Climatización Invisible, Sistema Multicapa

Completion: 2008

Participación de Uponor

Following a highly successful trial period, Uponor Ltd's multi-layer pipe plumbing systems are now being used to upgrade a large number of Aberdeen's council houses. Uponor pipes will be used to replace existing installations that have gone beyond their useful life and will also be used in the City Council's drive to fit over 10,000 new heating systems to its homes over the next five to ten years.

Ensuring that the best, most cost effective materials were used in this project was obviously of paramount importance to any project on this scale, and it did not take long to convince Aberdeen Council that Uponor's easy-to-use systems would provide everything it was looking for in terms of reliability and ease-of-use.
