Sliding system for which it is typical that hot-water pipes move inside the insulation when thermally lengthened (shortened) and which it does not transfer forces onto the pipe as its positioning in insulation is sliding.
The insulation and protective jacket stay still in relation to the surrounding environment and the bond between the mineral wool, PUR foam and protective jacket is fixed.
Pipelines may be installed:
Under the ground (not in channels) in the HDPE jacket
Above the ground in the SPIRO jacket.
The structure of pipes and components working as a sliding system is demanding from the technical perspective and requires cooperation with company employees as early as during the preparation of the initial design of the system.
