Custom Properties in Cyprus: Gallery 5
In this photo gallery, you'll see the fifth stage
of my custom property's construction; the mechanical engineering
works including the plumbing & central heating.
Many Cyprus properties in my luxury
properties section are not supplied with central heating or insulation - brrr!

Aerated concrete screed
When the electricians and plumbers have finished their ‘first fit’, a
screed of aerated concrete is pumped providing further insulation for my
custom property.

Cyprus underfloor heating
In my custom property, I chose to have underfloor heating. This is installed on top of
a
layer of aerated concrete screed and the pipe is fixed into a series
of interlocking styrofoam insulated panels that look like blocks of Lego.

Final concrete screed
A final screed of concrete is poured over the underfloor heating.
This provides a radiant panel for my heating system and a fixing
surface for the floor finishes.

Plant Room (1)
This is where all of my heating and water treatment
systems are kept. The red box is the boiler with the LPG gas-burner at
its base. The red sphere is the system’s expansion tank. Apartments and
smaller houses in Cyprus may have wall-mounted CH boilers. |

Plant Room (2)
The two vertical beige columns on the right are the water softener
and its water pressuring system; both of which are widely available in
Cyprus. Apart from drinking water and a supply to the garden, all my
property's water is softened. The blue/green
object on the wall is the water filter that removes iron and particles
from all the incoming water. |

Solar Water Heater
Seen on the roof of virtually all Cyprus properties is
a solar water heater. This one gives me free hot water for most of the
year. |
