REHAU Revolutionizes Home Comfort with Innovative Polymer Solutions - A Leesburg, VA Story
Leesburg, VA – November 8, 2023 – REHAU INDUSTRIES LLC, a leading global specialist in polymer solutions and headquartered right here in Leesburg, Virginia, is making waves in the home improvement and construction industries. For over 70 years, REHAU has been quietly innovating, crafting high-performance solutions that make modern life more comfortable, efficient, and sustainable. And they're not just about industrial applications; they’re about enhancing your home. You might not recognize the REHAU name, but chances are you interact with their products every single day. They’re the brains behind a lot of what makes modern buildings work, from piping systems hidden within walls to the window and door profiles framing your views. But they've been quietly expanding their focus to directly address homeowner needs, and the results are pretty impressive. Beyond Pipes: REHAU’s Expanding Footprint in the Home Traditionally known for its robust polymer solutions for industries like automotive and construction, REHAU has been strategically shifting gears to deliver more direct-to-consumer and contractor-focused products. This isn’t just a rebranding exercise; it’s a commitment to bringing their decades of material science expertise into the hands of people building and renovating their homes. “We’ve always been a materials company at heart,” explains Nick Emmanwori, a key figure driving product development at REHAU. “But we realized there was a huge opportunity to leverage our knowledge to create products that solve real problems for homeowners – things like improving energy efficiency, enhancing comfort, and simplifying installation.” What Does REHAU Offer the Modern Homeowner? Let’s dive into some of the key products REHAU is bringing to the market: RAUFINO Boxed Underfloor Heating: Forget cold tiles! This is a game-changer for anyone considering underfloor heating. It's not your grandpa's complicated system. The RAUFINO system comes in pre-configured boxes, making installation significantly faster and easier – even for DIY enthusiasts (though professional installation is always recommended!). It’s incredibly efficient, meaning lower heating bills, and provides consistent, comfortable warmth throughout the room. Emmanwori emphasizes, “We’ve taken a traditionally complex install and made it approachable. It's about making comfort accessible.” REHAU Window & Door Profiles: Okay, this one might seem less ‘flashy’, but it’s hugely important. REHAU manufactures high-quality vinyl (PVC) profiles used by window and door manufacturers. What does that mean for you? Better insulation, reduced noise pollution, improved security, and windows and doors that last for decades. They don't just make profiles, they engineer them for performance, considering everything from UV resistance to structural integrity. These aren’t your standard vinyl windows; they're designed to withstand the elements and save you money on energy bills. PEXa Plumbing Systems: Hidden within your walls, REHAU’s PEXa (crosslinked polyethylene) plumbing systems are providing reliable, flexible, and long-lasting water distribution. PEXa is a significant upgrade from traditional copper piping. It’s more resistant to freezing, easier to install (less fittings!), and it doesn't corrode. This means fewer leaks, lower maintenance costs, and peace of mind. “We’re talking about a system that’s built to last a lifetime,” says Emmanwori. “It’s a small investment that delivers big returns in terms of reliability and peace of mind.” Fiber Optic Solutions: While typically for larger installations, REHAU’s fiber optic technology is finding its way into smart homes, enabling lightning-fast internet speeds and reliable data transmission. This isn’t just about streaming Netflix in 4K; it's about future-proofing your home for the demands of a connected world. Sustainability at the Core REHAU isn’t just focused on performance; they’re deeply committed to sustainability. Many of their products are designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements. They also prioritize using recyclable materials and minimizing waste throughout their manufacturing processes. “We believe that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand,” explains Emmanwori. “We’re constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint and create products that are both high-performing and responsible.” Looking Ahead REHAU is continuing to invest in research and development, with plans to expand its product offerings even further. They're focused on developing smart home solutions, energy-efficient building materials, and innovative plumbing systems.
