It has been a great year for awards with RAUVIPEX shortlisted for four industry awards a true recognition of innovation and teamwork.

H&V News Awards – Commercial HVAC Product of the Year
HVR Awards – Ancillary Product of the Year
Ireland Plumbing & Heating Magazine – Innovative Product of the Year
UKDEA Awards – Heat Network Innovation of the Year

In addition to these awards shortlists, RAUVIPEX has been selected to feature in the first edition of the ADE’s Showcasing Innovation Report.

Awards such as these recognise the huge effort in launching a new system solution that addresses the sectors most pressing challenges, including thermal efficiency, facilitating faster installations, ensuring system longevity, and reducing lifecycle emissions.

Developed based on extensive industry feedback and experience, RAUVIPEX offers the optimum combination of thermal performance and flexibility. The newly developed PU foam and outer jacket combination offer 20-35% reduced bending forces combined with similar PU-foamed pipes. This has been done without compromise to structural integrity, with the newly designed outer jacket offering an SN8 rating, creating the first PU-foam pre-insulated pipe range to reach this standard. In addition, the system features a new innovative longitudinal water barrier offering a new level of protection against moisture ingress, even if the outer jacket is partially damaged.

Being acknowledged across multiple categories is a proud moment for us, and a true testament to the innovation and dedication from the whole REHAU team.
