    Obnova

    Now with most
    coming up to their 50th year, parts of the building’s fabrication are in need
    replacing. The pipework in particular,
    installed in galvanised steel is now reaching its service life. One such project is Cynthia House in Poole, Dorset where the steel pipework is undergoing a complete
    overhaul. The steel will be replaced by a
    plastic alternative; Uponor’s Multi Layer Composite pipe (MLCP), a plastic pipe
    with an aluminium layer. Renovation
    projects such as this one are taking place more regularly, and as the price for
    metal products continue to rise.



    The renovation carried Preheat of (Poole) involved the complete replacement of all the galvanised
    steel service pipework, installed from day one on the project. Painted galvanised steel only has a service
    life of 40 or so years; corroding from the inside out, causing leaks, reducing
    water pressure and some cases bursting. As
    with many social housing refurbishments the work needed to take place with the
    occupants still residing within the building so minimal disruptions was needed.
    Too heavy to bring down Pre-heat had to saw the pipe into shorter, more
    manageable lengths to get material off site.



    The Uponor MLCP that replaced the steel was
    delivered on site in lightweight straight lengths of either 3m or 5m. Uponor’s MLC pipe is recognised for being a
    market leader in the flexible plumbing market. The pipe possess a 100% oxygen tight construction (which prolongs the
    life of your pumps and other equipment sensitive to corrosion), limited
    expansion and smooth internal bore (allows the pipe to be used in hot and cold
    water, as well as heating applications without deterioration in the pipe’s size
    or shape). Lastly the professional
    ‘press-fit’ jointing system is reliable and free of hot works.

    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. 
     

    Ensuring In-Home Safety with AquaSAFE™

    Jesse Faust, a former Madison firefighter and EMT, sustained partial paralysis after a severe car accident in 2022. During the construction of his new home, Faust prioritized fire safety, and after seeing how commercial buildings benefit from sprinkler systems, he chose to incorporate a residential solution with Uponor AquaSAFE™ — a multipurpose PEX piping system that combined with his home’s AquaPEX® plumbing.
