Comfortable underfloor heating and Šantovka Living

When it comes to high standards, it is clear that it cannot only be about the choice of materials and furnishings in bathrooms, but a significant part of it always lies in the spatial solutions and technical equipment of the apartments. This naturally includes the type of heating. The highest level of comfort in this regard is provided by underfloor heating, implemented in the Šantovka Living project by the company DSTech Olomouc, s.r.o. The magic of this solution primarily lies in the surface radiant heating of the space, which is pleasant and also healthy for people. Especially from the perspective of an asthmatic or allergic person, who does not have to worry about dust swirling. The installation of underfloor heating took place in all rooms of the apartment, allowing the owner to fully utilize the designated space. When designing underfloor heating, it is always important to consider all aspects that will influence the choice of a specific system. In the Šantovka Living residential complex, the TACKER system was preferred, which the manufacturer REHAU directly recommends for residential construction. There are actually several reasons for this. From the installation perspective, the system board is important, on which the RAUTHERM SPEED pipes are fixed with the help of special clips. The shape of these clips is designed to ensure a secure fixation easily. This system board is made of hardened polystyrene and is additionally covered with a PE film with fabric, which has the advantage of effectively contributing to the reduction of impact noise as well as thermal insulation. At the same time, it allows for quick and flexible laying, which is advantageous in residential construction. It should be added that the manufacturer supplies the board either as a folding board suitable for smaller rooms or as a roll for large areas.

Heat Pump and PE-Xa Pipes

The source of heat for the entire building is provided by a ground-water heat pump with a temperature drop of 40/30 °C. This is an ideal combination for effective use of low-temperature underfloor heating. The transmission of radiant heat occurs through the RAUTHERM SPEED pipes (16 × 1.5 mm), made of high-quality PE-Xa material, which is technically cross-linked polyethylene subjected to high pressure. The individual heating circuits converge in each apartment unit at the REHAU HKV EasyFlow distributor. The design and composition of the floor have also been chosen with speed and quality in mind. The height of the floor is therefore 150 mm, with a base made of 60 mm thick foamed concrete, followed by 30 mm of TACKER impact insulation with pipes and 50 mm of anhydrite screed, the height of which is chosen according to the expected floor load. The composition is completed with a 10 mm floor covering chosen by the apartment owner. Temperature comfort in the apartments is monitored by smart regulation. So far, over 60 kilometers of piping have been installed in the buildings. Given that another phase is under construction, it is expected that another 45 kilometers of pipes will be added.
