Microflex part of ambitious renovation at Calverley Old Hall

Overview

Calverley Old Hall is an ancient manor that has been rescued by the Landmark Trust. Their sensitive restoration of this vulnerable property has been carried out in stages and to make the Old Hall more sustainable and environmentally friendly a ground source heat pump system will be delivering the heat to the building.

Detailed Description

Microflex has been selected to work alongside the ground source heat pump system to heat radiators and underfloor heating systems within the manor house buildings.

Microflex pre-insulated pipe is ideal for this type of project as it is flexible and durable. It helps to keep water at the same temperature as it travels from the heating source to the building and saves energy in the process which is why it was identified as the ideal solution to support the ambition to upgrade this property to more environmentally friendly heating.

The pipe was supplied by Watts and our National Key Account Manager James Turner explains why Microflex was the first choice for this project: “Calverley Old Hall is a complex site with several buildings which are being served by the heating system. Our Microflex system is composed of a thermal insulation around the carrier pipe that’s covered by a “closed chamber” protective UV- resistant casing.

For Calverley Old Hall, installing Microflex ensures that heat losses across the pipe work and system are kept to a minimum, supporting the Landmark Trusts ambition to deliver a more environmentally friendly and sustainable heating system.”
