Benefits of underfloor heating
Underfloor heating is a low-temperature heating system. With underfloor heating, the flow temperature is between 35°C and 40°C, which in turn saves energy and significantly reduces your operating costs. It therefore works optimally in combination with alternative energy sources such as heat pumps. Grinding floor heating even after heating has been installed is therefore worthwhile.
Grinding underfloor heating after it has been laid, without a build-up layer
As the cutting process is carried out with the help of a multi-resistant industrial diamond, the technique can be used on almost all cementitious subfloors five centimetres and above in thickness. An additional build-up layer or the removal of the existing subfloor are therefore no longer necessary. Another advantage of an underfloor heating is that it is even more convenient and efficient to use. As the heating pipes are now directly under the floor covering, the temperature can be regulated more quickly and precisely than with conventional systems. This makes a significant difference in terms of energy consumption.

The most frequently asked questions about milling for underfloor heating
To ensure that the heating pipes can be laid safely in the floor, the existing subfloor must have a minimum thickness of approx. 4.5 to 5 cm. This thickness is necessary to ensure that the stability of the floor is maintained when milling the channels and that there is no risk of breaking through the subfloor.
Yes, in principle this is possible. However, concrete is significantly harder than a conventional cement-based subfloor, which is why the milling work is more labour-intensive and the machines need more time to mill the channels.
The duration depends mainly on the size of the floor area to be processed. Experience shows that our team needs about two to four working days to complete the milling work and lay the pipes for an average detached house.
We use a 16 × 2 mm aluminium multilayer composite pipe for our systems. This pipe is characterised by high dimensional stability and durability and – in contrast to simple plastic pipes – cannot become brittle. For this reason, we deliberately avoid all-plastic pipes.
The costs depend primarily on the size of the area to be heated. In general, the following applies: the larger the area, the lower the price per square metre.
An initial cost estimate can easily be made using the quote calculator on our homepage.
Yes. On request, all heating work can be carried out either by our team or by your local heating installer. This includes, for example, the replacement of heating manifolds, the removal of radiators and other adaptation work on the heating system.
Yes, that is also possible. In this case, special drywall panels are used. However, these must have a minimum thickness of around 25 mm so that the heating pipes can be professionally integrated.
