Rosario Heating Ltd is a domestic and commercial heating engineer based in London. When called to work on a prestigious property renovation in Notting Hill, Savio Rosario knew that Walraven RapidRail® would be his preferred solution for the extensive pipework installation throughout this large residential property.
“We have been using Walraven RapidRail® for about 3 years now. We used to use standard 41×41 strut and fixings for our plant rooms and pipework but when we saw another installer using Walraven RapidRail®, we wanted to give it a try. The lightweight channel and fixings are so convenient, we find it much easier to fix to both ceilings and walls for horizontal and vertical pipe runs.”
The luxury property was undergoing an extensive renovation including the construction of an extra basement living level, that would also house a heat pump plant room. Rosario Heating Ltd were contracted to install the plant room and pipework that needed to be extended throughout the property, on all levels to deliver an efficient heating solution.
“This property required a huge amount of pipework to be installed from the plant room, along the ceilings and walls, and through risers to all levels. We knew that RapidRail® would be a great solution having used it on many installations before. Not only is it easy to use but it gives a very professional look, which is important to some clients.”
The way it was used on this project was mainly through the creation of pre-fabricated brackets on site. The installer measured and planned the bracket requirements for each section of the build, cut the channel to length and pre-assembled with end caps, Hammerfix and pipe clamps, before fixing to the ceiling (or wall).
This means a run of brackets can be assembled, with all the clips lined up before fixing. Small adjustments can still be made when in place, if required, as the Hammerfix can simply slide before tightening.
“The Hammerfix slide nut with pre-cut lengths of stud is a real game changer for us. Saves all the time and hassle of cutting your own stud lengths for pipe clamps. Plus the adjustability before tightening just helps it all go smoother without having to take anything apart!”
