Underfloor heating

Cast floor underfloor heating

cast floor with underfloor heating is the perfect combination to heat your home or office space quickly, sustainably and evenly. That is also the reason that more and more new-build homes are now being delivered with underfloor heating and that more and more existing homes are switching to a cast floor with underfloor heating. A cast floor with underfloor heating offers many advantages. For example, with underfloor heating you can easily save on energy costs and you no longer have ugly radiators in your home.

Cast floor heating advantages

  • Even heat distribution: Underfloor heating under a cast floor ensures an even distribution of heat throughout the room, resulting in a comfortable and pleasant temperature without cold spots.
  • Comfortable: Walking on a cast floor with underfloor heating feels particularly comfortable, because you don’t suffer from cold feet, even during colder seasons.
  • Energy efficient: Underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures than traditional radiators, resulting in more efficient use of energy and lower heating costs.
  • Visually appealing: A cast floor offers a sleek and seamless surface, making it the perfect basis for a modern and stylish interior decor. With the addition, you no longer need radiators in the house.
  • Space-saving: Because underfloor heating is installed under the cast floor, you don’t have to worry about ugly radiators or convectors, leaving more space in the room.

Cast floor heating disadvantages

  • Costs: You simply cannot escape the fact that a heated cast floor costs money. However, it is an investment that helps you save on energy bills over the years and increases the value of your home.
  • Longer warm-up time: Underfloor heating generally has a longer heat-up time than radiators, which can result in slightly longer waiting times before the desired temperature is reached. However, the heat is evenly distributed over the entire room by the cast floor and it takes less energy to heat up the house.
  • More limited choice of floor coverings: Not all floor coverings are suitable for use in combination with underfloor heating. As a result, if you were interested in carpeting at all, you may have a more limited choice.
  • Harder to repair: It doesn’t happen often, but when something is broken with the part of the underfloor heating under the cast floor, it’s not the easiest task to fix it. In most cases, you need a specialist for this.

Thickness of cast floor underfloor heating

The thickness of a cast floor with underfloor heating can vary from a few millimetres to a few centimetres. In most cases, a cast floor is only a few millimeters. This is a lot thinner than, for example, a tiled floor or a real wooden floor. This makes a cast floor perfect for use in combination with underfloor heating. Because it is so thin, the heat will be absorbed directly into the floor. Very efficient and good for the monthly energy bill!
