REDUCING PROJECT COSTS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The Polar Bear Design Approach

Polar Bear Design has established a reputation for exceptional quality, refined aesthetics and intelligent control solutions, making it a trusted partner for luxury residential interiors and high-end developments.

In today’s market, even the most design-led projects must balance performance, cost, and visual impact. Two recent developments — the Virtual Thermostat and new Polymer Face Plates — work independently and in tandem to offer a smarter, more flexible approach to specification, enabling meaningful cost savings across installation, procurement and commissioning, without compromising the premium finish Polar Bear Design is known for.


Virtual Thermostat

  • Design freedom without compromise – Full thermostat control in every zone, even where wall space is limited or aesthetics are a priority.
  • Seamless BMS and AV integration – Works independently or integrates with your preferred BMS or AV system for centralised heating, cooling, and comfort control.
  • Scalable and cost-efficient – Add virtual zones via software to reduce hardware, installation time, and commissioning complexity.
  • Flexible hybrid solution – Combine physical thermostats with virtual zones for a tailored, design-led control strategy throughout the property.
Polymer Plastic Face Plates

  • A considered, cost-effective solution – Ideal for projects where budgets, lead times, or room priority call for a more economical specification without sacrificing visual consistency.
  • Lightweight, slim and refined – Designed to echo the clean, premium look of our brass face plates while offering greater flexibility and efficiency.
  • Designed for creative integration – Can be painted to blend seamlessly with wall colours and interior schemes, allowing controls to sit discreetly within the design.
  • Engineered to Polar Bear Design standards – Delivers the same commitment to quality, performance, and appearance for a cohesive result across the project.
  • Versatile compatibility – Available in black and white, and compatible with the Ursium Thermostat in both Euro-style Turn and Touch formats.


Greater Value Through Integration


While each innovation delivers individual cost benefits, their combined use can significantly reduce overall project expenditure — from manufacturing and procurement through to installation and commissioning. Smarter systems, streamlined design and uncompromising quality.
