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 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. 9 Commissioned in March 2015, the heating system has seen a full year’s operation without any problems. “The floor is working well and we have used it successfully with only a day lead-in to heat the whole space which is considerable with its high ceilings,” says Hektor.
