Keeping It Cool in the Desert with ThermaEco FRZ

In partnership with Dutch Farm Design (DFD), Thermaflex delivered a high-performance insulation system for a major poultry facility in Saudi Arabia. Known for its scorching heat  - often over 40°C - the region posed a unique challenge: maintain reliable climate control across factory and office spaces.

PROJECT GOAL

The project had a clear purpose: design and install an insulation solution that could withstand both extreme heat and humidity. From hatchery operations to administrative offices, every part of the facility required thermal stability.
To ensure long-term results, we combined precision planning with the right materials. Alongside the installation, our experts trained the local team using a “learn by example” approach, meaning sharing practical skills on the live on-site project.

How ThermaEco FRZ Took the Heat and the Cold

ThermaEco FRZ Tubes provided the perfect fit for this challenge. These closed-cell polyethylene tubes are built for demanding environments. Here’s how they made a difference:

  • Exceptional thermal performance: They keep hot water hot and cold water cold, even in extreme climates.
  • Built-in vapour barrier: They prevent condensation and corrosion—ideal for humid conditions.
  • Quick and easy installation: ThermaEco FRZ Tubes are light, flexible, and simple to cut and seal.
  • Custom-fit options: We used them to insulate valves, bends, flanges, and more.
PROJECT PROCESS

Turning Plans Into Action

Our on-site progress followed a clear and consistent rhythm. Each day, the team focused on building, testing, and refining
essential insulation system components. We insulated manifold units, pumps, and valves. Wall and floor brackets were mounted directly above the insulation. We paid close attention to the installation of flange-to-flange connections and oversized bends. All prefabricated parts – such as elbows, T-pieces, and reducers – were prepared with care. For insulation thickness, we applied 5 and 10 mm FRZ sheets and 9 mm FRZ Tubes inside the technical rooms and attic. This approach guaranteed consistent thermal protection throughout the facility.

More Projects, Less Energy Waste

This project proves that extreme environments pose no snag for the right insulation strategy. With the right partners, even the toughest climates can support sustainable, efficient operations.
At Thermaflex, we look forward to helping more companies future-proof their facilities – pipe by pipe, system by system.
