Underfloor heating: the complete guide for optimal comfort
Underfloor heating represents an increasingly popular heating solution in Belgium, both in new construction and renovation. This technology offers exceptional thermal comfort while optimizing energy consumption.
The two types of underfloor heating
Hydraulic underfloor heating (water)
A network of pipes in which hot water circulates at low temperature (30-40°C).
Electric underfloor heating
Heating cables or mats integrated under the floor covering.
Underfloor heating and heat pump: the winning combination
The combination of hydraulic underfloor heating and a heat pump represents today's most efficient heating solution.
Low temperature: Underfloor heating works with water at 30-40°C, a temperature that the heat pump produces with excellent efficiency.
Installation
In new construction, hydraulic underfloor heating is naturally installed. In renovation, thinner solutions are available.
Costs and profitability
The underfloor heating + heat pump combination generates savings of 50 to 70% on heating bills.
