Radiant Ceiling Panels deliver instant, cost-effective comfort
|
|
|
|
The Thermatile Plus is a radiant ceiling panel consisting of a special
corrugated aluminium panel of patented design and a continuous copper tube
fixed in a serpentine arrangement upon the upper surface. Low pressure hot
water feeds through the circuit and transfers heat to the lower, emission
surface for comfort heating via radiant transmission. Insulation prevents
any heat escaping into the ceiling void. Not restricted to standard ceiling
grid sizes, the radiant ceiling panels may be freely suspended and shaped to suit individual
requirements, the circuitry of the heating medium is designed for optimum
space and performance.

SPC's Thermatile Plus radiant ceiling panels have extensive appeal to specialists in the fields of
architecture, consultancy, specification and engineering…in fact, any
discipline concerned with the quality of people's working and leisure
environments. Applications for overhead heating and cooling serve all areas
within the industry: from prestigious new build projects to refurbishments &
extensions (whether large or small).
|
|
|
|
The Thermatile Plus radiant ceiling panel has proved to provide greater
energy-savings when compared to other types of heating, such as wall-mounted
radiators and fan convectors, a factor of particular importance to
consultants and engineers working on Private Finance Initiative (PFI) projects,
looking to keep whole life costs as low as possible - although, economy and
quality is important in any area of UK construction and build.

|
Through SPC's Continuous Improvement Programme the Thermatile Plus radiant ceiling panel has been
developed with particular emphasis on innovation. The most innovative
feature of the Thermatile Plus radiant ceiling panel being the construction of the panel
itself which offers the following new advantages:
|
|
|
|
 |
Improved heat transfer due to unique corrugation construction
of the radiant ceiling panel |
|
|
|
Superb structural strength (weight/deflection ratio) enables suspension
of the radiant panel with fewer fixing points
|
|
|
|
Plain panels can include hinged doors for access to the ceiling void
|
|
|
|
Radiant panels no longer confined to rectangular shapes but can be curved, triangular or indeed awkward
|
|
|
|
An extensive range of metallic, painted and coated finishes are available
|
|
|
|
Pre-cut openings in the radiant panels may be provided for lights, smoke detectors, sprinklers, air vents, etc
