Schütz installs 400 square metres of system profiled panels for underfloor heating in Rudelzhausen town hall
Rudelzhausen/Selters (hds). – The 3,400 inhabitants of the idyllic community of Rudelzhausen in the district of Freising can be pleased: in late September their new town hall opened its doors. For the staff of the municipal administration, however, first of all that meant moving into modern and larger offices. It became necessary to build a new town hall when the previous, ageing official building got too small. Smooth public administration was thus no longer possible. On top of that, mildew had also spread through the partially ramshackle office building. The entire building substance made efficient utilisation impossible, rising energy prices also became a significant cost factor. In order to save costs in future, when building the new town hall a conscious decision was made to use innovative heating technology and good thermal insulation.
Modern standard: underfloor heating
The town hall has three floors with a total of eleven rooms and a basement. In order to make the best use of the rooms it was decided not to use wall-mounted radiators for heating. In all offices – covering a total area of 400 square metres – modern underfloor heating is used instead. It provides cosy radiant heat – and thus a pleasant atmosphere for staff and customers. The underfloor heating system consists of especially easy to install system profiled panels and PE Xa pipes from Schütz. All elements from the manufacturer based in Selters/Westerwald bear the quality seal ‘Made in Germany’ and fulfil the statutory requirements of the German Energy Conservation Ordinance (EnEV).
Quick installation – reliable use
Whether diagonal installation without clamping aids, difficult room layouts, high traffic loads, different screed types, the press-stud system – the profiled panel is suitable for almost any substrate and any premises. On the market for almost two years now, it has long since passed its test in practice with flying colours. Installation in the town hall by employees of the firm Schmautz from Mainburg was therefore quick and easy: after three days the panels and heating pipes were installed across the entire office area. The robust covering also proved to be advantageous in the building phase that followed: the elements stood up to the intensive follow-up activities of the tradesmen, who on some days walked the floors in large numbers, without the slightest damage. Meanwhile the floor has long since been filled with screed, the desks and shelves set up. Visitors – and the winter – can come. Everything has been done to ensure a pleasant atmosphere in the town hall!
