Lewis Deck to The Old Post Office, Brockhall Village

CDI > Case Studies > Uncategorized > Lewis Deck to The Old Post Office, Brockhall Village

Plot 1, The Old Post Office, Brockhall Village is a self build home for a director of a local construction company.

We were contacted, in September 2016, by a very enthusiastic individual who had used Lewis Deck previously on a commercial project in the Bolton area of Lancashire.

After seeing how easy it was to install and then how the underfloor heating performed in conjunction with the Lewis Deck he told himself that when he built his new home that finally he had found the perfect solution to the problem of an efficient heating system to upper floors.

With also getting the added benefit of solid floors, that won’t ever squeak or creak, and much better sound reduction properties he ordered the Lewis and had it delivered in the same week.

After using Lewis Deck on a commercial project a couple of years ago I was very impressed with its ease of use and also the performance it gave to the floor. Because of this I decided then that when I built my own home Lewis Deck had to be used on the upper floor.

The total area of the 1st floor was 122m2 and the installation time was only 2 days, for 1 joiner, and this included an hours training from CDI at the beginning of the first day.
