What is Underfloor heating?

Underfloor heating heats the floor of a room evenly by means of heat radiation or radiation. Because the floor is heated at a low temperature, the heat is almost entirely given off by radiation distributed over the entire floor, the heat emission is the same everywhere in the room and there is only a minimal temperature stratification in the room air. This can be programmed with an electronic thermostat. Usually the heat output is between 30 and 60 W/m2. A maximum of 100 W/m2 can be supplied. A dry construction system is placed on the floor by means of, for example, studded panels.

Wet building system

This type is poured into the concrete. This type is suitable for new-build homes because there is an adequate level of furnishing for it. You want about 16 to 20 cm installation height.

Dry building system

This type is laid in preformed polystyrene or polystyrene foam mats. Normally this type is used in houses with limited floor development. You really want a settlement level of somewhere around 6cm. In contrast to the wet development framework, you really want 10 cm less settlement level.

Electric underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating can be divided into 3 types. You have mats, and electrical connections and you have foil frames. The advantage of this kind is low start-up costs and a simple and quick introduction.
