Underfloor heating and cooling

Minitec - retrofit underfloor heating

Minitec - low building floor heating with quick response time

Thanks to its minimal depth of around 1 cm, Uponor Minitec is the perfect system for renovation projects. The Uponor Minitec sheeting element, with the Uponor PE-Xa pipes measuring 9.9x1.1 mm, is easy to lay on existing screed, timber or tiles. The adhesive layer on the back of the sheet guarantees a secure bond during installation. The levelling layer is installed just above the studs, resulting in an increase in floor height of only 16 mm. Minitec is also possible to be installed with defined floor insulation materials. The special design of the sheeting elements ensures that the levelling compounds flow well and can bond directly with the substrate.
