The solution: Electric underfloor heating with only 3-4 mm installation height. The heating mat is laid directly into the tile adhesive – done. Your tiler can easily include this in the normal renovation.
The result: Warm feet every morning, cozy indoor climate, no mold formation thanks to even warmth. Your bathroom becomes a place to relax.
Old building renovation – Comfort without major construction work
The situation: Your old building has limited room height. Every centimeter counts. A classic underfloor heating with thick screed build-up is not feasible.
The solution: Our electric heating mats require only 3-4 mm build height. No screed raising, no door shortening, no transition adjustments.
The result: Modern underfloor heating in old buildings – without compromises on room height. Comfort meets heritage protection.
Kitchen & living area – Cozy atmosphere throughout the house
The situation: You plan open living areas with large tile or stone surfaces. They look elegant but often feel cold.
The solution: Electric underfloor heating under tiles, natural stone, or vinyl. Even heat distribution throughout the room, no cold spots.
The result: Your design floors remain visually perfect – and feel wonderfully warm. Walking barefoot becomes a pleasure, not a challenge.
Office & commercial – Productive working atmosphere
The situation: Cold feet at the desk reduce concentration. Radiators create uneven temperature zones – too cold by the window, too warm by the radiator.
The solution: Electric underfloor heating ensures even temperature distribution throughout the office. No drafts, no dust circulation.

Buy electric underfloor heating – How to find the right size
Step 1: Calculate area
Measure room size: Length × width = total area
Subtract fixed furniture:
- Bathtub, shower (fixed installation)
- Built-in cabinets, kitchen units
- Toilet base (approx. 0.5 m²)
- Sink cabinet
Movable furniture: Can stay in place – laying heating mat underneath is no problem
Example bathroom 3 m × 2.5 m:
- Total area: 7.5 m²
- Subtract bathtub: -2.0 m²
- Subtract toilet: -0.5 m²
- Subtract sink: -0.5 m²
- Heated area: 4.5 m² → order heating mat 5 m²
Step 2: Choose heating power
Standard living areas: 160 W/m² (bathroom, kitchen, living room)
Bedroom: 100-130 W/m² (reduced power for cooler sleeping temperature)
Conservatory/poorly insulated: 200 W/m² (higher power for greater heat loss)
Step 3: Select thermostat
Digital thermostat: For easy operation and time programs
WIFI thermostat: For smart home integration and remote control
Multiple rooms: Each room needs its own thermostat for individual control
Step 4: Complete set or individual components?
Complete set recommended for:
- First installation – you have nothing yet
- Single rooms (bathroom, guest toilet)
- Simple planning – everything fits together
Individual components are suitable for:
- Multiple rooms with one thermostat (not recommended – each room should be controlled separately)
- Replacement of defective components
- Special requirements (e.g. particularly large areas)
Installation tips for professionals and ambitious DIYers
Avoid common mistakes
Error 1: Heating mat switched on too early
Problem: Tile adhesive/screed is not yet cured – cracks may form
Solution: Wait at least 28 days, then heat up slowly (increase by 5°C daily)
Error 2: Floor sensor incorrectly positioned
Problem: Sensor is directly on the heating cable – measures too high a temperature, room stays cold
Solution: Position floor sensor exactly between two heating cables, place in protective tubing
Error 3: No continuity test before covering
Problem: Heating mat damaged during installation – only noticed after tiling
Solution: Electrician checks resistance and insulation BEFORE covering with tile adhesive
Error 4: Heating mat under fixed furniture
Problem: Heat buildup under bathtub or built-in cabinet – overheating possible
Solution: Lay heating mat only in freely accessible areas, avoid fixed furniture
Error 5: Incorrect heating output chosen
Problem: Too little power – room doesn’t warm up; too much power – unnecessarily high costs
Solution: 160 W/m² for standard living spaces; if in doubt, get advice
Pro tips for perfect installation
Tip 1: Photograph the laying plan – helps avoid damage during later drilling
Tip 2: Measure heating mat with a multimeter – before, during, and after installation
Tip 3: Use protective tubing for floor sensor – allows later replacement without removing tiles
Tip 4: Lay power cables in conduit – makes later repairs easier
Tip 5: Do not install the thermostat in direct sunlight – it distorts temperature measurement

Increase energy efficiency – How to save operating costs
Tip 1: Use intelligent time programs
Bathroom example:
- 6:00 AM–8:00 AM: 24°C (morning routine)
- 8:00 AM–6:00 PM: 16°C (daytime setback)
- 6:00 PM–10:00 PM: 22°C (evening routine)
- 10:00 PM–6:00 AM: 16°C (night setback)
Savings: Up to 40% compared to continuous operation
Tip 2: Room-by-room control
Each room has its own thermostat – heat only the rooms you use. Guest toilet only when needed, main bathroom daily, kitchen as required.
Savings: Up to 30% through targeted heating
Tip 3: Choose setback temperatures correctly
Don’t turn off completely – slight setback (16-18°C) is more efficient than cooling down fully and reheating.
Savings: Up to 20% through optimized setback
Tip 4: Use photovoltaic surplus
Automatically heat with a smart home thermostat when the PV system produces surplus (midday). Heat is stored in the screed.
Savings: Up to 70% through self-consumption (0.10 €/kWh instead of 0.30 €/kWh)
Tip 5: Choose optimal floor temperature
Don’t set too hot – 22-24°C floor temperature is sufficient. Each degree higher costs about 6% more energy.
Savings: Up to 12% through moderate temperature settings
Tip 6: Combine with good insulation
Underfloor heating in poorly insulated rooms loses a lot of energy downward. Insulation under the heating mat (if possible) increases efficiency.
Savings: Up to 25% through insulation underneath
Sustainability & Environment – Heating with a clear conscience
Combination with Renewable Energy
Photovoltaics: Use your own solar power for heating – CO₂-neutral and cost-effective
Green Electricity: Use power from renewable sources – 100% climate-neutral heating
Heat Pump: Combine electric underfloor heating with a heat pump – highly efficient and eco-friendly
Durability reduces resource consumption
30-40 years lifespan means: Install once, use for decades – no regular replacement like with other heating systems.
No Refrigerants, No Oil, No Gas
Electric underfloor heating operates without environmentally harmful refrigerants, fossil fuels, or leakage risks. Clean, safe, sustainable.
Recyclable Materials
Copper wiring and plastic insulation are fully recyclable – no hazardous waste issues at the end of their lifespan.
Legal Notices & Standards
Electrical installation according to VDE standards
Installation of electric underfloor heating must be done by a certified electrician according to VDE 0100. Self-installation of the heating mat is allowed, but electrical connection must be done by a professional.
