ᐅ Underfloor Heating – How to Insulate the Supply Lines to the Rooms?

There has to be some kind of insulation. If in doubt, the corrugated pipe…

Belief might help too… no, seriously, you don’t really need to worry about noticeable insulation. At best, it’s just a placebo. Unfortunately, that’s how it is.

Since everything is controlled with KNX, the heating circuits won’t run day and night either.

That’s complete nonsense. A modern underfloor heating system is set and then runs 24/7 without any user intervention. Night setback or similar is no longer used in new buildings. You do more harm than good with that approach.

Not every room is used continuously and therefore does not require a 24/7 underfloor heating system. For example, the five heating circuits in the open-plan area are switched off automatically when the tiled stove is running. The same applies to the upper floor in the fireplace room, which has two heating circuits usually set to a lower level. When the room is actually in use, the heating can be increased. The bedroom is generally set to a minimal level. But what if you need to use the room for work occasionally?

Why shouldn’t I be able to control my heating circuits individually if the entire house is controllable?

Currently, the underfloor heating is managed smartly, and it works perfectly. So, everyone can set it up according to their needs.

Currently, both the underfloor heating and the controls are smart and it works perfectly. So everyone can set it up as they need.

I prefer not to reply to this; it would get too long. Please take some time to research the topic yourself. In new builds today, proper regulation is no longer really needed or even possible.

No problem. These are simply our experiences with underfloor heating and the desire to have control over it. And if it runs 24/7 afterward, that’s also fine. We have a 10x1.5 NYM cable and a KNX (EIB) system for both heating manifolds. So everything is possible if needed.

and wish to be able to control it.

Wish! It is about a physical/technical problem that is almost impossible to regulate (in new construction 2024).

Almost. Nice addition to the word. If everything works out as planned, we will only need the tile stove to heat the entire house during winter. The heat pump will mostly stay off. This is not a standard highly insulated box-shaped house with a heat pump.
