Tyco Thermal Controls - Raychem underfloor heating meets 5-Star
requirements
Tyco Thermal Controls has been contracted to design
and supply its Raychem electric underfloor heating
systems for all 95 bathrooms at the luxurious new
Kempinski Hotel Charles V in Bruges, Belgium. This hotel
development involves the restoration and renovation of
two historic buildings - a former convent and a castle -
located in Bruges’ medieval city centre which is itself
a recognised UNESCO heritage site.
The Kempinski Hotel Charles V will be Bruges’ only
5-Star hotel and great attention is being paid to
providing the ultimate in quality and comfort, as befits
its status. This is clearly evident in the 95 bathrooms
where Raychem T2QuickNet-160 electric heating mats are
being installed under marble tiled floors to provide a
comfortable warm floor of 29°C.
Tyco Thermal Controls won the contract with a
combination of its quality product offering and a design
service that enabled it to provide project engineers
Tractebel Engineering, and its subsidiary Technum who
are also supporting the project, with detailed
installation designs and a bill of materials to supply
floor heating to every bathroom. Complete designs for
all 95 bathrooms were prepared within 4 days of receipt
of the project drawings, using Tyco’s proprietary
Raychem Floor Heating Planner Software. These included
2D and 3D graphics to assist the installation team
visualise the layouts before work commenced.
The ultra-thin Raychem T2QuickNet power mats are ideal
for renovation projects as they can be installed with
virtually no impact on floor height. Supplied
pre-assembled and ready to install, they have been
designed specifically by installers for installers and
are supplied as complete kits containing all the
components required to complete the job. Tyco Thermal
Controls offers two power mat options – a 90W/m2 version
and the fast heating 160W/m2 version which was chosen
for this hotel project.
Belgium based electrical wholesaler, Cebeo provided the
supply channel to site, with logistical support from
Tyco, and all materials were available to the installers
within 48 hours.
