The thermostat jumps back on more often in the fall. People spend more time indoors. A pleasantly heated living environment is certainly no luxury then. Combining a BY EPI cast floor with underfloor heating is a match made in heaven! Not only does it offer an energy-efficient way to heat your home, it also gives your interior a sleek, modern look. But which types of underfloor heating go best with a cast floor? And what are the benefits of this combination? Read on quickly and find out everything you need to know!
Why choose underfloor heating with a cast floor?
Are you done with annoying radiators? Then underfloor heating combined with a cast floor is the solution! This duo provides:
- A seamless and sleek look: No more visible pipes or radiators.
- Optimal space savings: Thanks to the low thickness of the cast floor, your floor area remains fully usable.
- A wonderfully warm floor under your feet: It could hardly be more comfortable!
Types of underfloor heating that work perfectly with a cast floor
There are several systems that go well with a cast floor. Here’s an overview:
Wet Building System
In this system, the heating pipes are incorporated into the cement or anhydrite layer. Then the screed can be applied directly on top of it.
Advantages:
- Rugged and durable.
- Perfect for large areas.
Note: This system has a slightly longer warm-up time due to the thick layer in which the tubes lie.
Dry Building System
This system is installed on top of the insulation layer, often using Fermacell boards.
Advantages:
- Quick installation: No cement curing required!
- Ideal for renovation projects.
Electric Floor Heating
Especially popular in smaller rooms such as bathrooms. Electric cables or mats are laid directly under the screed.
Advantages:
- Quick warm-up.
- Easy to install.
- Suitable for rooms where there is no traditional central heating system.
What makes this combination so ideal?
Choosing underfloor heating with a cast floor brings a whole host of benefits:
Energy Efficient and Comfortable
With underfloor heating you save up to 20% energy compared to radiators. The heat is distributed evenly, so your central heating boiler does not have to work as hard. That means not only lower energy bills, but also a wonderfully comfortable feeling in your home.
Cooling in Summer
Did you know that underfloor heating can also cool? Combined with a heat pump, you can run cold water through the pipes, making your space several degrees cooler. Ideal for hot summer days!
