Specifications and Performance
Metawell® radiant ceilings, made from aluminum panels with copper pipes, are designed for heating and cooling. They offer high performance due to the excellent heat conductivity of aluminum and copper. Heating capacity is measured according to DIN EN 14037-2, and cooling performance according to DIN EN 14240.
Installation Procedures
Installation is straightforward, using standard CD rails and drywall screws. Panels are mounted with a shadow gap, and copper tubes are connected to the room's piping system. Precise planning and coordination with architectural drawings are emphasized.
Applications and Benefits
Suitable for sports halls, hospitals, and office buildings, offering energy efficiency, fast response times, and improved room acoustics. Hygienic and easy to clean, ideal for hospital settings.
Room Acoustics
Metawell® panels improve speech intelligibility and reduce noise levels, available in various perforation patterns to optimize sound absorption across different frequency ranges.
Economic and Environmental Considerations
Economically efficient, requiring less energy and maintenance. Sustainable, as materials can be recycled at the end of their lifecycle. Dual functionality of heating and cooling reduces energy consumption and space requirements.
Perforation Patterns and Acoustic Elements
Various perforation patterns optimize cooling, heating, and sound absorption. Acoustic elements improve speech intelligibility by reducing reverberation time, featuring a thin yet rigid aluminum sandwich structure.
Product Specifications
Products like Basic 2000-W and Perfect 2000-W are detailed with dimensions, absorber classes, and sound absorption values. Available with or without LED lighting.
Lighting Technology
Metawell® panels support integrated lighting solutions, allowing for large cutouts for recessed luminaires without compromising structural integrity. LED workplace lighting specifications include luminaire length, voltage, power, color temperature, and luminous flux.
Supply Air Systems
Radiant ceilings manage room cooling loads with supply air introduced at low temperatures, ensuring horizontal airflow. Design tailored to room dimensions and air volume flow.
Design and Applications
Applications include ceiling elements with LED lighting in various international locations, showcasing versatility and aesthetic appeal.

Metawell® - different thicknesses Metawell® Metawell® is a patented aluminium sandwich panel that consists of two aluminium cover sheets and a corrugated aluminium core. The layers are glued together in a continuous manufacturing process. The aluminium is primered with a special coating, which guarantees a permanent adhesive connection and provides good corrosion protection. The light and rigid panels enable high weight savings, especially in large formats. Advantages at a glance: • Low weight and high rigidity (same statical performance as solid aluminium but up to 80 % lighter). • High corrosion...

Tongue & groove connection Metawell® panels can be installed in a simple, dimensionally stable and inexpensive way with a tongue and groove connection. • Simple: A groove is milled into two Metawell® panels using a customary slitting cutter. The Metawell® panels are then stuck together using a fitting connecting profile. • Dimensionally stable: Thanks to the 0.2 mm thick aluminium sheet used for the corrugation, which has high yield strength, the remaining corrugation parts stabilize the cover panels in the area of the groove and at the same time act like elastic spring elements. • Cost-effective:...
