Magnolia House, based in Birmingham Children’s Hospital, provides a calm and secluded environment for families suffering through the toughest news.

JG Speedfit designed an underfloor heating system to create a warm and welcoming environment that complemented the interior design and made the most of useable floor space.

The project, the first of its kind in the UK and funded entirely by charitable donations, is a far cry from the clinical offices, empty cubicles or playrooms of the past in which such news
was delivered.

Magnolia House consists of two private counselling rooms; a calming lounge area; a stylish kitchen and dining area; a siblings’ play area; a peaceful, landscaped garden; and a private, large family room complete with its own bathroom, kitchen and garden. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for plenty of natural light in the space

As well as providing optimal levels of heat, JG Speedfit underfloor reduces airborne allergens and has no sharp edges or hot surfaces, making it safer for little hands than traditional radiator networks.
