Uponor Radiant Rollout™ Mat Offers 85% Installation Efficiency for Commercial Projects
A custom-designed,
prefabricated, pre-pressurized
network of Uponor crosslinked
polyethylene (PEX-a) tubing,
the Uponor Radiant Rollout™
Mat is the ideal solution for
faster, more consistent
installations for large
commercial radiant heating
and cooling applications — saving up to 85% in installation time.
The mat consists of Wirsbo hePEX™ (oxygen barrier) or Uponor
AquaPEX® (non-barrier) PEX-a tubing connected with ProPEX® engineered
plastic (EP) fittings, which are safe for burial in the slab and offer fast onsite
customization when necessary.
“Because it’s pre-packaged and pre-pressurized, the Radiant Rollout
Mat provides hassle-free commissioning of a radiant heating and cooling
system,” says Dan Sullivan, senior product manager, Commercial Radiant
Heating and Cooling, at Uponor. “Couple that with the built-in quality that
comes with Uponor systems, building professionals can feel confident they
are specifying a product that reduces mistakes and liabilities.”

At an Albuquerque, N.M. installation, the Radiant Rollout Mat allowed contractors to install the tubing in a matter of
days for a 15,000-square-foot pipe fabrication shop.
With the Radiant Rollout Mat, workers simply roll out tubing and fasten it down, requiring less strain on their muscles and backs.
The mat can install
about eight times faster than
conventional radiant tubing
installation methods,
potentially shaving weeks off
an installation schedule. For
example, six contractors can
install 35,000 square feet (16
to 19 mats) per day, as
opposed to 4,500 square feet
per day using conventional
installation methods.
Contractors will also appreciate less time on their hands and knees with the
Radiant Rollout Mat, saving on muscle and back strain.
“We didn’t have to
step through rebar squares
and bend over to attach it,”
says Steve Zamora, piping
foreman, Miller Bonded,
Inc. of Albuquerque, N.M.
“It was much better on the
back.”
