ducts. The duct divider creates a reserve capacity
for subsequent expansion.
RAUDUCT systems as well as PE cable ducts are
outfitted with REHAU trapeze grooving. This
optimizes the interior duct surface to reduce friction
values. In turn this results in increased blow or draw
in lengths of the fiber optic cables and protects
against cable jacket abrasion.

open fiber optic cables also results in decisive
advantages:
- Fiber optic cables can be opened in place without
separating the individual fibers
- A reduction of the number of spliced connections
at branches
- Simple and secure longitudinal cuts without
damage to the optical fibers
- Freely selectable cut-off lengths
- Easy handling
- Time and cost savings

ROOM ACOUSTICS IN WORK ENVIRONMENTS
INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS FOR SOUND ABSORPTION
REQUIREMENTS:
- New work methods and organizational
structures affect workplace design in
both new and renovated structures
- Open structures and large open-plan
offices permit grouping by need
- Areas efficiency is the central theme,
supported principally by movable
surfaces and the furnishings
- The complexity of work demands is
increasing
- Workers need private spheres to
perform tasks requiring concentration
- The significance of room acoustics is
increasing
26
SOLUTIONS:
- RAUVOLET acoustic-line is a cabinet shutter system with sound absorbing properties specifically
developed to meet the needs of modern office landscapes.
- The special profile geometry with its uniform perforation combined with a special sound absorbent
non-woven material results in a significant decrease in reverberations and thus measurably improves the
room acoustics.
- Reverberation measurements in accordance with ISO 354 substantiate that the RAUVOLET acoustic-line
offers a high level of absorption across the entire frequency range.
- The widest variety of surface decorations can be combined with various colors of the non-woven
material.
ADVANTAGES OF REHAU SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY:
In order to counteract the effects of irritating
noise, the topic of room acoustics can no longer
be ignored when planning modern office spaces.
In this regard, the interaction between ceiling
concepts, floors and furnishings represents the
decisive factor. At the same time, changes to
structural framework conditions have greatly altered
the options for improving acoustics. Modern heating
and air conditioning solutions such as concrete
core tempering stand in direct conflict with the
employment of large-surface acoustic tile ceilings.
The decisive advantages of sound absorption in the
facings on furniture lie in the resulting flexibility in
workplace design. The furniture can be positioned
where the noise level is highest and simultaneously
provides storage space. Solutions on casters or
portable units allow individual positioning as well
as permit the room structure to be optimized based
on need and thus meet both current and future
workplace demands.
RAUVOLET acoustic-line ensures audibility and
masks irritating background noises. Even in large,
open-plan offices, skillful arrangements can create
private zones for employees and simultaneously
promote concentration.
Working together with psychologists and the
acoustics department of the University of
Oldenburg, REHAU AG+Co developed a special ISE
test (Irrational Speech Effect) which describes the
effects of background noise on short-term memory
and underscores the influence of room acoustics on
concentration performance.
Outstanding system:
- “interzum award 2005” for outstanding product
quality
- “Design Plus 2005” (for the innovative
combination of outstanding functionality and
modern design with high-quality, groundbreaking
materials)
- “red dot award 2006”
- Nomination for the 2007 design prize of the
Federal Republic of Germany

SOLUTIONS FOR FUTURE DEMANDS –
CONTACT US
Save resources – save costs
In accordance with the Kyoto Protocol,
the EU has obligated itself to reduce
greenhouse emissions by eight percent
compared to the levels in 1990, divided
among the member states. In this regard,
Germany has taken on something of
an advance scout role and obligated
itself by 2012 to reduce the emission of
greenhouse gases by 21 % compared
to 1990 levels. Industrial operations in
particular therefore face new challenges:
Emissions must be recorded, registered
and documented. Reduction measures
must be planned and implemented
The simultaneous focus on renewable
energy in conjunction with the targeted
employment of effective rainwater
management results in potentially
significant economic and ecological
savings.
Saving energy
Improved energy efficiency and careful utilization
of resources are the essential goals of the energy
policy (global and national).
With the EU guideline covering the “total energy
efficiency of buildings” the EU member states will
initiate additional reductions in energy use for
example. The currently applicable energy savings
regulation (EnEV) in Germany with its discernable
further development as well as the renewable
energy law (EEG) require that companies in
particular adapt their overall real estate concept
(new buildings, expansion, existing structures)
to these guidelines in the medium- to longterm. Exploit the energy saving potential of your
properties through:
- The building shell
- Supply – cooling/heating
- Heating/cooling in connection with renewable
energy
- Waste water treatment
Solutions for industrial waste water
Industrial operations in particular are frequently
challenged by the chemical, thermal and
mechanical resistance capabilities of a pipeline
40
which must simultaneously tolerate high loads.
Modern polymer heavy-duty sewer pipelines must,
for example, meet demands with regard to ring
stiffness and chemical resistance which lie far
above those which proven. Traditional pipelines are
capable of handling, while simultaneously being
able to be laid comparatively more quickly, simply
and thus more cost-effectively. The suitability of
more economical fill in the trench and the use of
modern installation techniques offer additional
savings potentials. For waste water treatment in
an in-house industrial facility employing a polymer
aeration system, the goal is to reduce operating
costs by combining minimal pressure losses and
intermittent operation as well as outstanding longterm performance of the employed materials with
very favorable oxygen yields.
Universal connecting system for industrial
media
Against the background of growing demands for a
more economical and simultaneously qualitatively
problem-free operation of pipelines, polymer
universal connecting systems are increasingly
gaining in importance. Economical solutions with
little cutting loss, low installation expenses and
therefore greater installation friendliness without
compromising the safety level demand pipe
and connecting technologies that have proven
themselves millions of times over and can be
adapted to serve individual applications. Beyond
this, in conjunction with complex production
processes, planned fire protection concepts must
be implemented without compromises with regard
to supply and installation.
Windows and curtain walling
Large window elements with narrow face widths
are the current focus of modern architecture. These
create light-flooded urban living areas which offer
the user a motivating work environment. The latest
adhesive technologies for PVC windows permit
large-format window elements which also meet
future requirements with regard to stability and
energy efficiency. Polymer curtain walling systems
as an alternative to glass/aluminum and steel/glass
designs today represent attractive solutions for
economical design demands, security and future
orientation. Technologies utilizing thermal solar
collectors or photovoltaic elements can be planned
for inclusion and special solutions for the renovation
of existing steel constructions can be implemented.
Electronics installation
Innovative office equipment with intelligent valueadded solutions directly influence the performance
of ever-changing office processes. Electronics are
specifically tailored to certain tasks in individual
work areas – particularly in the non-territorialoffice, for desk sharing and in project zones. In this
regard, high demands are placed on the design of
the office as a living space in harmony with rational,
adaptable installation technology.

one or more of these challenges?

manufacturers in the area of polymer
systems technology for the construction
