Uponor Housing Solutions Overview
Uponor Housing Solutions provide heating systems for all building types, from
one bedroom flats to large public buildings.
We offer real solutions for both underfloor and radiator heating systems,
including intelligent controls. We are at the forefront of heating innovation,
providing a complete comfort experience to all our users.
Our facility at Lutterworth has seen rapid expansion in the last two years, and
now houses the UK‘s largest, professionally qualified, technical team in the
Heating Solutions industry. In Sept 2007 we opened our
regional specification centres in Glasgow and Crawley, to complement our Dublin
premises opened in 2006 and our head office in the Midlands.
Our level of expertise is regularly called upon as a reference point by the
professions, third-party manufacturers and users alike. Indeed our slogan ‘no
sales without support’ shows our dedication to always inaugurate support before
a project takes place. On a practical level we appreciate our products are only
as good as the technician who installs them. That is why in 2004 we opened our
own dedicated training academy which allows our customers to learn about the
theoretical aspects of underfloor heating, then putting this knowledge into
practice in our practical suite, giving the best results to the end user.
Uponor Product Offerings
Uponor Multi-layer Composite Pipe
Uponor MLCP is a perfect solution for many types of plumbing and heating
installations. We produce over 50 million metres of this innovative, Multi-layer
Composite Piping (MLCP) system every year for world–wide applications, making it
the market leader. Imagine, a pipe with all the advantages of metal and plastic
but with none of the disadvantages;
• Diffusion Barrier - The aluminium core is absolutely diffusion tight; it
reliably prevents the ingress of oxygen
• High form stability
• High bending flexibility
• Low heat expansion - It compen- sates and reduces snap-back forces and heat
expansion with changes in temperature
• Easy jointing - The system is designed for easy, safe and fast pipe
installations; cut to length, bevel, join and press … simple
Currently available in 12 sizes ranging from 12-110mm, Uponor MLCP is now the first genuine
pipe for all plumbing and heating applications.
