But the idea of the heated floor is new? Not really. In fact, you could say it’s very old. But today, starting from the last ten years, it seems to have established itself. Why is it so slow, even though it’s such an ancient technique? Simple: efficiency levels. The installation technique, but also its composition, has been refined to the point of guaranteeing really high levels. In order to combine three elements: well-being, savings and last but not least, environmental protection.

Let’s get to the heart of our mini-guide. The time has come to understand the real advantages of a heated floor. As with a thermo-active facade, the main advantages depend on the radiation principle. Through this mode, the heat is not only concentrated in one place. But the emission spreads evenly throughout the room. But how do you obtain the desired temperature ? Simply, according to the main statistics, a constant water temperature of 40 °C should be set. Exactly half that of traditional radiators.
A truly eco-friendly system, which will allow you to save on your bill!
And that’s not all. If your wish is to cool the room, you can always use this system! How ? By running cold water through the pipes. This peculiarity is really essential even for those who suffer from allergies. As the air does not heat up as it does when using radiators, it does not spread harmful particles.
To control the temperature, it will be sufficient to install a thermostat.
Let’s get to the sore point… the cost of a heated floor. Let’s start by saying that this is a real initial investment. But it allows a considerable reduction in consumption, as well as 30% more energy savings. We are talking about an initial economic contribution equal to 60 % more than traditional systems. But let us assure you that it is really worth it!
In a short time, you will have a truly eco-friendly home, thanks to your new heated floor !
