Good day,
we are buying a house from the year 1998. We are actually enthusiastic about the house. Unfortunately, it lacks underfloor heating. We don't want to do without it. We would like to have underfloor heating in the living room and kitchen (one room approx. 48sqm) and in the bathroom on the 1st floor (approx. 12sqm). Currently, there are tiles in these rooms. Now I have done some research on the internet and have seen 3 interesting methods.
1. Milling technique: breaking out tiles (not a problem, we will probably change the floor covering anyway). Then a "groove" for the pipes is milled into the screed. Finally, a leveling compound must be applied and the floor can be laid. Experiences? 2. Uponor low build-up system. Allegedly, the system can even be glued onto the existing tiles. Overall, it should only be 10-15mm high. Experiences? 3. Normal heating mat: However, this system would probably only make sense in the bathroom, as it is rather intended for small rooms up to 10sqm. Experiences?
Has anyone applied one of the three systems at their place? Can anyone say something about the costs and whether it makes sense?
Thanks
