In order to maximise the contemporary interior of the Threshing Barn the clean lines and uncluttered vistas through the three dimensional spaces could not be compromised. The extreme roof height and vastly differing room sizes require a heating system which is both sensitive and efficient whilst being totally unobtrusive.

Heat profiles of warm water underfloor heating show how it concentrates warmth in the parts of the room used by people not unused areas up in the eaves, making it an efficient, ideal choice for any large, open space and rooms with high ceilings. At the other end of the scale, small rooms can be used to their maximum advantage as there is no restriction on where to place furniture.

The individual room control advocated means that heat can be provided where and when it is wanted. In the Threshing Barn hidden sensors were supplied by Smart Controls.

In this property underfloor heating has been used with several different types of floor covering. It is suitable for use with stone, ceramics, wood - both solid and laminate, and good quality carpet. As Phillip Traill says, "Angela and I are very happy and the dog absolutely loves it".
