With the RAUTHERM Universal pipe and the compression sleeve
jointing technique, components which have been proven millions of times
over are used.
The final floor structure of an industrially used
ground raft is determined by the responsible engineer, taking account
of the quality of the soil layer, the strength of the substrate, the
surface properties and the type of insulating layer. If necessary,
thermal insulation materials with sufficient compressive strength are
used. Heated industrial floors are used in three variants: in the basic
variant, the pipes are layed on the lower layer of reinforcement. In
the special variant, they are installed in the neutral zone. If fibre
reinforced concrete is used, the pipes can be fastened with the REHAU
RAUFIX system.

The REHAU Floating Floor system is suitable for domestic as well as commercial applications. For domestic applications this can be chipboard or plywood, for commercial installations we recommend 25mm thick dry flooring elements.
Extruded polystyrene panels are pre-routed in different patterns and are laminated with a strong aluminium foil. The foil diffuses the heat uniformly across the entire floor surface, the response time is significantly reduced compared to traditional wet screed systems due to the lower thermal mass.
Floating Floor installations using the single meander pattern are possible on both solid and suspended substrates. The REHAU Floating Floor system utilises the REHAU RAUTHERM Universal pipe 20mm x 1.9mm.

This system ensures that uniform circuit patterns are easily achieved and simplifies the installation process in larger areas.
The underfloor heating circuits can be laid in the double meander pattern, which gives an even spread of heat by alternating the flow and return pipes.
The REHAU range of RAUTHERM pipe in sizes 16mm x 1.5mm and 20mm x 1.9mm are fully compatible with the RAUFIX/Railfix system.
REHAU also offer the Railfix System. This system is an alternative to RAUFIX. The installation method follows that of RAUFIX, with the exception of using Railfix rails rather than RAUFIX. Railfix is supplied in 3m and 4m lengths for 16mm or 20mm pipe sizes.

Designed for timber joist floor applications.
The system uses aluminium plates to diffuse the heat over the floor area. Due to the high conductivity of the plates the reaction time compared to traditional screed systems is reduced.
It is installed into the building prior to wiring and plumbing. Care must be taken when installing this system in open joists, please refer to the relevant Health and Safety guidelines. The Diffusion Plate system utilises the REHAU RAUTHERM universal pipe 16mm x 1.5mm.

The REHAU Sprung Floor system is used for impact resilient floors, which are predominantly used for physical activities, such as sports halls, dance studios, leisure centres, squash courts etc. To achieve the best performance from the system, it is recommended to use a high quality flooring system, e.g. Junckers Bluebat Sports Floor System (batten size 48x50mm).
When installing the REHAU Sprung Floor system in a room which is required for a multitude of uses, the installation must be carefully assessed as the required design temperatures of 20°C to 21°C can result in extended response times.
The underfloor heating pipes are not fixed in any way to the sprung floor structure. This ensures the unique performance characteristics of the sprung floor are preserved. It also means that the benefits of a REHAU underfloor heating system can be enjoyed without having to compromise on the sprung floor effects.
Each underfloor heating circuit is laid in the double meander pattern with all heating circuits installed parallel to each other. This simplifies the hydraulic fine-tuning of the complete system during commissioning.
The REHAU Sprung Floor system utilises a matrix of REHAU RAUTHERM Universal pipe 20mm x 1.9mm within an air chamber formed between the floor surface, the flooring joists and the insulation layer beneath the pipes.
Due to the construction of the REHAU Sprung Floor system, it is possible to use it with other raised sports floor systems.
Low cost solution and rapid installation.
Whether you are planning to install Underfloor Heating in houses, flats, public buildings, large commercial sites or small conservatories you will benefit from the features of the REHAU SOLELEC system.
