Hello,
we are about to purchase a single-family house and plan to renovate quite a bit. In addition to a new heating system, the radiators will be replaced with underfloor heating. However, I’ve been wondering how to best carry this out. The house has a living area of 170m² (1830 sq ft), and besides the partially installed tiles, the screed layer would also need to be removed. The latter would involve a huge amount of work and significantly increase the costs, so I am considering whether it’s possible to install the underfloor heating by milling channels directly into the existing screed without removing it. Are there any other options? Since the doors will also be replaced, a slight increase in floor height is not a major concern.
What else should I keep in mind? How would the heating efficiency behave if the installation is done differently than usual? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
