Professionally prepared Quotes and Designs

The Uponor technical team is second to none, with most members of the team having a background in CAD, and Building Services Engineering. The team has the facility to produce detailed technical drawing to suit every possible need. All we require is an architectural drawing of the project with dimensions and heat loss figures. Uponor innovation and use of technology allows the process from enquiry to completed job to run smoothly, providing the end user with a more efficient and simplified process.

Full schematic electrical, plumbing, floor construction and pipe layout drawings are provided for each project, based on the individual information supplied.

Easy Procurement

All Uponor products are available from major stocking merchants who we assist on a regular basis with training and marketing material to aid our customers at the point of sale.

Specialist Training Academy

The popularity of the Uponor Training Academy has led to significant additional investment in our training facilities. From introductory course in Underfloor heating and plumbing to our complex Design Consideration and Controls course especially created for M&E Contractors and Specifiers, Uponor can offer the whole training package.

In addition, on-line training materials can be accessed on our website: www.uponor.co.uk

PEX 20 Underfloor heating

• 20mm PEX pipe with its’ wider pipe spacings reduces the amount of pipe required and the number of loops from the manifold.

• The highly robust pipe construction withstands the everyday rigours of onsite working.

• Modular manifolds which can be built up to the required number of flow and returns creates flexibility in system design.

• Individual technical design allows varied parameters, in particular to benefit from the use of low temperature heat sources.

• Systems available for all floor construction systems/methods.

• Live tested for over 30 years in an over-temperature/over-pressure configuration.

Uponor Control Systems

• The latest edition to the Uponor Control System has a choice of Radio and Wired thermostats which are now available to suit the varying need of home owner and the commercial client.
