Climate Control on Speed Dial: Major Retailer in Czechia Goes With Pipelife's Prefab Solution

09. August 2024 | 4 min read

Established in 1945, XXXLutz is now known as the world's second-largest furniture retailer, employing over 26,000 people in 13 countries. In the Czech Republic, XXXLutz operates ten department stores, with the eleventh set to open in August 2024. Pipelife Czechia is proud to have supplied a state-of-the-art prefabricated ceiling heating and cooling system for the nearly 15,000-m2 facility in Hradec Králové.

Large Scale, Fast Pace

In December 2023, Pipelife Czechia's team was approached by the contractor Energis 92 for a major construction project with tight deadlines. The experienced contractor sought a quick-to-install climate control solution for a large commercial area to be built for the XXXLutz store in the city of Hradec Králové.

The project had a demanding schedule, requiring the climate control system to be installed before several other construction steps could begin. After discussing the project specifics with the customer, Pipelife's team proposed an innovative solution — a preassembled ceiling heating and cooling system designed to expedite and simplify the installation process.

Prefab: Cutting Down Installation Time 

Pipelife's prefabricated hydronic ceiling heating and cooling systems are produced under strict factory conditions, ensuring their excellent reliability and minimizing the possibility of installation errors. 

Each system is tailor-made to meet the specific requirements of the project. Once supplied, the preassembled panels only need to be attached to the ceiling and connected to the manifold. Depending on the system type, project scale and requirements, prefabrication can save up to 90% of the installation time.

Preassembled Ceiling Panels for Effortless Climate Control

In total, the handmade workshop at Pipelife Czechia's production site in Napajedla produced 832 preassembled ceiling heating and cooling panels, each measuring 2.2 x 2.7 meters. Pipelife's highly durable RadoPress pipes and fittings were used, attaching them to a galvanized steel mesh. Additionally, Pipelife supplied a stainless-steel manifold and flow meters, providing the customer with a complete solution of the highest reliability.

"The prefabricated heating and cooling system was an absolute novelty for us," says Tomas Horalek, Project Manager at Energis 92. "The biggest advantage of Pipelife's panels was the speed of installing them directly under the ceiling, handling them and connecting the system into one functional unit."

Pipelife Czechia supplied a state-of-the-art prefabricated ceiling heating and cooling system for the nearly 15,000-m2 facility in Hradec Králové.

Changing the Game for Large-Scale Construction Projects

The installation of the climate control system started in the 15,000-m2 facility in February 2024 and was completed by early May. Construction work in the upcoming commercial area continues, but the project is well on track to be completed within its original deadline. The latest XXXLutz store in Czechia will welcome customers already this summer.

The project highlights the advantages of Pipelife's prefabricated heating and cooling systems and demonstrates the convenience of implementing such solutions in large-scale commercial and industrial areas.
