In mid-2019, we launched a radiant heating and cooling solution to the New Zealand residential market, originating from Europe and the U.S.
"Active Ceiling" is the name we gave this system, which works by delivering a uniform comfort level throughout your living space, providing comfort and energy where and when needed. Radiant heating and cooling systems are concealed in the ceiling, providing an environment of unique thermal comfort and health.

The next stage in our launch plan of Active Ceiling is to the Commercial market, which delivers heating and cooling through the suspended tiles in the workspace. Active Ceiling changes the way buildings are conditioned and reduces carbon footprint, with the direction global warming is heading it is clear the future is in radiant cooling.

The system is compatible with gypsum tile from the gyptone range. Without a significant loss of efficiency, up to 64 tles can be connected in series directly to a manifold loop. No specialist certification is required for installation as the tiles are simply set into the existing ceiling suspension grid in the same way as traditional office ceiling systems, whilst ensuring easy access to the ceiling space to inspect other facilities. If needed, moving the tiles for maintenance is straightforward.

There will be a range of different panel styles available for purchase, at the standard size of 1200mm x 600mm. All panels will be ordered on indent on a per job basis, with a leadtime of approximately 12- 16 weeks.

No longer will it be a balancing act to achieve optimal comfort in the office space. Active Ceiling offers unrivalled thermal comfort; a perfect balance of heat exchange between our body and the surrounding environment.

Radiant technology enhances the feel of a uniform, natural temperature. The system is also quick to respond due to the speed of radiation. Bi-monthly maintenance will be a thing of the past reducing the running cost of your space.
