REHAU is set to
release five new videos demonstrating the various benefits provided by its
District Heating division.
The videos will be
available online and will cover multiple aspects of heat networks, including: design, the
product range, UK production, sales support and stock availability. Each aspect
has different benefits, but all improve the experience, both for the consultant
and contractor.
The design service
offered by REHAU helps optimise customer’s heat networks through addressing
flow and return temperatures, pipe sizing, diversity, pipe routing, heat losses
and BIM level 2 modelling. The video shows how the design team can support customers
on large projects, providing the necessary advice when and where the client and
consultant needs it.
Viewers can
virtually meet the REHAU sales and technical support staff in the second film
and are guided through by Kenny Boyle and Nigel Smith, two members of REHAU’s
District Heating team, the largest specialist sales team of its kind in the UK.
They explain the benefits of choosing REHAU as a district heating partner, such
as free on-site installation training and CIBSE-approved CPD sessions, as well
as introducing customers to the technical support available for project
optimisation.
Stock availability
for REHAU’s district heating range is covered in the third film, demonstrating
how they can tailor stock support to the needs of the project due to the
customer’s ability to work directly with REHAU. The stock shown in Manchester
is the largest stock of district heating pipes in the UK.
A fourth film
concentrates on the production element of the RAUVITHERM product and is filmed
on location in Blaenau in North Wales, where the pipe is manufactured. It
explains how the pipe is innovatively constructed for high flexibility making
it suitable for use in district heating, biogas, biomass and heat pump
applications. It is the only PE-Xa district heating pipe made in the UK, which
has reduced carbon emissions for REHAU’s UK District Heating business by up to
29%.
District Heating
products are showcased in the final video, which presents REHAU’s range of
pipes and accessories. It focuses on accessories such as shrouds and the PE-Xa
pipework, RAUVITHERM, RAUTHERMEX and the new polypropylene pipes that offer a
fully polymer district heating solution. These products are flexible and reduce
heat loss making them perfect for heating systems.
Steve Richmond, Head
of Marketing and Technical for the Building Solutions division at REHAU, said:
“REHAU is an innovative and forward-thinking company, with sustainability at
the core of all our principles, and so our District Heating solutions are ones
that we are very proud of.
“With District
Heating projects still less common across the UK than other European countries
it’s important that customers know we are there to support them throughout
their design and installation journey. These videos demonstrate the time and
expertise that go into making our products, and how connected we are to our
customers.”
