Underfloor heating pipes laid before the screed, with the manifold on the wall

Underfloor heating installation in Ciutat Vella.

We design the circuits, lay the pipe and pour the screed in Ciutat Vella, so the underfloor heating runs at low temperature on a heat pump or boiler.

When should you consider underfloor heating?

  • You are replacing the floors anyway
  • Warm only next to the radiators
  • Radiators taking up wall space
  • Switching to a heat pump

What the underfloor heating includes

  • Circuit layout

    Pipe spacing and number of circuits worked out for each room.

  • Insulation and edge strip

    Insulation boards and a perimeter strip so the heat goes up, not down.

  • PEX or multilayer pipe

    Laid in a spiral with no joints under the floor.

  • Manifold with flow meters

    Every circuit balanced from a single accessible cabinet.

  • Pressure test

    Circuits filled and kept under pressure before and during the screed pour.

  • Screed

    An even, level layer, ready for your chosen flooring.

How we plan underfloor heating in Ciutat Vella

In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval height is limited, so we measure ceilings and doors before choosing the system. When the old floor comes up, noise and rubble removal are planned around the community's working hours.

The system is adjusted to the floor finish chosen in homes in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera: ceramic and porcelain tiles conduct best, while wood or vinyl must be rated for underfloor heating. The first start-up is gradual, once the screed is dry.

At the visit we measure the available height, look at the current floor and the heat source, and send you a detailed written quote, room by room. We also install underfloor heating in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Underfloor heating installation in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

What floor height does it take up?

A standard system adds around 8–10 cm for insulation, pipe and screed, plus the floor finish. Where height is tight, low-profile systems take up much less.

03

Which floor finishes can go on top?

Ceramic and porcelain tiles transfer heat most readily. Engineered wood or vinyl rated for underfloor heating also work, at the thickness the manufacturer specifies.

04

What heats the water?

A heat pump, the most efficient match because both work at low temperature, or a condensing boiler. If the unit allows it, the floor can also provide gentle cooling in summer.
