Description
A sample of underfloor heating piping. The piping is surrounded by polystyrene panels, which are placed on acoustic blocks made from recycled tyres. Polybutylene plastic resins are flexible and linear and thus offer excellent resistance to creep at room and elevated temperatures. They also have high impact and tear strength. This kind of heating was used widely in the Olympic Village, London 2012.
