Reviews

“Energy and environmental issues were important, and the architect and builder took both very seriously. The house has Pink Batts, double-glazing, solar-powered (Floor*Store™) under floor heating, and sewage disposal with bio-cycle system. In fact, the family intends to use the solar heating system for a 25 metre lap swimming pool, to be added in the future.”

House of the Year magazine, Issue 2, 2001

“...there is also an innovative solar central-heating system. It consists of plastic pipes which run beneath the iron roof and the winter sun is sufficient to heat the water to a surprisingly high temperature. The pipes run beneath the concrete floor and the hot water is pumped through, creating under-floor heating.”

“From the moment Floor*Store™ was installed the background heat was very noticeable”. Mrs Barry continued, “Interest from the local neighbours and Queenstown builders was extremely high — when they visited they couldn't believe the difference in how comfortable the room temperature was.”
