A true pioneer, Uponor sets the highest standards for plumbing, heating and residential fire protection. Just one example of this is crosslinked polyethylene tubing for potable water systems (PEX-a), first introduced by Uponor in the 1960s. Today, 12 billion feet of Uponor PEX-a is installed worldwide. It has become the trust solution for residential and commercial plumbing/heating systems, as well as multi-purpose plumbing and fire sprinkler systems for both one- and two-family homes. Over three decades of proven excellence have shown that when properly designed, installed and operated, Uponor PEX-a systems will last as long as the structures they inhabit.

The U.S. has recently embraced radiant heating as a cleaner and “greener” heating methodology; this same concept of heated water flowing under a surface can also be applied to snow and ice melting for driveways, sidewalks and parking areas, eliminating the need for shoveling, plowing, sanding or salting.  Radiant cooling employs an evaporative cooling method using the same tubing system and water source.
