How it works

How does underfloor heating work?

Underfloor heating is the most modern way to heat a space. Pipes embedded in the floor carry warm water at low temperatures (typically 30–40 °C). The whole floor becomes a large radiating surface that warms the room evenly.

Unlike radiators, which heat the air by convection and create temperature gradients, underfloor heating radiates warmth evenly from the floor upwards. The temperature is pleasant at foot level and gradually decreases towards the ceiling – exactly the way the human body finds most comfortable.

Thanks to its low operating temperature, underfloor heating is the ideal partner for a heat pump. The pump operates at higher efficiency precisely when supplying low-temperature water.

Why it pays off

Why choose underfloor heating?

  • ✓Even heating across the entire room with no cold spots
  • ✓Pleasant warmth from the soles of your feet – ideal for children playing on the floor
  • ✓Saves space – no radiators, more freedom in the interior
  • ✓Maintenance-free operation throughout its lifespan
  • ✓Suitable underneath all common floor coverings
  • ✓Higher perceived comfort – you can heat at lower temperatures

System types

We specialise in several types of underfloor heating

With a system board

The most common solution for new builds. An insulation board with raised studs makes pipe routing easy and provides thermal insulation from the substrate.

With guide rails

An alternative to system boards. The pipe is held in place by guide rails fixed to the insulation. Suitable for regular layouts.

Dry construction

A wet-free system – pipes are placed into pre-formed boards. Ideal for refurbishments and timber-frame buildings.

SPIDER system

Very low build-up height – from 30 mm. Perfect where a conventional floor build-up isn’t possible.

Pipes secured with clips

An economical option – the pipe is clipped to the insulation board. Quick and cost-effective installation.

PEX/AL/PEX pipework

Multi-layer pipe with an aluminium core ensures low expansion and an oxygen barrier.

How we work

How is underfloor heating installed?

01

Survey and design

We measure the premises, calculate heat losses and design the optimum loop layout. We take the floor finish and heat source into account.

02

Substrate preparation

We lay the insulation and the system board. We prepare the manifold and the connection to the heat source.

03

Pipe installation

Pipes are laid at precise spacings according to the design. Once finished we pressure-test the entire system.

04

Screed and controls

After a successful pressure test the system is covered with anhydrite or concrete screed. We then install thermostats and room-by-room controls.

Maintenance & service

Is underfloor heating maintenance-free?

Underfloor heating is essentially maintenance-free. Pipes laid in the floor have a service life of over 50 years and require no regular maintenance. All we recommend is the occasional pressure check and bleeding of the system.

If the system is connected to a heat pump, regular servicing of the pump itself is needed. We recommend checking the manifold and control valves once a year – ideally before the heating season starts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Ceramic tiles and LVT vinyl flooring conduct heat best. Laminate and wood floors work if their thermal resistance is up to 0.15 m²K/W – check the figure on the manufacturer’s packaging. Carpet is not recommended due to its high insulation, which blocks heat transfer.
ČSN EN 1264 sets the maximum surface temperature at 29 °C in living areas and 33 °C in bathrooms. Flow temperature is typically 30–45 °C (versus 60–80 °C for conventional radiators), which is ideal for use with a heat pump.
Yes – it’s the ideal combination. Underfloor heating runs at low water temperatures (35–40 °C), which is where a heat pump achieves its highest efficiency – COPs of 4–5. Compared with a radiator system you save another 10–20 % on running costs.
