That is why landowner and developer, Hektor Rous, chose Gaia’s wet underfloor heating system in the renovation of the Grade II listed barn at the family seat, Henham Park, in Suffolk. The Hub, which was formed in 2005 as a Specialist Fit-out Contractor to the Museums & Heritage Sector and has since built an enviable reputation within the industry, has specified decorative column casings from Pendock for its latest project carried out in Greenwich’s most prominent landmark. A new brochure on its range of flooring systems has been published by Fermacell. The Rous family has lived at Henham Park since the 16th Century and, when Hektor took over the daunting task of running the estate in 2004, he set about making the park and its various buildings earn their keep. Events such as the Grand Henham Steam Rally and the first-ever Latitude Festival, soon started bringing in sorely-needed funds.

The 64-page A4 manual details how Fermacell’s dry flooring systems are a practical and cost-effective alternative to conventional wet screed to concrete floors and how their excellent thermal conductivity makes them a very efficient overlay to underfloor heating systems. In addition, an optional wood fibre layer to the gypsum fibreboard base gives it excellent acoustic properties.
