Providing a solution to offset heat loss created by window areas and perimeter walls whilst also supplying a floor heating system to be installed throughout the main lobby.

The Solution 

Warmup designed and supplied custom size electric floor heating mats to be installed around the perimeter of each floor and throughout the entire main lobby.

The Result

The lobby had custom mats installed in the floor creating a comfortable high-end luxurious feel in the main lobby. The additional floors had heat losses offset by the Warmup mats installed around the perimeter of each room creating a more comfortable environment for its future residents.
