Surface heating and cooling uses a large heat-exchange area - the ceiling, wall or floor - to transfer heat, instead of classic radiators. Thanks to the low-temperature heating medium (typically 30-40 °C), it is a good match for heat pumps and condensing boilers, and in summer the same distribution system also enables radiant cooling.
In this category you will find the complete installation system: system insulation boards with a protective waterproofing film for laying the pipework, PEX and PE-RT pipe with an oxygen barrier, radiant ceiling heating and cooling panels (steel and plasterboard versions), PRESS fittings and valves for connecting the distribution system, and additional accessories - fixing rails, bends and clips.
The range is intended for installers and installation companies carrying out new builds and renovations, where underfloor, wall or ceiling heating is combined with the option of summer cooling.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between underfloor and ceiling surface heating? The principle is the same - a large heat-exchange area with a low-temperature medium - only the location of the distribution (in the floor, ceiling or wall) and the response speed differ; ceiling panels react to a temperature change faster than underfloor heating.
- Can the system also be used for cooling? Yes, the same pipe or panel distribution works in reverse in summer - a lower-temperature medium cools the surface and removes heat from the room, but the risk of condensation (dew point) must be addressed.
- What pipe is used for surface heating? Usually PEX or PE-RT with an oxygen barrier (EVOH layer), which prevents oxygen diffusion into the heating circuit and protects the system's steel components from corrosion.
- What is a system insulation board used for? A board with moulded studs (grid) holds the pipe at the exact spacing during installation and also provides thermal insulation downwards/into the wall, so heat is directed into the room.
