Warmup projects in New Zealand

The Warmup ANS team was brought into this design project to complete the installation of four bathrooms and a powder room. Out of sight and away from inquisitive little fingers, at the heart of each of these bathrooms, our innovative wet room technological solutions are quietly focused on doing the work of insulating, heating, soundproofing, and waterproofing.

We are strong advocates for Marmox products which insulate, waterproof, and soundproof. Marmox board insulation creates a waterproof thermal barrier for the Warmup undertile heating ensuring heat is pushed upwards into the room, and the bathroom tiles heat up quickly. At the same time, soundproofing means the noise and echo of footfall on tiles are reduced by up to 20 decibels.

Warmup undertile heating can be fitted to large or confined spaces, is economical, efficient, and offers balanced heat distribution for the room above. The system is silent and has no extruding or detachable parts. It’s the ideal solution for bathroom heating needs. Finally, Warmup thermostats allow you to programme all of your heating preferences. Alternatively, you can choose to simply turn on the thermostat and alter the heat settings on your whim.

The finished bathrooms reflect the interior aesthetic of combining horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines with soft lighting and fixtures, creating harmony and ease with an appearance that is both classic and modern.

We are proud to have been involved in this unique project.

The owners of this beautiful new house in Hamilton decided that they wanted polished concrete floors in the main areas of the house. The Warmup Waikato team installed inslab heating in selected areas of the house with separate thermostats to control each individual area. The inslab heating elements 2x5000watts and 1×1920 watts were installed after the reinforcing mesh was added and prior to the concrete being poured. Inslab heating is a great choice if you wish to build a house from scratch. The slower heat-up time and cool-down time of the inslab heating cable makes it suitable for common areas that are used more often. Effective installation and correct operation and control will ensure maximum cost-effectiveness.

The Warmup Team also installed undertile heating in both bathrooms adding to the luxury and comfort.

In 2020, the Warmup ANS team installed 190 integrated wet room systems in the International –  the apartment building in Auckland CBD that delivers a luxurious living experience. Only the best materials were used – Ardex waterproofing membrane, Warmup undertile heating and Warmup thermostats TH115,  Marmox wedge shower bases, and custom single panel shower glass.

This home has been totally rebuilt after the earthquakes to a very high standard. The house is located on the lower slopes of the cashmere hills.

The Warmup Christchurch team has built a large shower enclosure with two recessed shower dumpers and a full tile seat down. Marmox shower trays and shower niches have been installed and over 30 m of waterproofing has been used. The en-suite is finished to a very high standard, and up-market products have been used throughout.

The developer has worked in Australia for a number of years and has come back to NZ to do this project and a few others where Warmup will also be involved.

Warmup installed 130 bathrooms and waterproofed all public areas in the beautiful and reputable 4-star Rydges Wellington Airport Hotel. While installing our wetroom systems, we used modern building products such as Ardex waterproofing membrane, Marmox shower bases, and insulation boards for the shower floor. Warmup’s wetroom systems are reliable, cost-effective, require low maintenance, and are quick to install. They are the best option not only for hotels but for many other commercial properties.

The Warmup Auckland team installed 76 bathrooms and ensuites with waterproofing and acoustics insulation in the laundry, kitchen, scullery, and entry areas in each apartment in the new Beach and Cavalli Apartment Building.

For this job, the Warmup specialists used these products:

•  Marmox insulation boards
• Marmox shower bases
• Marmox shower niches
• Tranquillity drains
• Ardex waterproofing membrane
• Warmup Color-Touch Thermostats

Each bathroom features Tranquillity bathroom accessories such as heated towel rails, hooks, and paper holders. Each apartment has got a popular Moderno Carbon Infrared Heater installed on the balcony, so the homeowners can enjoy the outdoors all year round.

Beach and Cavalli is an iconic and luxurious investment that includes 38 deluxe, large apartments. The building is situated in the popular Long Bay, only a few minutes from the beautiful beach.

The job was to install an electric underfloor heating system in a portable house.  Underfloor heating is the best heating option as it saves space which is important in a limited room. Moreover, it’s silent, energy-efficient and hidden.

Underfloor heating installation

On top of the timber subfloor, the Marmox insulation boards were installed. Marmox makes the heating more efficient and to save money on running costs. After that, the heating wire was installed. The floor area was equally covered with the wire to avoid cold spots. No heating wire is required in the areas where the furniture and appliances will be installed. The next step – putting a leveling compound to seal the wire and to make the floor perfectly even. It takes 24 hours to cure. After that, the laminate floor can be installed. The heating can be turned on or off on demand and the temperature can be controlled with a Warmup thermostat.

This was one of the large jobs Warmup did last year in Christchurch for a homeowner – we installed the heating under timber laminate flooring. Our underfloor heating professionals installed 6mm Marmox insulation board and then laid 4mm thermobreak followed by taping 5KW  heating element down with foil tape. The customer was very happy with the results and the heating solution

The Warmup underfloor heating specialists in Christchurch installed undercarpet heating in the iconic restaurant – Strawberry Fare. In colder seasons, it was hard to heat the place because of all the south-facing windows and very high Cathedral ceilings.  The undercarpet heating option was chosen as it could make the large place evenly and comfortably warm for all guests of the restaurant.
