Retrofit Drywall Heating-Cooling Ceiling with 10 mm Pipe and Heat Conducting Sheets

Just 4 components needed to install a radiant ceiling

These four coordinated components make the BEKA 10 mm single pipe technology a flexible and cost-effective alternative when installing water-carrying ceiling heating and ceiling cooling in dry construction.

1The 10 mm 5-layer PE-RT heating pipe, durable, diffusion-proof and flexible for easy installation and problem-free integration into existing systems. Laying close to the surface guarantees that the heating-cooling ceiling reacts quickly.

2The aluminum heat conducting sheet, for fast and energy-efficient heat distribution on the ceiling surface and for a high heating and cooling capacity.

3BEKA profile clips, for the quick assembly of the heat conducting sheets in the drywall construction CD profiles.

4Mini distributor connection points for flow and return with quick-release couplings for the uncomplicated connection of the heating / cooling circuits.

Self-explanatory installation of the radiant ceiling

The installation of the ceiling heating is almost self-explanatory for specialist companies. After the profile clips have been snapped onto the basic profiles of the CD construction, the heat conducting sheet is clipped in. Then the 10mm PE-RT pipe is installed inside the sheets according to the required length and connected to the connection points by simple plug-in installation. The assembly process and important information are illustrated in the following video.

On the construction site flexibility is required. Our response: 10 mm single pipe technology

Frequently, adjustments to the ceiling design are necessary, especially in the final phase of interior construction. In such cases, the 10 mm single-pipe technology with heat conduction plates allows for a flexible response. Adjustments to the pipe arrangement for the ceiling heating system can still be made during installation thanks to the standardized dry construction method. Unplanned installations in the ceiling construction can be circumvented thanks to the flexible installation technology. Excess 10 mm single pipe for the heating and cooling ceiling can be reused elsewhere. This saves extra construction costs, time, hassle, and additional material.

There was a minor surprise during installation. The lights were suddenly wider than originally planned. So we had to change the ceiling layout again. The great thing about the single-tube system is that it can be flexibly adapted on site. Stijn Verheyen, Managing Director Clima Concept, Sales Belgium

The 10 mm PE-RT pipes of the ceiling heating system are laid in the aluminum heat conduction profiles at a distance of only 50 mm from each other, ensuring good heat conduction. The slight spring force of the profile clips presses the heat conduction plates onto the plasterboard. This contact is essential for good heating and cooling performance.

As an alternative to the installation of the drywall ceiling with heat conducting profiles, BEKA also produces plasterboards, which are already fitted with an inserted 10 mm PE-RT pipe at the factory. The prefabricated drywall panels are screwed directly onto the CD support profiles. This enables a further reduction in the number of assembly steps on the building site. The connection of these plates takes place in the same way as the installation with heat conducting profiles via plug connectors.
