Get rid of plasterboard and discover Radius Active

Radius Active

Just install pre-coupled radiant panels.

With RADIUS ACTIVE radiant activators, installation is freed from a heavy burden and everything becomes easier, lighter and faster.

And the system will be even more efficient and versatile.

What is RADIUS ACTIVE?

Radius Active is a radiant activator with which you can create ceiling and wall surfaces that can be covered with all types of plasterboard sheets and also with wood or metal. Eg: standard, fireproof, water-repellent, sound-absorbing, graphite for very high thermal outputs, etc.

The added value that Radius Active activators give to the ceiling is such that they deserve to be covered with the most specific sheets for radiant heating and cooling system such as high density ones (up to + 10% yield) or, even better, graphite ones that increase performance by as much as 30%.

These sheets are produced by leading brands such as Knauf and Gyproc.

Main features

Radius Active activators are characterized by:

Extreme ease of installation

Very high thermal outputs that allow to reduce the active surface required or to use lower supply fluid temperatures in heating and higher temperatures in cooling, reducing consumption.

No interference between the work of the plasterer and the plumber

Self-balancing and self-venting

Very light, they do not require any type of tool for assembly, only your hands

The structure

The structure is supplied directly by Messana as it is optimized for the assembly of the activators and is quicker to install than a normal structure as it does not require orthogonal hooks and automatically guarantees the correct distance between the lower profiles for the insertion of the activators.

The profiles, supplied by Messana, are part of the system and allow a more precise and quicker installation of the structure.

The finish

The application of the plasterboard sheets is done only at the end of the assembly and testing of the entire radiant ceiling; this makes the surface finishing operation much faster and, being done in a single phase, and not in two as with the pre-coupled panels, allows for a better final result (less fragmentation of the sheets, fewer joints to fill, greater flatness and… lower costs).

An important advantage for plasterboard installers, a better result for users.

Thermal uniformity = more yield

: This infrared image demonstrates the extreme uniformity of the surface temperature of Radius Active (standard plasterboard).

This means extremely high thermal output, as confirmed by the certifications.

Reliability

RADIUS ACTIVE draws its origins from the over thirty-year experience of Roberto Messana, the father of modern radiant heating and cooling system, and from the new lifeblood of ideas brought by his son Daniele, and represents the synthesis. Thanks to the special joints contained in the panels, which can be defined as “absolute joints” since they combine the simplicity of the quick coupling (without external joints!) with an exceptional hydraulic seal and mechanical retention, RADIUS ACTIVE has all the connections inside it, also managing the sliding of the pipe, thus absorbing the thermal expansions.
