German Pre Packed Houses.

[SimonG]

Anybody an experience of these beasts. Went to see a prospective customer yesterday who's having one of these built later in the year. They want underfloor heating and rads running off an air to water heat pump.

Just want to know if anybody has had any issues with running pipework etc in the houses once complete.

The concrete raft is laid and then the house turns up on the back of an artic and gets assembled over 4 or 5 days.

Cheers.

We worked on one of these when I was an apprentice. They are just a whole house built of stud work.
I seem to remember we fitted underfloor heating on insulation straight on the concrete base for the ground floor and rads on the first.
Can't remember having any problems.

I did a small "outhouse" as the very rich man called it ! I would call it a mansion ! Gotta say pretty impressive ! He wanted rad in there as it was his man cave !

I worked on an accomodation block once and they had all these pre plumbed panels think these were a foreign concept

Cheers Steve, appreciate the offer, early days though. Just trying to find if there's issues with pipe runs etc.

It's 'Huff Haus' but not. It's along those lines but a different manufacturer.

I've got paperwork all over the desk just doing my heat loss calcs, from the data the manufacturer has provided it's looking very efficient on the insulation front. U values of 0.16 for walls, 0.7 for triple glazed windows (and there's a lot of glass) and 0.14 for the roof. Full ground floor underfloor heating and partial upstairs with either rads or thermaskirt and a few towel rails thrown in. Master bathroom, little en-suite and cloak room downstairs. Looks very much like a swiss chalet, vaulted ceilings and all.

Looking at the poly plumb underfloor. Conventional downstairs and overlay upstairs.
