Versatile prefabricated products enable fast, painless installations of hydronic systems. Pipelife prefab setups span a wide range of heating and cooling applications and stages of building development.
When combined with our design service, prefab product systems are perfectly aligned with your property — ensuring error-free installations and avoiding excess waste.
1. WHAT ARE PREFABRICATED HYDRONIC SYSTEMS?
Prefabricated hydronic systems comprise heating and cooling products that have been pre-assembled to streamline on-site installation. This can save up to 90% of installation time as products are ready to implement upon delivery.
2. WHY ARE PREFABRICATED HYDRONIC SYSTEMS BETTER THAN STANDARD INSTALLATIONS?
The main advantage prefabricated hydronic systems have over standard setups is the reduction in on-site installation time. As prefab systems come fully pre-assembled with all necessary fittings and fixings, installers can simply mount them to the desired surface and make the relevant connections. Not only does this save time, it also reduces material waste as all products have been made to measure in advance.
Pipelife prefab setups also provide peace of mind. All product systems are assembled under strict factory conditions to reduce the possibility of installation errors and ensure the longevity and reliability of our hydronic systems.
3. HOW LONG DO PREFABRICATED HYDRONIC SYSTEMS TAKE TO INSTALL?
As Pipelife prefab hydronic systems are suitable for a wide variety of heating and cooling settings, installation times vary according to your specific setup. However, our prefab products can save up to 90% of installation time compared to standard setups as they come fully pre-assembled with all necessary fittings. Installers can simply mount product systems onto the desired surface and make the required connections.
4. CAN PREFABRICATED HYDRONIC SYSTEMS BE INSTALLED OUTDOORS?
Yes, Pipelife prefab hydronic systems are well-suited to a variety of outdoor applications. For example, our prefab concrete core activation setups are delivered with pre-positioned and secured pipes that simply require concrete to be poured on top — perfect for keeping public and residential areas ice-free.
5. HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE OPTIMAL PREFAB HYDRONIC SYSTEM SETUP IN MY SPACE?
To optimize your prefab setup, we offer a comprehensive design service that ensures your prefab hydronic systems perfectly align with your property.
We can develop a layout proposal to determine how the various systems can be best utilized in your space, providing heating-efficiency calculations, energy-saving estimates, and complete product and accessory specifications.
We can then supply bespoke prefab products that have been customized to your needs and are ready to be installed upon delivery.
6. ARE PREFAB HYDRONIC SYSTEMS SUITABLE FOR ENERGY RENOVATION PROJECTS?
Yes, prefabricated systems are well-suited to energy renovation projects. For example, our gypsum panels are a fast and easy way of implementing a hydronic heating and cooling solution without invasive construction. The panels come fully pre-assembled and are easily fitted onto walls or ceilings before being plastered over for a smooth, aesthetic finish.
