Opal Systems, Uniwarm, Henco, Vasco and BrioTherm are companies that offer floor heating systems. These systems are suitable for both new construction and renovation and consist of insulation or gypsum fiber floor plates with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid. The systems are comfortable, flexible, energy efficient and offer fast installation with low thermal inertia. The floor finish can be applied immediately after the installation of the underfloor heating. These companies also offer zone control and energy saving solutions.

Below you can find a brief overview of different dry floor systems with underfloor heating.

Opal Systems

Opal Systems

MDF board with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

Immediately upon its introduction in 2009, OPAL-Systems emerged as the reference for reactive underfloor heating. The fact that the OPAL system excels in both space requirements and reactivity makes it one of the most comfortable and flexible solutions – regardless of your residential project.

Henco

Henco

Insulation plate or gypsum fibre floor plate provided with preformed slots in which the floor heating pipe is laid.

HENCO SECOR is a dry system with a very low construction height. The absence of a screed/screed guarantees quick installation and low thermal inertia. The panels already have an aluminum layer for optimal heat emission. Henco Secor is installed with the Henco multilayer pipes and is only installed in a meander pattern. The floor finish can be applied immediately after the installation of the underfloor heating. This makes the system extremely suitable for renovations.

The RENO12 system is particularly suitable for a low construction height, for example during renovation works. You mount the tube in a preformed plate. It is important that you place the plate on a completely flat surface.

RBM Kilma Futura

RBM Kilma Futura

Insulation plate with preformed aluminum slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

Kilma Futura is a revolutionary radiation system, without a screed floor and characterized by a very low construction height with which a finished floor heating/cooling of less than 3 cm can be realized. The unique feature of Kilma Futura is the possibility to install the floor directly on the insulating panel without the need for a support and load distribution layer such as metal sheets, fiber reinforced plasterboards, nets, etc. This simplifies and speeds up the installation work enormously and greatly reduces costs and implementation difficulties. In addition, to carry out an installation with Kilma Futura, a unique type of panel is used for the entire installation, without having to distinguish between those at the head, the intermediate ones, the bends, etc. Each panel is already provided with preformed slots where the pipe is inserted.

BrioTherm

BrioTherm

Insulation sheet with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

Renovations can completely transform older buildings into an attractive home or modern business space.

BRIOTHERM RENOPLUS underfloor heating is ideal for low installation heights, as is usually the case with renovation works.

In the dry underfloor heating system, the heating pipes are laid in preformed insulation panels. These pipes are placed in heat-conducting and heat-dissipating profiles made of galvanized steel. This whole is covered with galvanized steel plates that distribute the heat perfectly.

Thermoduct

Thermoduct

Insulation sheet with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

The Reno underfloor heating system guarantees you the best heat distribution and is therefore the cream of the crop. This system can be installed both 'wet' and 'dry'. Due to the thin screed layer, a fast heating and cooling time is achieved. The minimum available floor height required to install this system is only 6 centimetres. Reno is a low-temperature system for heating and cooling floors and surfaces indoors and outdoors.

Variotherm

Variotherm

Gypsum fibre floor slab with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

Variokomp dry construction underfloor heating, the solution if you have little construction height or if there is a wooden subfloor. The low build-up underfloor heating also guarantees a perfect indoor climate due to the high heat output and fast response time.

Our Variokomp underfloor heating is also sometimes called 'fermacell dry construction underfloor heating'. With Variokomp you use an 18mm gypsum fiber board with a pre-milled stud profile. The special thing about our solution is that we only supply plates with a stud pattern and not just for the edges. Moreover, you do not have to mill on location, which means that the installation is dust-free and fast.

Climatrix

Climatrix

Insulation sheet with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

This drying system is ideal when the free construction height is limited or when the total mass of the floor construction may not be too great. The heating pipes are laid in the insulation, so that the minimum construction height with Climatrix Slim is only 25 mm. With Climatrix XSlim, the minimum construction height is only 15 mm. This system can be ideally combined with floating parquet, for example click laminate (not glued).

Begetube

Begetube

Insulation sheet with preformed slots in which the underfloor heating pipe is laid.

When the free construction height is limited or when the total mass of the floor construction may not be too great, the use of a dry underfloor heating system is usually the only option. With this system, the heating pipes are recessed into the insulation, so that the total construction height can be reduced to 6 cm. This system is therefore particularly suitable for renovation projects.

The basic insulation layer consists of a 3 cm thick preformed polystyrene plate in which the heat-dissipating plates and the alpex duo multilayer pipe are placed. The entire floor surface is then covered with a heat-conducting cover plate to further optimize heat distribution.

The screed or dry floor elements therefore never come into direct contact with the underfloor heating pipe, hence the name "dry system". The possible laying distances are 12.5 and 25 cm.

Dry construction means that no wet products such as sand-cement, concrete, anhydrite, etc. are used during the construction/installation of underfloor heating.

Dry construction systems are mainly used for timber frame construction, renovation and conversion, but also for floors where there is no room for a sand-cement screed. Dry construction is also frequently used in circumstances where sound insulation is also required, such as in apartments.

Dry construction systems come in a number of variants and are installed on a flat and stable surface.

We offer through innovation. in close contact with the manufacturer in Germany, currently dry construction systems, which make it possible to use almost all types of floor coverings. A dry construction system is very suitable for an existing home, a renovation project or if you are going to build a new home with a wooden skeleton and wooden floors. The underfloor heating is not installed in a cement floor, but in an insulation board. As a result, the tax is much lower. The floor covering can then be easily placed on the plate. The big advantage is that it also heats up much faster in the house.
