REHAU UNDERFLOOR HEATING PROVIDING COMFORT IN NURSING HOME
REHAU Underfloor Heating Manifold 
REHAU’s underfloor heating system was the first choice for the developers of a large, new build 44-bed nursing home in Dursley, Gloucestershire.
Underfloor heating was felt to be the most comfortable option for the home’s new elderly residents and eliminated any risk from visible heat emitters.
Greystone Construction had used the REHAU system on previous similar projects and had been impressed with the quality of the Pe-Xa pipework and fittings and with the skill of the fitting team from HS Tech Partners.
HS Tech worked alongside M&E contractors Octagon Heating to install pipework on all three floors of the 2,100m2 project using REHAU’s Tacker system. As well as being very fast in comparison with conventional pipework fixing onto rails, this system provides considerable flexibility in the layout of circuits, which was useful in the nursing home where there are lots of small, irregular shaped areas.
Using the Tacker installation method, REHAU’s universal pipe is fixed directly onto Tacker insulation boards, pre-laminated with a fabric reinforced water resistant foil before the screed is laid.
