The Legalett GEO-Slab system provides for a faster and more efficient site preparation due to the use of a flat gravel bed. The simple installation of the Legalett GEO-Slab components in the slab also increases installation efficiency. Permanent edging units, which eliminate traditional formwork, allows a short construction time. (See typical Legalett installation)
Due to the Legalett foundation’s heat-storage properties, an even stable indoor climate is maintained even when there is a quick change in the weather. Legalett ensures warm and comfortable floors.
The quality of building construction and air changes affect building heating requirements. Modern construction practices together with a Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system and integral in-duct pre-heater offer a very pleasant indoor climate with the Legalett system.
The closed loop pipe system does not require cleaning or maintenance. The air pipes do not have the leakage risks of a water system. There is no limit to the lifetime of the pipe system.
The fan and the heating unit are installed in the closed system with easy access. This allows for ideal operating conditions during the lifespan of the heating unit. Should there be a need for servicing, the unit can be easily repaired or replaced.
As soon as concrete is poured, a Legalett Construction Heater can be connected to the pipe-heating system. This effectively dries out the slab evenly, a process that can continue throughout the construction period. In addition to extending the construction season, this has advantages for the entire building process. Painting and floor laying can be carried out at an earlier stage than with conventional construction methods. (Traditional building heaters need not be used in cold weather.)
