After listening to its customers, Uponor, one of the UK’s most innovative providers of heating systems, has re-launched its One Pack product.
Uponor’s One Pack concept offers customers an easier way of quoting, buying and stocking bespoke underfloor heating systems by minimising the list of components to choose from and reducing quote to delivery times.
Neil Young, Uponor’s indoor climate applications manager, said: “We launched our first One-Pack product around three years ago. The concept gave installers the power to order everything they need for a complete wet underfloor heating system without needing to get into the schematics allowing installers to plan their time an eradicate the need to wait for drawings or quotes, so they can manage their own projects from order through to installation.
“After receiving their feedback, we have simplified the selection process which we feel will make our One Pack product much more user friendly.”
The new concept will see all timber suspended packs removed and the new and improved One Pack will now feature 16mm PEX pipe in 80m coils, which replaces the former 75m MLCP (multi-layer) giving a larger pipe coverage and improved efficiency, new wired Digital Programmable ‘Auto Balance’ thermostats, Radio option with wireless Digital thermostats including “DEM technology” and a ‘no-water temperature control’ option. The introduction of these new thermostats will now mean that every one-pack supplied by Uponor will come with “Auto Balance Technology” as standard. This will benefit the user by saving them up to 12 per cent energy usage, a figure that has been independently tested and verified by several research institutes.
With One Pack, customers can log onto an online toolkit at www.one-pack.co.uk and submit their own underfloor heating criteria – all they need to know is the number of zones, the floor area of each zone in square metres, the manifold location and distance from each manifold to each zone – allowing an immediate calculation of the number of heating loops required for each flooring area. From there, Uponor will assemble a One Pack tailored to the specifications given by the customer and deliver it quickly to their local plumbers or builders merchant with all the tools required to complete the job including an installation guide. Uponor has also produced six easy to follow on-line video’s to walk the installer through the entire installation and set-up process.
