Hello everyone,
Today we received the first quote from our heating installer.
The underfloor heating system is supposed to be from U.....OR.
Are there actually significant differences in quality and price when it comes to underfloor heating?
I mean, hopefully you never see the thing again anyway...
By the way, the offer was not for a system where the pipes are laid in a grid, but one where they are stapled down...
The question is whether it’s better or worse...

Hello,
just my amateur opinion...
We decided against various grid or studded systems and chose a staple fastening system instead. The main advantage I see is that the screed can cover a larger surface area of the pipe, which results in better heat transfer. Using the right tools, a friend and I installed the pipes and connected them to the manifold within 12 hours throughout the whole house.
I’m not entirely sure about the price anymore, but I believe the staple system is cheaper, although it requires a bit more time to install compared to the clip systems.

There are practically no differences in price and quality; it’s all just plastic anyway. What really matters is proper installation with the correct spacing...
