Slotting for underfloor heating is a common solution to install underfloor heating in an existing home without having to raise the floor. At WijSlopenNu, we specialize in the efficient and professional milling of slots for underfloor heating, so that you can enjoy a comfortable and even heat distribution in your home.
What is slotting for underfloor heating?
Slotting for underfloor heating is an effective method of installing underfloor heating in an existing home without raising the floor. Here, slots about 20 mm deep are milled into the screed, in which the underfloor heating pipes are laid in a cochlea pattern for even heat distribution. This technique is ideal for renovations, as the pipes are placed directly into the floor without increasing the floor height, resulting in a seamless finish.
- Uniform heat distribution: Optimal heat distribution thanks to the cochlea pattern.
- No raising of the floor: Maintaining the original floor height.
- Suitable for renovations: Ideal for existing homes without major modifications.
- Seamless finish: No high thresholds or raised floors.
- Fast and efficient installation: Less breakage and disruption of everyday life.
- Energy efficient: Reduced energy costs through efficient heating.
The method of slotting milling for underfloor heating
The process of milling slots involves several steps. First of all, the space is prepared by emptying it and thoroughly cleaning the floor. Obstacles such as skirting boards are removed. Then, using a special milling machine, slots in the screed are milled according to the desired pattern and at the appropriate depth.
After the slots are milled, the underfloor heating pipes are laid in the slots and connected to the heating system. This process requires precision and expertise to ensure that the pipes are installed correctly and function optimally. Then the slots are lubricated with a special mortar or leveling compound to create a flat surface for the new floor covering.
Advantages of slot milling for underfloor heating
One of the biggest advantages of slotting for underfloor heating is that the floor height hardly increases. As a result, doors and frames do not need to be adjusted. This saves time and money during installation and ensures seamless integration of the underfloor heating into your existing home.
In addition, slotting is a relatively quick and clean way to install underfloor heating without a lot of breaking work. This means that the installation is less messy and causes less disruption in your daily life.
Furthermore, the milling of slots ensures that the underfloor heating is evenly distributed over the floor, resulting in a consistent and comfortable warmth. This not only increases comfort in your home, but can also help reduce your energy costs through more efficient heating.
