Underfloor heating in Vlaardingen

No radiator in the way

The heat comes out of the floor, so your walls stay free for furniture.

We lay the floor over it too

Tiles, laminate or vinyl we do ourselves, so the build-up and the finish match.

One team with the boiler

The manifold has to be connected to your boiler. Our boiler engineers do that themselves.

Our work

Why it sits with us

Underfloor heating touches three trades at once

Pipe has to go into the floor, a manifold has to be fitted and connected to the boiler, and then a floor has to go over it that lets the heat through. Those are three firms that normally do not talk to each other, and that is exactly where it usually comes apart.

We do the floor, the tiling and the boiler ourselves. That means we match the build-up, the loops and the finish from the start, and there is nobody who can point at somebody else afterwards.

The loops are set out per room, so you can control rooms separately.
The manifold goes somewhere reachable and is neatly boxed in.
We fill, bleed and pressure-test the system before the floor closes over it.
Then we lay the tiled, laminate or vinyl floor over the top.

Two ways

In a new floor or in the floor that is there

Which of the two it becomes depends on whether things are being stripped out anyway and on what your floor can take.

01 — During a renovation

Laid in with the new floor

If the floor is coming out anyway, this is the cheapest moment. Insulation boards in, the loops on at a set spacing and a screed over the top. You get the most heat per room this way, because there is a full layer underneath.

In a bathroom too

02 — In an existing floor

Routed into the floor that is there

If there is a screed that is sound, the pipe can be routed into it. The floor then does not come out and your floor height barely changes. It is dusty work, so we close the room off and extract as we go. After that the new floor goes over the top.

03 — Connecting

Manifold, pump and the boiler

The manifold is connected to your boiler, with a pump and a mixing valve so the water goes into the floor at the right temperature. That belongs to the boiler and so to our own engineers. Then we flush the loops and balance them room by room.

Everything about the boiler

Often comes with it

What usually sits around it

Underfloor heating almost never comes on its own. A floor goes over it and often the boiler is part of the job too.

Questions

What people ask about underfloor heating

Can it be the only heating, or do I still need a radiator?

That depends on how well your house is insulated. In a well-insulated house underfloor heating can carry the whole room. In an older house it is often additional heating alongside the radiators. We look at your situation when we measure up and say honestly what you can expect.

Which floor can go over it?

Tiles work best, because stone passes the heat on well. Vinyl and a lot of laminate can too, but then the underlay has to let the heat through and the floor has to be suitable. We lay those floors ourselves, so we match it all up.

Does my floor have to come out?

Not always. If the screed that is there is sound and thick enough, we can route the pipe into it and the floor stays put. If things are being renovated anyway or the floor has to go regardless, we lay it in with the new build-up.

Does the floor get warm enough to walk on?

Underfloor heating does not feel like a heater: it is a mild warmth that sits there all day and reacts slowly. So you do not switch it on and off, you leave it running. We balance the loops per room so the bedroom does not have to be as warm as the living room.

What does underfloor heating cost?

That depends on the area, on routing versus laying in a new floor, and on what has to happen at the manifold and the boiler. That is why there is no amount on this page. We come and look and you get a price on paper.
