One of a kind

Tiles are one of the oldest and most versatile building materials known to man. Available in an endless combination of materials, colours and finishes, not only do they look good, they are also hypoallergenic.

Despite their obvious benefits, tiles have only recently undergone a revitalisation in New Zealand's residential market, says Tile Creations director Tracey McLeod.

"With our cold winters, tiles were relegated to utility areas. However, modern heating technology has seen them incorporated into our living areas."

For the Abodes by Tracey Lee show home, Warmup BOP was contracted to supply under-tile heating for the bathrooms, kitchen, dining and lounge rooms, says director Grant Honeyfield.

"Under-tile heating is a cost-effective radiant system that heats the floor surface when and where you need it. Without the need for traditional heaters, there is no danger to prying little fingers. Quick and easy to install, under-tile heating comes with a ten-year guarantee."
