Active Ceiling For The Commercial Market Is Now Available

WHAT IS AN ACTIVE CEILING SYSTEM?

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 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.
