HB Villages chose EasyClean skirting heating boards to deliver a safe and comfortable environment for the residents.

HB Villages provide a custom built assisted living ‘centre’ allowing persons with both physical and learning disabilities to live in comfort and with dignity, with on-site 24 hour care and assistance if and as needed by the clients.

The challenge is delivering these units on budget, and also with an accurate 20 year prediction of operating and maintenance cost that enable local authorities to invest better for the future.

Initially, underfloor heating was considered, but previous experience had shown that slow response times can cause over and under heating, leading to distress to clients in many cases. In addition the need to dry out the screed for several weeks, often by using temporary heating added significant hidden costs as well as problems with final floor finishes lifting if hurried. ThermaSkirt replaces the radiators and skirting boards in one cost effective, energy and space saving package.

Running costs will be lower than with the original LST radiators due to the EasyClean’s unique low temperature all around heating pattern and because the system can be thoroughly cleaned with a simple wipe when mopping the floors.
