No more cold feet

For a long time, underfloor heating in ecological house construction was seen only as a supplement for tempering the floor, to be combined with an additional heat source. That has changed: modern surface heating systems work with low flow temperatures and release their heat evenly across the entire floor area. In well-insulated buildings, underfloor heating can therefore be the sole heat source without the floor becoming uncomfortably warm. It raises the floor temperature just enough that the floor no longer radiates cold and matches the temperature of the walls and ceiling. Where additional heating output is wanted, it can easily be combined with wall heating.

Floor heating systems that are created using the dry construction method are particularly recommended and easy to use. Impact sound insulation, underfloor heating and wooden floorboards can be laid in one operation. The system consists of components that serve this purpose: grooved soft wood fiber boards enable the heating pipes to be clipped into heat conducting sheets specially designed for this purpose; wooden strips run between the soft fiber boards on which the plank floor is laid. Alternatively, this system is also suitable for installing a dry screed that can be tiled instead of the wooden floor.

Just like the wall heating, the heating pipes of the underfloor heating are connected to a heating circuit distributor. Both systems, wall and underfloor heating, can be combined with one another and evenly controlled via a room thermostat.
