Renovating Comfort: How DEVI Transformed a Cold Hallway in Stavanger

The Challenge: A Cold Hallway

Nestled in Stavanger, Norway, a family house built in 1963 was in need of a modern touch to improve its indoor comfort.

Over the years, the home had retained much of its original structure, but the hallway had become a particularly challenging space. Known for being cold and unwelcoming, the hallway was a daily source of discomfort, especially during Norway's colder months.

The homeowners sought a solution that would seamlessly combine insulation and heating without requiring invasive construction work.

With a wooden floor in place, they were determined to preserve the aesthetic and structural integrity of the house while achieving improved comfort. Furthermore, they needed a system that was efficient, easy to install, and capable of delivering results immediately—key factors for any renovation project in an occupied home.

This balance of modern convenience and respect for the home’s character defined the challenge.

The Solution: DEVIcellâ„¢ Dry Floor Heating System

DEVI provided the perfect solution with  DEVIcell™ Dry Floor Heating System, a 2-in-1 solution combining insulation and electric floor heating.

This dry installation method is ideal for renovations, enabling comfort floor heating to be installed without screed or breaking up the original floor.

The system was installed in a 10 m² area near the doorway, delivering an output of 695 W.

Key products included the DEVIflex™ 10T heating cable, DEVIcell™ Dry insulation boards, and the user-friendly DEVIreg™ Smart thermostat.

The installation was completed within a single day, ensuring minimal disruption to the household.

 

The Result: A Warm and Inviting Hallway

The results were transformative. The once cold hallway was now a warm and inviting space, with the immediate effect of the heating system ensuring year-round comfort.

The dry installation method preserved the home’s original flooring while providing an energy-efficient solution.

The family can now enjoy a cozy, modernized hallway that enhances their quality of life.

This successful renovation, completed in 2023, highlights DEVI's commitment to delivering practical and innovative heating solutions tailored to the unique needs of homeowners.
