Attics - the Holy 7 

• 1 Have you thought of everything?
  When building a roof extension, you should make sure that you have thought through a few specific technical issues. The statics play a "supporting role" in the truest sense of the word. It is also important that you provide sufficient thermal mass under the roof.

• 2 Use dry construction and save time and money
  Using dry constructions saves you time and a great deal of effort, and means that you can perfectly integrate Variotherm surface heating and cooling systems! Variotherm module panels for walls and ceilings are the perfect solution, and also save weight. The heating or cooling surfaces are already integrated, and fire protection is already installed!

• 3 The thinner the walls, the wider the rooms
  Every cubic centimetre counts! In other words: if you decide to install surface heating, you should use Variotherm module panels. They provide heating and cooling systems in combination with the wall. When it comes to the floor: with a thickness of just 20 mm, the compact floor heating system provides the best basis for a comfortable room climate without sacrificing valuable room height!

• 4 One skirting heating system fits under every roof!
  Variotherm skirting heating systems are a good alternative for heating an attic almost invisibly. Since they are preferably installed under sloping surfaces and with large glass areas, they fill up an otherwise unused space.

• 5 Old heating circuit - new Variotherm system under one roof.
  The heating system for the attic space is usually integrated into an existing system. The Variotherm pumped manifolds are designed just for this purpose. They mix the 60-70 degree flow temperature created in the boiler down to the level required for surface heating systems (30-35 degrees). The advantage: the heating room does not have to be completely converted.

• 6 How to prevent the attic from turning into a sweatbox.
  Cooling in roof areas is also a "hot topic". At Variotherm, we specialise in creating comfortable roof climates. Ideally suited for the purpose: pitched roofs.

• 7 People with fast regulation cool down more quickly
  It's important to have a fast-reacting system when it comes to regulation. If the weather changes from storm to sunshine in a matter of minutes, you need a system that can react just as quickly.
