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.

Underfloor heating in L'Escala: height, structure and equipment

On houses in residential estates in areas such as Nucli antic, Poble Sec and Les Terroges the ground floor usually rests on a slab in contact with the soil. There we lay thicker insulation and a damp-proof membrane so heat does not escape downwards.

In homes in areas such as Riells, La Clota and Muntanya de Montgó we start with the perimeter strip and insulation boards, with no gaps between them. On top we lay the pipe in a spiral, closer together near large windows and outside walls, where the home loses most heat.

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: Torroella de Montgrí, Sant Pere Pescador and Viladamat.

Frequently asked questions

01

Underfloor heating installation in L'Escala: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in L'Escala, in areas such as Nucli antic, Poble Sec, Les Terroges, Riells, La Clota, Muntanya de Montgó, Sant Martí d'Empúries and Les Corts, and also nearby: Torroella de Montgrí, Sant Pere Pescador and Viladamat. 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.
