About underfloor heating systems

Underfloor heating is becoming more and more popular as a sustainable system that allows for a comfortable indoor climate created by low operating temperatures. The hydronic or electrical elements embedded in the floor warm the space with a mixture of radiant heat and convection, ensuring a constant thermal comfort. Underfloor heating can be perfectly combined with renewable technology such as heat pumps to optimise energy efficiency and minimise operating costs.

The ins and outs of underfloor heating


For most users, underfloor heating is about creating a high level of comfort thanks to the even spread of warmth underfoot. However, underfloor heating has many advantages, such as a high energy efficiency thanks to low operating temperatures and a great versatility in use. So whether it’s for private housing or for commercial buildings, our underfloor heating systems are able to provide the perfect indoor climate comfort solution.

Comfort squared

When talking about comfort with regard to underfloor heating, we of course refer to thermal comfort, but there’s more. While the even heat distribution ensures a pleasant ambient temperature and avoids cold spots across large areas, underfloor heating also ensures a high design comfort as it eliminates the need to find space for a hydronic or electric radiator. This way architects and designers have absolute flexibility in furniture and fixture arrangement. On top of that, the heating system can also provide underfloor cooling to guarantee a comfortable indoor climate all year round.


Energy-efficient underfloor heating

Since underfloor heating systems are highly efficient in the way they circulate the heat, they can run at much lower temperatures and therefore yield significant energy savings. This not only decreases operating costs, but also has a positive effect on our energy use and can be further enhanced by connecting the underfloor heating system to a heat pump for optimal use of renewable energy.


Versatile heating solution

Thanks to its versatility, the underfloor heating we offer at Purmo can be used almost anywhere. Houses and apartments as well as churches, sports halls and industrial buildings, for example, can benefit from the pleasant heating system that provides heat exactly where it’s needed and prevents heat loss. Moreover, our underfloor heating systems are compatible with many types of flooring so you can effortlessly combine style and functionality.
