Subsequent underfloor heating during floor replacement

Hello,

is it possible to retrofit underfloor heating in the existing apartment (built in 2000) with reinforced concrete ceilings? The residential building currently has a gas system (central heating) installed. We want to replace the floor anyway and lay parquet (currently laminate).
My biggest concern is whether it is even possible to coordinate such a retrofit with other owners? How will our costs be settled and is it worth installing underfloor heating with a gas system? Especially since the temperature in radiators is higher than with underfloor heating (plus space needed for a water mixer and co.)

The alternative would be an electric underfloor heating system in the bathroom and the children's room. Here I fear that the heating will be disproportionately expensive.

Does anyone have experience with this topic? Thanks.

sounds like condominium apartment ?!?

In order not to have too much "loss" downwards, a generous insulation would have to be installed under your new screed (with heating coils inside). That adds several centimeters in thickness (estimated at least 8 cm).

Do you want something like that?

Although the heat is not lost but warms the apartment below you with weak insulation.
But the additional consumption appears on your heating bill.

Electric direct heating is, in my opinion, an absolute no-go.

Hello " ". First of all, a note that "Fußbodenheizung mit Gasanlage" is very poorly phrased. You probably meant: underfloor water heating that can be connected to a gas-powered heating system? As "konibar" expressed it in a slightly different way: that is quite complex. For this, the screed would have to be removed down to the insulation and installed at around 60mm thickness instead of the usual 45mm thickness. Since this is an existing building where the height reference points and transitions are fixed, this is hardly feasible. Electric heating? That is certainly possible, especially if ceramic tiles are planned. But beware - trap!! At the moment, electricity and energy prices are rising so sharply that this option should be considered economically very questionable!! My tip is actually to leave the heating situation as it is. It has proven itself over the past years. The reason for a change in the heating technology is (probably) only a (justified) wishful idea. ----------------------- Regards and a happy decision: KlaRa

Thank you for your help. Yes, there is actually a request, as our child plays on the floor a lot. Otherwise, I understand that the whole conversion is not worth it.

What is Junior playing? Laying out the carpet?

Otherwise, it’s one of those things that bothers adults more than the people actually affected ;-)

We have bought thick, affordable new wool carpets for the children. They lie in the living room and the children's rooms from autumn to spring. In summer, they are rolled up and stored away. My old bones also find them great.
