Freedom. Peace. Heat.

This is the ultimate feeling of luxury - living on water, in your own houseboat. With every possible home comfort and Variotherm floor heating. Wait a second! Floor heating, on a boat? Is that even possible? But of course! And what's more, it's not even that difficult!

The low profile VarioComp with its construction height of just 20 mm will warm the feet of even the hardiest mariner and the most sensitive mermaid! Powerful and with very responsive control, this system provides cosy heat where cold feet would otherwise be expected.

ABC Arkenbouw can boast vast experience in the construction of house-boats. However, anyone who thinks here of old, romantic wooden barges à la Tom Sawyer is paddling up the wrong creek. From an architectural viewpoint, the floating houses built by this specialist company are extremely graceful and sophisticated structures made of glass, wood and steel that offer every conceivable comfort.

No matter how technologically advanced these floating palaces may be, traditional floor heating with screed is a non-starter for weight reasons. The installation height would also be too bulky for this application. To ensure pleasantly heated rooms nonetheless, the project manager Breman Kampen asked the company to install ultra-flat, lightweight and easy-to-fit floor heating. A clear case for the efficient VarioComp system! A total of 110 m² of these panels, which are both simple and flexible to install, were fitted in the lower and upper decks. The houseboat's floor heating is regulated by means of two distributor circuits, which are in turn controlled by the VarioManifold.
