Polar Bear Design Zentium Pro: The Premium KNX Thermostat for Luxury UAE Projects

What Is the Polar Bear Design Zentium Pro?

The Polar Bear Design Zentium Pro is a premium smart thermostat designed for high-end residential and commercial installations across the UAE and GCC. Built by Polar Bear Design a British manufacturer operating since 2001 the Zentium Pro combines a full-colour OLED display, precision KNX-compatible climate control, and a hand-finished metal faceplate in a single wall-mounted unit. It is one of the most specified luxury thermostats in the professional home automation and building control market.

As the authorised UAE distributor, CACHE stocks the full Zentium Pro range, including standalone units and all integrated keypad variants, with B2B pricing available for registered dealers and system integrators.

Zentium Pro: Key Features for Integrators

The Zentium Pro is engineered specifically for professional installation in luxury projects. Here is what makes it a preferred specification for integrators working on high-end residential, hospitality, and commercial builds in Dubai and across the UAE:

  • Full-colour OLED display Shows live temperature, setpoint, humidity, and secondary zone readings at a glance. Clean, legible in all lighting conditions.

  • KNX compatible Integrates into KNX building automation systems and pairs with CoolMaster by CoolAutomation (also distributed by CACHE) for full HVAC bridging, giving integrators a complete climate-control stack from a single source. Fully programmable via ETS.

  • Precision rotary encoder Tactile, machined metal dial for temperature adjustment. Satisfying to use and consistent with the premium finish of the surround.

  • Multiple luxury finishes Matt Black, Satin Brass, Satin Nickel, and Antique Brass. Each faceplate is individually finished to specification.

  • Slim profile Designed to sit flush against the wall with a refined, minimal footprint appropriate for designer interiors.

Zentium Pro Variants: Integrated Keypad Combinations

A defining feature of the Zentium Pro is its ability to combine the thermostat display with a matching luxury keypad surround, integrating scene, lighting, and blind control into a single elegant plate. CACHE distributes all variants:

Zentium Pro & Crestron Horizon

Pairs the Zentium Pro thermostat with a Crestron Horizon keypad, finished in either Matt Black or Satin Nickel. Ideal for projects where Crestron is the primary control platform. The combined unit eliminates the need for separate thermostat and keypad boxes, delivering a cleaner wall plate solution for architects and interior designers.

Why Specify Polar Bear Design for Luxury Projects in UAE?

For integrators and interior designers working on HNWI residential, hospitality, or premium commercial builds in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the GCC, Polar Bear Design thermostats answer a consistent specification challenge: how to deliver a control point that performs to a technical standard whilst matching the material language of a designed interior.

Standard white plastic thermostat housings are not acceptable in rooms finished with marble, brushed metals, and bespoke joinery. The Zentium Pro's hand-finished faceplates available in warm metallics and neutral darks allow the thermostat to become a considered design element rather than a compromise. This is why Polar Bear Design is regularly specified by interior designers and fit-out contractors working on some of the most prestigious projects in the region.

From a technical standpoint, KNX compatibility ensures the Zentium Pro integrates cleanly into any building automation system without translation layers, and the OLED display provides occupants with clear, actionable climate information without requiring a separate app or touch panel. For HVAC-heavy villa and commercial builds, the Zentium Pro pairs directly with CoolMaster by CoolAutomation — also distributed by CACHE — to bridge VRV, VRF, and chilled-water systems from the same KNX bus.
