Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jan 25, 2006

Tyco Thermal Controls will be exhibiting its acclaimed Raychem electric underfloor heating systems and solutions for hot water services, frost protection and snow melting applications.

Tyco Thermal Controls will be at Interbuild 2006 (Stand 10-E21) exhibiting its acclaimed Raychem electric underfloor heating systems and solutions for hot water services, frost protection and snow melting applications in new build or refurbishment projects.

These feature the significant energy-savings achievable by employing self-regulating cable technology with intelligent control systems.

Visitors will also discover the 'smart' support services available to developers, specifiers, contractors and installers.

Smart Underfloor heating for all floor coverings.

Within the Raychem range of complete electric underfloor heating systems are energy-efficient solutions for all traditional floor surfaces, including wood.

The offering encompasses both self-regulating cables systems and power mats.

Tyco Thermal Controls supports its underfloor heating systems with 'smart' design software, an interactive installer website and its 12 year manufacturer's triple-warranty.

Instant hot water at tap.

By heat-tracing pipe work to maintain water temperature, the Raychem HWAT system enables instant hot water to be available at every tap from a single pipe system.

The system offers significant energy-savings (up to 50%) and installed costs are lower too as it eliminates a need for recirculation plumbing.

No more frozen pipes.

Raychem has an electric self-regulating heat-tracing system to prevent exposed cold water feeds and service lines from freezing in severe weather.

This complete system comprises self-regulating heating cable, 'smart' control units and RayClic fast connections which together deliver significantly lower total installed costs and lower operating costs.

Snow-free access.

The robust Raychem snow and ice melting system keeps pedestrian and vehicular access areas around buildings clear and safe in extreme winter weather by maintaining the ground surface temperature above freezing.

It is economical as it activates only when the ambient conditions are conducive to snowfall or ice formation.

No more frozen gutters.

The Raychem roof and gutter snow melting and de-icing system maintains a continuous drain path from the roof through the gutter and down pipe.

It prevents icicles forming or snow causing damage to the roof.

Intelligent controls and 'smart' tools.

For total system integrity, all Raychem systems are offered with intelligent controls capable of integration into building management systems (BMS) and designed to further enhance energy-efficiency.

Architects, contractors and installers also have access to a range of 'smart' tools to assist in selecting, designing and installing the optimum thermal solution for their application.
