regeneration of Watford, The Eight Gardens is a residential and commercial development from Berkeley


Homes, featuring studio, one and two-bedroom apartments surrounded by landscaped gardens and art installations. Due to Gaia’s long-standing relationship as a


trusted supplier for Berkeley Homes, they were asked to provide pricing for The Eight Gardens project (Block S3 and S6). The original design involved wet underfl oor


heating through Heat Interface Units with a gas energy plant room or air-source heat pumps. However, Gaia proposed using exclusively


electric underfl oor heating for the scheme. This would reduce the need for heat pumps and energy plant rooms, therefore lowering capital costs for the developer. Also, it would minimise maintenance costs for homeowners,


and provide quicker heat-up times. Following their proposal, Gaia managed


the entire electric underfl oor heating design and installation process. Their team levelled the structural slab with latex before installing thermal insulation boards and electric underfl oor heating systems, fi nished with a latex screed on top to achieve an SR1 fi nish. By delivering their services from design to


completion, Gaia provided a single point of accountability and streamlined the process for the client. This is just one case study within an


extensive portfolio of underfl oor heating projects Gaia has completed across London and the surrounding areas. The underfl oor heating experts worked with Telford Homes to deliver a customised

underfl oor heating specifi cation for the former Elizabeth Arden factory site - which is being transformed into a new mixed-use development, with the majority of space allocated to residential properties. Gaia provided the complete design,


installation and commissioning of wet underfl oor heating systems throughout the 374 apartments. Also, as part of a long-standing partnership


with Woodford Heating, Gaia provided full design, supply, installation and commissioning of Polypipe wet underfl oor heating systems for High Street Quarter in Hounslow – a £210 million scheme featuring 528 residential properties.
