Range · U-Rails

All U-Rails for Underfloor Heating & Surface Tempering.

U-Rails – also known as clip rails, pipe fixing rails or UFH pipe tracks – hold underfloor heating pipes at precisely defined spacing. As the inventor of the U-Rail we offer U-Rails, U-Rails ZS, Penta Rails, Octarails, JetRails and Flip Rails for PEX and multilayer pipes from 10 to 25 mm – for hydronic underfloor heating and radiant floor heating, wall heating and surface tempering, from residential buildings via industrial halls to football stadiums around the world.

U-rails & rapid mounting rails for every type of underfloor heating

01

The original U-Rail system

The U-Rail was invented in the 1970s by Dr. Wolfram Winkler and remains one of the most economical systems for installing underfloor heating. The side springs clamp the pipe with millimetre precision at the specified spacing – without additional fasteners, without tape and without the pipe slipping.

Alongside the classic U-Rail we offer U-Rails ZS, Penta Rails, Octarails, JetRails and Flip Rails. Together they cover every common pipe diameter from 10 to 25 mm – for residential buildings, industrial halls and stadium turf heating.

02

Suitable substrates and applications

Our U-rails are used on screed, concrete, soil, insulation panels and foil constructions. They suit wet and dry screed, industrial floors, wall heating and ceiling cooling, as well as outdoor and sports-area heating.

Depending on the substrate, the rail is fixed with holding pins, plastic nails, staples or directly with our gas-powered setting tool.

03

Made in Germany & Switzerland

We produce in Germany and Switzerland and export to more than 35 countries. Every rail is tested for constant spring force, dimensional accuracy and UV resistance – so our U-rails deliver what they promise, decade after decade.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a rapid mounting rail for underfloor heating?
A rapid mounting rail (also called fixing rail, pipe clip rail, U-rail or spring rail) is a plastic rail with pre-formed clips that holds underfloor heating pipes at a fixed spacing. Our rapid mounting rails accept pipes from 10 to 25 mm, and can be fixed to insulation, concrete or screed in seconds.
What is a U-rail (fixing rail)?
A U-rail, also called fixing rail or spring rail, is a fastening system for underfloor heating. The rail is fixed to insulation, screed or soil and holds the heating pipe exactly at the desired laying distance via side springs or teeth – without tape and without the pipe slipping.
How is the U-rail fixed to the substrate?
Depending on the substrate: with holding pins or plastic nails on insulation boards, with staples on staple insulation, or directly with our gas-powered setting tool on concrete and screed.
Which applications are U-rails suitable for?
For wet and dry underfloor heating, wall heating, ceiling cooling, industrial floors, as well as turf heating and snow-melt systems outdoors.
