The striking Trade Fair Tower in Frankfurt, designed some 40 years ago by postmodern Architect Helmut Jahn, has been recently completely refurbished under the supervision of Italian Designer Matteo Thun. For the underfloor heating of the entire ground floor lobby area of around 1,100 square meters, the innovative Schlüter®-BEKOTEC-THERM system has been chosen. Here are some of the decisive criteria for selecting BEKOTECTHERM system: extremely reduced construction times, several weeks less when compared to traditional systems, a very important advantage for the Trade Fair Tower project.
Reduced thickness, a particularly important feature, where low heights are available. Schlüter®-DITRA uncoupling membrane, being part of the BEKOTEC-THERM system, allows free movement joint positioning and eliminates the risk of cracks appearing even in big slabs in ceramic tiles or natural stone. Last but not least, due to the low construction height with corresponding low thermal inertia, the tower managers can now expect significant energy savings. With a fully renovated lobby area, as well as the business restaurant “M Tower” on the ground floor, also with BEKOTEC-THERM underfloor heating, the Trade Fair Tower is now once again ready to welcome its visitors in an elegant and cosmopolitan style.
