Low height system is an ideal retrofit solution


Designed for renovation projects, the new Uponor Siccus 16 dry underfloor radiant heating system from GF Building Flow Solutions is said to offer 40% faster installation. Featuring a lightweight, compact EPS panel with integrated aluminium heat distribution, it delivers an installation height of just 20mm and allows flooring to be laid directly on the panel without any additional layer. It also complements low-temperature heat sources such as heat pumps. Where structural conditions may

and high wet screed construction, thereby reducing construction costs. Another advantage is that installation only requires one person to complete the job. End-users are promised


comfortable temperatures all year round and thanks to its proximity to the surface it takes only 20 minutes for optimal heating performance to be achieved. A further benefit is that it can also be used as a low-energy cooling solution if used with heat pumps with a cooling function.


to ensure adequate operation and have a significantly shorter service life of 20 to 30 years,” says Torsten Meier, chief innovation officer at GF Building Flow solutions. “As underfloor heating systems are operated at low temperatures and less pressure,

our installation partners to further expand their offering,” adds Torsten. “Now they can also take on renovation projects that previously could not be upgraded energy-efficiently with underfloor heating.” ◼ phamnews.co.uk/525/57
