Emmeti for Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage has to be valorised and protected. Therefore a proper check of temperature and humidity able to protect the existent structures without creating degradation phenomena is essential.
Floor heating and floor conditioning systems matched to electrical check systems for temperature and summer/winter humidity are the best solution for this kind of realization. System is completely hidden both inside and outside the building.
The solutions adopted
An underfloor system is a heating or cooling system that uses a network of pipes placed under the floor to distribute heat or cooling within a dwelling or building.
Benefits of the underfloor system include:
Increased comfort: The underfloor system provides even heat spread evenly throughout the room, eliminating the drafts and cold spots typical of traditional radiator heating systems.
Increased energy efficiency: Due to the low-temperature heat distribution, the underfloor system requires less energy to reach the desired temperature than other heating systems.
Flexible design: Since the pipes are installed under the floor, the floor system does not limit the design of the interior spaces, allowing maximum freedom in the arrangement of the furniture and the absence of bulky elements such as radiators.
Quietness: Dry floor systems operate very quietly. There are no air flow or rattling noises as in forced ventilation systems or radiators. This creates a quieter and more pleasant environment without acoustic disturbances.
In addition to the benefits described above, the Emmeti Dry Alu Floor heating/cooling system is the right alternative for installations that require minimum thicknesses, decreased weight on the floors, and quickness to bring the system up to speed.
Bossed panel is a form of insulation panel that is commonly used in radiant floor systems. It has a surface with protuberances (ashlars) that aid in and guide the installation of system pipework. The bossed panel is appropriate for rooms with orthogonal walls, but a flat panel is preferable for rooms with uneven walls.
The bossed panel offers the advantages of strong thermal insulation, quick and easy installation, and even heat or cold distribution by radiation.
The Standard Combi Floor insulating panel is a bossed panel that efficiently responds to the need for maximum resistance and sturdiness during installation.
It consists of a classic EPS panel with a thermoformed sheet of thick, rigid, black polystyrene film on top, which makes it externally resistant to crushing caused by the operators treading on the bosses of the panel, before and after laying the cement. The thermoformed film features cylindrical interlocking grooves on the edges that make up the waterproof and protective surface of the insulating layer, ideal for the use of liquid, self-levelling screeds.
Floor system pipes carry hot or cold water to heat or cool rooms by radiation. On insulating panels that can be flat or ashlar, the pipes are installed beneath the floor. The pipes can be made of a variety of materials, including cross-linked polyethylene (PE-X), multilayer (metal-plastic), and polyethylene. The diameter of the pipes depends on the water flow rate and the length of the circuit.
Alpert nude pipe is a multilayer pipe for plumbing and heating systems made from a composite material through a technologically advanced process, whereby a pipe in PE-RT (polyethylene of raised temperature resistance) is bonded to an aluminium core (minimum thickness 0.2 mm), which is butt-welded and covered with another layer in PE-RT.
