Radiant Floor Heating Pty Ltd has recently supplied and installed in-slab electric floor heating for the Galapagos Tortoise enclosure at Perth Zoo.
The construction involved supplying and installing heating cables to a 16sqm area, prior to a new concrete base being poured.
The design requirement was to achieve an ambient floor temperature of approx 28 degrees Celsius, even in winter, to provide the tortoises with comfortable conditions, similar to those of their native Galapagos Islands.
The use of floor heating cables can be adapted for many applications, both indoor and outdoor, including heating homes, offices, nursing homes, schools, animal enclosures, kennels, concrete moulds, etc. The list is endless!
