The Uponor Minitec product line Fast installation, short heat-up time: Uponor Minitec offers you a range of advantages. The Uponor Minitec foil element for aying the Uponor l PE-Xa pipes 9.9 x 1.1 mm can be installed on any existing screed, timber or tiled floor. Thanks to the low element height of around one centimetre, it is particularly suitable for integration into existing buildings. The nub foil is equipped with punched holes in and between the nubs, which ensure, that the levelling compound can spread easily and bonds firmly with the sub- structure. The rear side of the elements is...

Minitec components Uponor Minitec foil element Uponor PE-Xa pipe The sturdy Uponor nub foil elements can be walked on instantly and ensure fast and efficient installation of the Uponor PE-Xa pipes by a single technician. They are suitable for all room geometries and do not need to be installed right to the edge of the floor. The flexible Uponor PE-Xa pipes 9.9 x 1.1 mm are placed in the prepared grooves of the Uponor Minitec nub foil elements. They are held in place by the naps of the foil, ensuring that the installation meets the relevant standards. The foil is equipped with specially...

Design basics Temperatures Floor surface temperature Special attention must be paid to the floor surface temperature, taking into account medical and physiological considerations. The difference between the mean surface temperature of the floor and the design indoor temperature, together with the basic characteristic, form the basis on which the capacity of the heating floor surface is calculated. The maximum surface temperatures are determined by the limit heat flow density defined in DIN EN 1264, which is taken into account as the theoretical design limit in the design tables and...

Calculations Design tables for approximate calculations The design tables allow for quick approximate calculation of the pipe laying distances and maximum heating circuit size. They do however not replace proper planning and calculation of the project. Instructions for the use of the design tables: 1. Select the design table for ϑi = 20°C 2. Select the row of the predefined max. design heat flow density qdes of your project (not for bathrooms!) 3. In this row, select a design flow temperature uV,des 4. Read the required installation distance Vz and the max. heating circuit size AFmax from...
