The perfect combination for warm, dry, economical showers and wet rooms

The combination of Abacus Direct's innovative Elements system of easy to install, tileable wet floor systems for domestic and commercial applications, and DEVI electric underfloor heating, is an unbeatable one.

The two products in tandem ensure that any wetroom or bathroom is warm, dry, superbly insulated and economical to heat.

Ian Pattison, MD of Abacus Direct explains "It's a very effective and simple solution for today's bathrooms. When the Elements board is used with DEVImat in a bathroom or wetroom floor, heat is not lost so it's extremely efficient and warm; it rises up through the tiles/flooring material not downwards through the floor due to insulating properties of Elements."

Elements comprises waterproof structural foam which boasts high insulation properties and high compressive strength. Added benefits include a lightweight, easy-to-handle structure which is easy to cut, fire retardant and made without CFC, HCFC, HFC or CO2.

In turn, DEVI, the world's largest manufacturer of electric heating systems, offers the prefabricated DEVImat, with a 20-year guarantee, as a supplement to existing heating systems. The mat spreads an even warmth across the floor allowing the main heat source to be turned down at times or disregarded completely with corresponding energy savings. The new DEVI Touch controller allows for optimum efficiency.

The Elements product can be used for all sorts of applications - bath panels, shower trays, wall and floor tile backer boards, shower panelling, whole shower kits, and recessed storage, bespoke vanity units and shelves to name a few.

Abacus Direct Ltd supplies to the merchant, retail and contract sectors, offering a variety of bathroom brands to satisfy all styles and price points. From single pieces of sanitaryware to whole bathroom concepts, Abacus Direct delivers quality; innovation and value for money, helping you create the ultimate relaxing retreat.
