nesite’s dry radiant floor as a non-invasive technical solution in the conservative restoration works of historical buildings.
In the specific case of the Church of St. Michel in Milan, the priority concerned the preservation of the original flooring, recognized as a fundamental element of the liturgy and characterizing the building itself.
The installation of our radiant system Diffuse has given not only the concrete possibility of preservation of the existing flooring, but also the integration of a floor heating system with a low environmental impact and the total inspection of the underfloor.
MATERIAL SUPPLIED
1.000 msq of dry radiant floor composed of:
Twin Floorpanels 600 x600 mm with ceramic finishig; panels with various chromium plating were used in order to reproduce the original floor pattern.
radiant panels with special bottom surface for perfect thermal insulation, including multilayer pipes.
acoustic pads in eco-compatible rubber, dimensions 100 x 100 mm, 5 mm thick.
Dry radiant systems do not require cementitious screed for the distribution of heat. They are lightweight, quick to install, can be immediately walked on and have a very low thermal inertia.
Christchurch Civic Building has been defined the most eco-compatible building in New Zealand and it represents an important architectural renovation work designed by Athfield Architects. The building uses technologies dedicated to the optimization of resources such as the mini power plant that creates energy from landfill - collected material or the recovery of energy generated
The particularity of the project lies in the installation, in certain areas, of a customised product based on precise aesthetic characteristics foreseen by the project design.
