    Uponor Quick & Easy has recently been recognised as the thinking man's solution to flexible plumbing, by being installed at Oxford University's Balliol College. The College has recently added to its accommodation facilities with the construction of the Jowett Walk Building (JWD), which was designed by London-based architects MacCormac Jamieson Prichard, and includes a total of nine towers that will house bedrooms, seminar/social rooms and a host of other amenities.


    The first stage of this prestigious project was the construction of three towers housing sixty-five bedrooms, with Uponor Ltd Quick & Easy pipes used to distribute heating to radiators throughout - meaning that thousands of metres of the cross-linked polyethylene pipe has been used during development. Uponor Quick & Easy PEX pipe was chosen for its flexible, light and easy-to-handle properties. The fact that installers did not have to use heat guns, naked flames or tricky-to-fit rubber seals meant that the time needed to complete the job was significantly reduced.

    Weber Hill Villas

    The Weber Hill Villas are comprised of 24 attached and detached single-family homes nestled along a quiet forest with lot sizes ranging from one-quarter to one acre. These LEED® and Energy Star® homes are ADA-compliant and built to withstand 250-mph, wind-blown debris. With a top-of-the-line design in mind, the team at Dale Hicks and Associates, LLC chose Uponor PEX piping systems for the plumbing and fire safety — a brand they have relied on for years. 
     

    “Uponor Construction Services designed the system, and we simply installed their design,” said Dale Hicks of Dale Hicks and Associates, LLC. “They have been of immeasurable service to us. I refer Uponor PEX to colleagues all the time.” 

    All 24 homes in the development feature Uponor AquaPEX® plumbing systems and AquaSAFE™ fire sprinkler systems with ProPEX® fittings in ½" to 1½" sizes. The multipurpose fire sprinkler systems seamlessly integrate into the home’s cold-water plumbing system, which increases the speed of installation and provides homeowners with greater peace of mind. 

    “Weber Hill Villas is just our latest development, and we will apply a lifetime of work, knowledge and innovation to make it truly world class,” explained Hicks.
