Dow's ClimateCare is a dealer for Rehau Heating Systems. You can find more information about Rehau at www.rehau.com. Please feel free to contact us about Rehau systems. RAUPEX Systems RAUPEX is REHAU's specially formulated cross-linked polyethylene (PEXa) pipe manufactured using the highly controlled Engel (peroxide) method. This technology produces a permanent, three-dimensional structure that greatly enhances temperature capability and long-term strength.

Radiant Floor Heating (RFH) Radiant Floor Heating directly affects the mean radiant temperature of a room by heating the exposed surfaces. The floor is directly heated and the walls and ceilings are heated by radiant energy (transfer) from the floor. Therefore, occupants benefit not only from the increase in ambient room temperature created by RFH systems but also from the increase in the mean radiant temperature. RAUPEX stands up to strenuous use making it well suited for hydronic heating systems. When used in conjunction with manually or thermostatically controlled supply - and return - flow valves that distribute water through the pipe and back to a boiler, the system transforms the entire floor into a warm-water, low temperature radiator. RFH systems can be used in a wide variety of building types including residences, schools, auditoriums, churches, retirement homes, supermarkets, hospitals, barns, warehouses and factories. The systems can be the primary heating source for the room or it can serve in combination with other auxiliary heating systems offering greater flexibility in selecting heat output.

Snow and Ice Melt (SIM) REHAU SIM systems are hydronic systems designed to augment the removal of snow and ice by circulating a heat transfer fluid (usually antifreeze and water) through RAUPEX pipe. With proper design and installation, our SIM systems will provide long-term performance and reliability in maintaining snow and ice free areas. Beyond the safety benefits, SIM systems can reduce indoor maintenance costs (no salt or water tracked inside), eliminate the costs of snow removal, reduce liability exposure and offer unmatched convenience. SIM systems can be installed in any number of different substrates including concrete, sandbeds and even under asphalt. A typical SIM control system works with conventional heating equipment. Automatic sensors not only turn the system on when snow starts and turn it off when surfaces are dry, but also adjust the fluid temperature to adapt to changing conditions.
