Case Studies

The Following case studies outline the process involved in deploying our polytherm heating systems:

In reviewing these case studies it is worthwhile to note the specific advantages and importance of the Polytherm heating systems outlined below:

The Advantages of Polytherm
     
The heat generated from the floor is distributed uniformly across the entire room creating a pleasant and cosy atmosphere that is just great to live, work and play in.

Polytherm floor heating systems are becoming increasingly popular. Not surprisingly when considering that these modern low-temperature systems are based on more than 20 years experience.

Economic, ecological, aesthetic as well as health related aspects strongly favour these long-life heating systems. In private houses, churches, libraries, offices, factory floors, nursing homes, historic buildings as well as outdoors. They provide heat for exotic animals in the zoo or help make vegetables grow more rapidly. There are next to no limits for the application of Polytherm floor heating systems

Important to builders
Whether for old or new buildings - a Polytherm floor hetaing system is the right choice. Regardless of whether you have parquet, carpet, marble or tiles, the Polytherm systems can be installed under any floor covering approved for floor heating systems. By the way, if you take into account all the cost-saving advantages, a Polytherm floor heating system has no reason to dread a comparison of prices with ordinary radiator heating systems.

Important note for building owners
A polyterm system is ideal in low-energy buildings. The low temperature demand suits the system and in connection with up-to-date heat generators, e.g. an energy-saving, environmentally safe condensing boilers or heat pumps, economy and environmental considerations may be combined in an optimal way.

Important to environment conscious energy saver
Polytherm floor heating systems are operated with energy-saving low-temperature technology. From a technical point of view, the most simple explanation is: since the entire floor serves as a heating surface, these systems require a low heating water temperature. On average approx. 40°C instead of 60°C. As a consequence you have all the options in selecting the energy carrier/generator. And because the heat distributes evenly from the floor throughout the room, you feel as comfortable at a room temperature of 20°C as in a room heated with a conventional system at 22°C. All things considered, this equates to a double saving effect. The ‘personal heat perception’ also contributes to lowering costs, because a room temperature lowered by 1°C creates up to 10% energy saving.

Important to Architects
Unobstructed views through the room without any interfering, space-consuming radiators: floor heating systems offer design options to interior decorators under optimum utilisation of the space available. A good reason for incorporating Polytherm into planning activities right from the start. From the single-family dwelling to large-scale projects.

Important to Home Dwellers
Cleaning of heated floor areas is easy and even has some advantages. Dust-swirling and carbonisation of particles is avoided due to the relatively low temperatures. Which results in less dust on furniture, curtains and in corners.

Important to persons suffering from allergies
A healthy climate allows for a healthier life. Polytherm floor heating systems draw off moisture from the floor area (a dry floor is the most inappropriate habitat for all allergens such as household mite, fungus spores and bacteriae). In addition the system avoids dust from being swirled thus making life considerably easier for those suffering from allergies and also sufferers of asthma.

Important to Investors
Polytherm surface heating systems are extremely well-suited not only for domestic living areas but also for office and commercial buildings, industrial and sports halls or for outdoor areas with a high traffic load.

The universal applicability of the systems become apparent, for instance, in that even severe Winter conditions no longer present any reason for anxiety as Polytherm ensures that the surfaces such as ramps for car parks remain free of snow and ice. In addition a polytherm system represents considerable value added to a property.

Important to the environment
Responsibility for the environment is one of the most important principles set by Polytherm to guide all of its entrepreneurial activities. This starts with the provision of environmentally sensitive products such as CFC-free system panels.

Polytherm makes every effort for a target-orientated recycling of residual materials, which are for example used as secondary raw material to manufacture pipe clips.

Also every effort is made to avoid packaging-waste. A good example of this being the Polytherm pump mixer block, as it is delivered in a protective packaging which at the same time serves as heat insulation.
