heat is on for Wavin Osma
Published:  14 February, 2008

Wavin Plastic's expertise in producing superior heating and cooling systems has been endorsed by Persimmon Home's decision to use the company's genius OSMA Underfloor Heating (UFH) systems in its high profile housing project, Living-i.

Living-i consists of five innovative homes built this summer in Irlam, Manchester, using a range of modern construction methods that embrace the very latest in home technologies and eco-friendly solutions.

The Eco house - a detached timber-framed four bedroom home built with eco-friendliness in mind - features the OSMA UFH Foiled Polystyrene system. This is a wet system fitted just below the floor which consists of heating pipes controlled by an electronic thermostat. This arrangement emits heat linearly from the floor to the ceiling, thus resulting in a more even distribution of heat as opposed to radiators which rely on convection and results in high temperatures at ceiling level and cooler at floor level.

The Energy House is a four bedroom detached home which has been designed to meet the latest government legislation aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the UK.
