Underfloor heating has been gaining popularity in Portugal due to its efficiency and comfort. But is it suitable for both new construction and renovations? We take a look at the different types, benefits, and installation considerations.
Underfloor heating has been one of the most talked-about climate control solutions in Portugal in recent years. It stands out for its efficiency, comfort, and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for new construction. But how do you choose an underfloor heating system, and is it also suitable for renovations?
In new construction, underfloor heating is integrated from the start, allowing for efficient and customized installation. This is the most advantageous approach, as the system can be sized during the design phase.
In renovations, the system is installed over the existing floor. However, this adds height to the installation, which may require modifying doors and baseboards. It is essential to ensure proper insulation of the existing floor. Electric systems are generally easier to install in renovations, while hydronic systems offer greater efficiency in larger areas.
Underfloor heating offers comfort and energy efficiency, transforming your home into a cozy and sustainable space. However, it is important to analyze each case individually with specialized professionals. The LEFE team can help you determine if this solution is suitable for your home and your budget.
