How does underfloor heating work?

Underfloor heating is an efficient and pleasant way to heat rooms. It is based on the fact that heating elements are installed under the floor, which heat the surface of the floor. For example, electric cables or pipelines through which warm water circulates can be used as heating elements.

Underfloor heating works in such a way that the heating elements produce heat, which is transferred through the surface of the floor into the room air. The heat is evenly distributed around the room, which makes floor heating a pleasant and efficient form of heating.

Floor heating can be installed on different types of floor materials, such as tiles, parquet or laminate. It is also an energy-efficient way to heat rooms, as the heat is evenly distributed and heat loss does not occur in the same way as, for example, radiator heating.
