Operation Underfloor heating

The operation of underfloor heating differs per system. In wet construction (poured), dry construction and milled underfloor heating , pipes are placed in the floor. Hot water is sent through these pipes via a distribution station. The pipes release this heat into the room, heating the room. This type of underfloor heating is used as main heating in large rooms.


With electric underfloor heating mats/cables are evenly distributed throughout the room. By sending current through the system, these mats/cables are heated and the heat is released into the room. This type of system is often used as additional heating or in smaller rooms.

Benefits Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is integrated into the floor, so the entire surface is heated, as opposed to only parts of the surface with traditional heating. This increases the ambient comfort because there is a constant heat output and the feeling of drafts or cold currents is reduced.

The even heat distribution makes it possible to set the thermostat a few degrees lower. This ensures lower heating costs. For example, underfloor heating is not only more environmentally friendly, but it also has a positive impact on your wallet in the longer term. In addition, underfloor heating provides aesthetic benefits because you can remove old radiators, making the room look sleeker and more spacious. But with all these advantages comes the question of the costs of underfloor heating. The price of installing underfloor heating can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of underfloor heating you choose, the surface area of ​​the room, and the complexity of the installation.

Underfloor heating costs

The costs of underfloor heating are listed below per system. This serves as an indication, so be well informed about your home and the appropriate system.

Wet construction underfloor heating (poured)

The investment for installing the underfloor heating on a grid, installing the pipes, installing the distribution station and connecting the pipes to the distribution station amounts to approximately € 50 per square meter (for smaller surfaces may differ).

In addition, insulation and the installation of a screed floor must be taken into account. These costs vary depending on the type of insulation and screed. If insulation plates are chosen, the costs are approximately € 15, including installation. 

Installing a new screed floor, based on sand-cement, costs between approximately 30 - 40 euros per m2 (may vary with layer thicknesses). This depends on whether you choose to add a drying time accelerator and fiber booster. 

Dry construction underfloor heating

Dry construction underfloor heating consists of prefabricated panels that are placed directly on the existing floor. These panels have pre-installed heating pipes. The installation is relatively simple and does not require extensive adjustments to the floor. The costs of dry construction underfloor heating depend on the area of the room to be heated and the type of heating mats or panels you choose.

Average costs: The costs for dry construction underfloor underfloor heating usually vary between €40 and €70 per square meter, including materials and installation.

Milled underfloor heating

Milled underfloor heating , also known as milling or slotting, is installed in the existing floor by making grooves into which the heating pipes are placed. This method is ideal for renovation projects because it adds minimal height to the floor.

Average costs: The costs for milled underfloor heating range from €50 to €100 per square meter, including materials and installation. The price depends on the complexity of the milling and the labor time required.
