Hello everyone,
We bought a house (built in 1996) with underfloor heating — in every room except the bathrooms, the bulky thermostats are located right behind the door. This naturally causes the doors to bang against the thermostats and they could even be levered off. Existing damage unfortunately speaks for itself… not to mention I don’t find those things very attractive.
Now, there is also flow control installed for each floor. As far as I understand the principle, this ensures that each room receives the right amount of water so everything works properly.
Can I simply remove the thermostats and replace them with something that stays permanently open? Then control the flow only with the flow regulation? We normally set the heating once and that’s it for the winter. I haven’t really found slim-profile thermostats, and those with external temperature sensors are still quite bulky.

That probably means heat pumps.
I suspect it was autocorrect.Yep. Sorry.I didn’t install any thermostats myself.

Yep. Sorry.You don’t need to apologize when the operator’s software creates such strange corrections. That happens to me quite often.
Remove the rotary controls. Perform a hydraulic balancing. Check the electrical system (what is installed there and replace with appropriate components if necessary, e.g., NC/NO switches). Lower the flow temperature.
Then observe which rooms warm up first.
Perform a thermal balancing.
Save money.
