A. Why choose underfloor heating?
If you are looking for a sustainable heating system that provides a pleasant warmth, underfloor heating is the perfect choice. Underfloor heating eliminates any annoying elements in your home. Every cm² of every room can be used optimally. Also, as opposed to traditional heating elements, dust accumulation is avoided.
B. Advantages & possibilities of underfloor heating:
- The ideal combination with energy-efficient heating applications, such as heat pumps and solar water heaters.
- A significant energy cost reduction compared with other heating systems.
- No need for radiators, i.e. the maximum available space can be used.
- Aesthetically displeasing heating elements are a thing of the past: decorate any room to your heart’s content.
- Hygienic advantage: no dust accumulation, as opposed to conventional heating.
C. Pleasant climate all year long
Nowadays, pipes in floors are also used to cool off spaces during hot periods. This ensures that these spaces, regardless of the season, always have a pleasant climate. Also, wall heating can be the perfect addition, for instance to give smaller surfaces a pleasant temperature.
In this underfloor heating system, the pipe is held in place by tacker staples. This is a commonly used system for installing underfloor heating over a large surface area. A special tacker is needed for the tacker staples. On average, three tacker staples are needed for every meter of piping. The length of the tacker staple depends on the insulation thickness underneath.
In this underfloor heating system, the pipe is fitted in a preformed system plate. This is a fast-install system that requires no special tools. The main thing is ensuring the system plate is placed on a completely level surface. There can be only one level of insulation under the plate.
