Hello everyone,
I recently heard from some acquaintances that they have underfloor heating... Since I am currently in the process of building a house, I wanted to ask if anyone could share some information about it...

Hello Harry,
my parents also have underfloor heating, and I can only say good things about it... I just remember that quite a few materials were needed, such as gravel, roofing felt, concrete, polystyrene, reinforcement mesh...

That already sounds like a lot of dirt and work... Do you also know what the construction process will look like?

No, I don't think I can tell you that, but that's what professionals are for... I know I watched it being done, but I don't really know how it all works in detail... Maybe my parents have a completely different method than what is common today...

Okay, that's a pity, but I guess I'll have to ask somewhere else then... But do I actually save on heating costs with such a system, or will it result in even higher heating expenses?

Yes, even though you might not really think about it, you can save up to 50% on heating costs, and I believe that is quite significant... However, underfloor heating is not exactly cheap either...
