With the tried-and-tested polybutene pipe (PB) at the heart, the Fonterra surface tempering system by Viega is particularly flexible. The areas of use extends from the flat Reno renovation range to classic underfloor heating and wall tempering. Now the processing advantages of the PB pipe are available in a total of five dimensions: The Fonterra pipe is immediately available in all nominal widths from 12 to 25 mm.
The polybutene pipe, which is manufactured in the Viega plastic pipe centre of excellence in Niederwinkling, is characterised by a high flexibility, even at low temperatures. Depending on the dimension and use, it is used on tacker, studded and gypsum fibreboard panels for underfloor heating. There are also several wet and dry systems available in the Fonterra range for assembly on the wall or ceiling.
This diversity also applies to the newly introduced PB pipe dimension. Already available in the nominal widths of 12 x 1.3 and 15 x 1.5 mm, the dimensions of 17 x 2.0 mm, 20 x 2.3 mm and 25 x 2.3 mm can now also be supplied. The pipes from 12 to 20 mm can be combined with the Fonterra Base or Tacker studded or tacker panels. The dimensions 20 x 2.0 mm and 25 x 2.3 mm are primarily designed for use in industrial properties, to activate components or for industrial panel heating. The Fonterra pipes are installed directly onto reinforced mesh or clip rails for such projects.
Fonterra – the System
Whether for use in new builds or for renovations, surface tempering systems fulfil a huge range of requirements. The Fonterra range by Viega offers complete systems for virtually any application. The range extends from simple studded panels or tacker systems to Fonterra Side wall panel heating, the Fonterra Top ceiling system and various special systems, for example for industry or sports halls.
