Pure feel-good atmosphere on the top floor
Klaus and Evelyn Brehm are particularly keen to create a wonderfully pleasant atmosphere. For their conversion, the couple therefore sought out expertise in the heating and cooling concept and opted for Variotherm products. Installed in the sloping ceilings, wall heating and cooling now ensures pure comfort.
Klaus and Evelyn Brehm are couples therapists and work in Vienna. They have fulfilled a lifelong dream in Strebersdorf: A house in the countryside. The atmosphere in their new home was particularly important to the couple. After consulting the planner Martin Rührnschopf, the couple therefore chose the comfortable surface heating and cooling systems from Variotherm for the appropriate heating and cooling concept.
In contrast to all the other floors, it was not possible to install underfloor heating in the attic. It was also important to plan for cooling on hot summer days. The couple therefore relied on Rührnschopf's expertise and had a wall cooling system installed instead of a draughty and cost-intensive air conditioning system, which also serves as wall heating in winter, as Klaus Brehm explains:
“We hadn't dealt with the issue of heating and cooling before - apart from high heating costs in our previous old apartment. We are very happy with the wall heating and wall cooling. Because it does what it's supposed to do and we don't have to worry about anything. The invisible heating and cooling creates a wonderful room atmosphere.”
His wife Evelyn is also enthusiastic about the quality of Variotherm wall heating and cooling:
“When you enter the room, you can feel a great indoor climate. You can help shape a lot of things, but the warmth and cooling is what makes a room so good! We are really happy with our choice and simply have a good atmospheric feeling without having to think about where this feeling comes from.”
Klaus and Evelyn Brehm feel completely at ease in their new home. The Variotherm surface heating and cooling systems may not be visible, but they are effective. By using the sloping roofs for wall heating and wall cooling, these surfaces are activated and can therefore be used perfectly. In combination with a water heat pump, the result is not only an energy-efficient indoor climate in both summer and winter, but above all a pleasant one.
