With a passion for innovation Uponor is proud to be the primary supplier of pipe work and underfloor heating to one of Britain´s most breathtaking buildings. Thunderbird is a £3.9M development in Poole and is based on the home of Jeff, Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan Tracey, of the popular 60´s TV show with the same name.

The project spectacularly covers 200m² and is set in landscaped gardens with a large pool and fountain, with water an obvious feature throughout the property. With an open plan design and top specification equipment, every inch of this house has been planned to the last detail. With so many innovations happening in the house at one time deadlines had to be met.

The contemporary approach to the project meant that wall space as well as clean lines was imperative to the overall appearance of the project. As a result Uponor Multi Layer Composite pipe was used in the underfloor heating application as well as the highly efficient plumbing system. The plumbing consisted of approximately 1000m of Uponor MLC pipe, and the underfloor heating around 3,500m of the same material.

To control the whole system Uponor Ltd incorporated the advanced weather compensating control device, 'UP36'. This ultra modern home needed the very latest techniques, so installers LA Heat used 'pressfit' technology to work in enclosed conditions with outstanding results, in a fraction of the time.
The decision to use Uponor MLC pipe was taken because it has the advantages of flexibility and quick installation time. Uponor MLC pipe uses a very simple press fitting system that offers a strong connection that dramatically reduces the time of installation. The pipe is available in coils between 50 and 500 metres as a result the number of joins in the underfloor is minimal, and does not affect the flow of water in the underfloor heating, especially in projects of this size. For the installer, Uponor offer direct contact with an experienced technical team to aid in the installation of such an unusual project.

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.
