Our Brief History
Variotherm is an Austrian family-owned company which has been producing and selling economical and environmentally-friendly heating and cooling systems since 1979. We place great emphasis on the use of natural materials during product manufacture. Find out more about the Variotherm success story.
40 years of Variotherm
Four decades ago, the visionary Wilhelm Watzek founded the company and introduced low-temperature skirting heating systems to Austria. 20 years ago, his son Alexander took over Variotherm from him and he has continued the success story, developing many further low-temperature systems for heating and cooling.
Variotherm continues to grow
A 650 m² extension to the company’s head quarters is creating space for new offices, a consultation and training centre including a showroom, a research and development area and the VarioCafé. Of course, it is all fitted with the most modern Variotherm technology to be experienced at first hand.
Well spaced and cleverly rolled
After months of development and research the new VarioManifold 5.0 heating/cooling distribution manifold has been introduced into the market. Thanks to the compact development of the sound impact polystyrene the air pockets have been minimised and the VarioRoll is even more transport and storage friendly.
New Production Line for VarioComp
2015 represented a major milestone for Variotherm with the commissioning of a new production line for our modular floor heating product Variocomp. With this high volume automated manufacturing equipment we are ready for the major increase in demand we are experiencimng for variocomp in both domestic and export markets.
Sound – reliable – solid
VarioSolid has been developed for economical and cost-efficient heating of large surfaces, such as production halls, storage areas and other industrial spaces. The extremely solid Variomodular pipe 20×2 has been specifically designed for use in the industrial sector.
Acoustics
The approved ModuleCeiling Cooling/Heating system is now available with a sound absorbing surface.
The system wall heating and the “Varioclimate pipe”
Fascinated by the idea of large-area radiant heat, we built our first system wall heating systems in 1987/1988, which we also patented (with breathable sub-panels and heat-conducting eco heating plaster!). In 1996, we developed the “Varioclimate pipe”, which feeds hot water to our heat-storage stones and has been the core component of our wall and floor heating systems ever since. Speaking of environmentally friendly heating, since 1996 we have born the IBO quality seal from the Austrian Institute for Healthy and Ecological Building for our system wall heating and are to date the only wall heating manufacturer to have received this award.
The success story begins
The Variotherm success story began in the autumn of 1979, in a small business office in the 10th district in Vienna. The aim in founding the company was to make the best possible use of the production patent for our skirting heaters, which at the time was completely new. Low-temperature skirting heating systems, which compared to all other models on the market, guarantee a significant improvement in effectiveness.
