KaRo radiant ceilings = heating and cooling climate control thanks to the movement of water.
The economic and ecological solution for maximum comfort!
-
Our ceilings are installed in many office buildings, such as the CNIT near Paris's La Défense metro station, and corporate headquarters.
In offices, the KaRo metal ceiling is prized for its thermal and acoustic performance, as well as its modular design.

The KaRo Capillary Mattes is the ideal climate control solution for rooms with plaster ceilings.
This system also performs well in hospitals and homes. The mattes provide superior thermal performance, while maintaining the clean esthetic and finish of a plaster ceiling.

The Thermoactive Prefabricated Slab by KaRo-Rector is our latest radiant ceiling innovation.
By incorporating piping directly into the concrete slab, we have been able to reduce contruction costs and improve thermal performance, by exploiting the concrete slab's own inertia (Active Ceiling system).

Radiant ceilings help to preserve the environment.
By using radiation as a heat exchange mechanism, and by using water at moderate temperatures, radiant ceilings reduce energy costs by 50%, and can be coupled with environmentally-friendly energy sources (heat pumps, geothermal power, etc).
KaRo radiant ceilings offer superior comfort, and help preserve the environment!
KaRo Systems designs and distributes Radiant Ceilings.
This modern technique for heating and air conditioning allows you to save large amounts of energy, while offering superior comfort to traditional air conditioning systems.
With over 30 years of experience, we have never stopped innovating: first with our Capillary Mattes KaRo and more recently with the Thermoactive Prefabricated Slab.
We have also designed metal ceilings, a technology specially adapted to office spaces and large buildings.
Capillary Mattes
A flat layer of closely-knit tubes spaced very close together mimics a homogeneous layer of water. This system is flexible, and adapts well to any ceiling configuration including, but not limited to, plaster, plasterboard and metal tray ceilings. |
Metal Ceilings
Metal ceiling trays specially outfitted with copper piping. A modular solution that can adapt to any ceiling geometry. Well-suited to office buildings. |
Thermoactive Prefabricated Slab
Multilayer plastic piping is pre-set inside a prefabricated concrete slab. This system reduces installation costs and allows the piping to make use of the concrete flooring’s inertia to its benefit (Activated Ceiling). |

The radiant ceilings exploit the natural phenomenon of energy exchange through radiation. This phenomenon is the same that brings us heat from the sun; No ventilation is necessary for our climate control system. The ceilings are heated or cooled thanks to integrated piping that flows water through the ceiling. The radiant ceiling will spontaneously exchange heat with the rooms it covers and will either heat or cool the room, whether you run hot or cold water through the piping, respectively. |
The advantages of installing radiant ceiling climate control is that with a large surface area, we can obtain very powerful heating or cooling, using only running water within a small temperature range (between 15°C and 35°C). This small range allows our system to be compatible with any renewable energy source (Solar, geothermal, etc...) KaRo ceilings are often installed in buildings with high energy needs aiming to obtain energy performance labels such as the BBC, Minergie and higher performance ratings. |
