Heat loss calculations are the first step in the design of an underfloor heating system. It is also one of the most important aspects of the system. The heat loss calculations tell you how much heat a building requires. Every building has different build methods which include different materials, shape, size and even location. By closely examining these factors, and creating a detailed table of them allows us get an overall picture of your buildings thermal performance and heating requirements.
Design - Technical Information
Through supplying thousands of domestic and commercial projects, Robbens have gained intimate knowledge of building methods and the information/ service needs of clients, matching our services to these specific needs.
Each of our underfloor heating projects will be attended by professional and qualified staff members, from the heat loss calculation through the pipe layouts to the manuals and wirings.
With customized installation manuals and detailed pipe layout drawings, any heating engineer, installer or practical person can install one of our systems easily and straightforward without modifications on the floor.
Each Robbens system is based on a room by room heat loss calculation, undertaken by us from your plans. Pipe loops are laid in the floor to precisely meet the heat demand, including compensating for any areas of high heat loss.
Once the quote has been accepted and the order has been processed, your system enters its second stage - the pipe layout design. These drawings show the optimal pipe spacing and routing for your project. Based on the heat loss calculations that are accurately produced at the quotation stage, these designs are an integral part of your underfloor heating system. The designs are produced 'in house' by a dedicated professional design team, to produce the layouts that form the basis of your underfloor heating system.
The Robbens Systems manuals are a complete and project specific guide to your underfloor heating system. Every system has a manual supplied covering installation, commissioning and operation. The wiring section of the manual contains of a full set of wiring diagrams that are specific to your system. It shows the connections for all of your room thermostats and which rooms require the set back thermostats.
