Owner's comments:
“We have been really pleased with the Isoquick system since we installed it. As we constructed our Passivhaus home ourselves we wanted a system that would be compatible with the rest of the high performance timber frame and we found that in Isoquick. Our home is a pleasure to live in, and despite having no underfloor heating the exposed concrete slab that sits within the Isoquick always feels comfortable to touch.
We chose the Isoquick system over others because it didn't require any shoring (additional support) during construction, and because it came pre-cut to size so no further adjustments were needed between installation and the next stage of the build. This improved the time-scale on site and lead to a more seamless process.”
