1. Partnership for better
human environments

3. Fresh ideas for the future
Our dialogue with customers has resulted in continuously developing the
way we deliver services to construction projects.
As a leading provider of radiant heating and cooling, plumbing and
infrastructure solutions we aim to bring new ideas to practice and generate
better service to every partner in the process, all the way from investors
to installers. Our support in all stages of construction – right from the very
first concepts to buildings in use – contributes to the quality of the built
environment and the efficiency of the construction process.
The sustainability of buildings is becoming more and more important to
both society and our industry as a whole. Our solutions provide the best
basis for indoor comfort combined with the most efficient use of energy.
It is in the core of what we do.
This is why we partner with professionals: to create a better environment
in every meaning of the word.
Welcome.

Bangkok Airport
The airport has been designed
and planned by German-American
architect Helmut Jahn and is regarded
as a masterpiece of engineering. The
main building is the 444m long and
111m wide characteristic central

The Copenhagen Opera House
The Copenhagen Opera House by architect Henning Larsen is a new
landmark in the city. The foyer of the Opera House hosts 1,400 guests.
It is equipped with an Uponor radiant heating and cooling system, ensuring
a pleasant indoor environment both during the cold winters and warm
summers of Scandinavia. Altogether 18,000 metres of pipe were installed
in the foyer.

represent one of the most advanced
buildings in Great Britain. Uponor’s
installation is a futuristic plumbing

appliance to be individually isolated

Concord Pacific Place

The buildings, which contain over
300 units each, are plumbed with over
36,000 metres of Uponor tubing. Using
flexible PEX tubing eliminates joints
within the slab and cuts installation
time by approximately 50% when
compared with copper.
Water in the Vancouver area can
be acidic and can eat away copper
pipe over time. Uponor’s solution
resists aggressive water and soils,
making it much more reliable in
Vancouver‘s plumbing
