 One of the most crucial elements of a radiant panel heating design is an accurate, room-by-room heat-loss analysis.  Uponor's Advanced Design Suite (ADS) software not only calculates heat loss, but it also removes the guesswork by guiding the system designer through every step of radiant floor heating (RFH) system design, including system-performance requirements, panel design and mechanical specifications.

Uponor has added high-density polyethylene (HDPE) corrugated sleeves to its ½" Wirsbo AQUAPEX^® tubing for use in hot and cold water distribution systems. The corrugated sleeve provides protection for installations in concrete slabs or soil, and allows for easy removal and replacement of the tubing if required. In addition, the red and blue color-coded sleeves easily identify hot and cold water lines.
