PAROC Hvac GreyCoat

In places where HVAC installation is visible e.g. in shopping malls, public buildings and sports halls, you need to have a fire safe, clean and smooth end-result. With PAROC Hvac GreyCoat products you will get the desired result without any additional cladding or painting and, with its quick installation, you will save both time and money. The fire safety requirements for facilities have become stricter in EU countries and fire protection systems, equipment and procedures to ensure safety are needed more than ever. At the same time, the visual aspect of construction should not be understated. One of Finland's five university hospitals, Kuopio University Hospital (KUH), is currently being renovated into the country's most modern hospital. KUH is providing health care for over 840, 000 patients in Central and Eastern Finland and hundreds of patients are visiting the premises daily.

The hospital has several subprojects that are ongoing, one of which is the underground passage from parking hall to the industrial kitchen. The heat and water piping systems in the passage had to be insulated. Being responsible for the subproject, the insulation contracting company Itä-Suomen LVI-Eristys Oy had to find a fire safe and visually appealing HVAC insulation product.

Coincidentally, Antti Laine, product manager at Paroc, was looking at the same time for a long-term customer willing to test a new light grey facing for all PAROC Hvac products, called PAROC Hvac GreyCoat. It is an alternative to other commonly facings used in insulation applications such as PVC, but with no additional painting or cladding needed. GreyCoat faced pipe sections and tape offers a full system for quick and easy installation.

"My first impression of the product was very positive. I see this to be a great product to use in HVAC applications where PVC is forbidden." says Tapani Kojo, CEO of the company Itä-Suomen LVI-Eristys Oy. "I see GreyCoat as a product of the future. I would definitely use it again", Tapani Kojo sums up.
