Retrofitting Ceiling Heating Kits with Drywall Plasterboard
Build a pleasant and healthy indoor climate at your home
The FLEXIRO system kit for hydronic ceiling heating enables the retrospective thermal activation of ceiling surfaces. It is installed as a drywall ceiling with prefabricated heating elements. The kit includes an RTL valve for connection to conventional heating systems and plug-in connections for easy installation. For the thermal conditioning of larger rooms, several ceiling heating systems can be combined and connected with control boxes or a heating circuit manifold.
Ceiling heating creates a healthy room climate thanks to uniform radiant heat without raising dust and is therefore also used in many hospitals. Ceiling cooling is also possible with the system. Our kits provide year-round climate comfort for retrofitting.

If there is an unheated room above the planned ceiling heating and the old ceiling has no thermal insulation or the heat transfer coefficient of the ceiling is unknown, we recommend installing an additional layer of insulation. In any case, thermal insulation above the ceiling heating will improve the response time of the heating.
The substructure for the ceiling heating should fulfil the dry construction guidelines for suspended ceilings. When using CD profiles and direct hangers, a suspended height of approx. 5 cm can be used for planning. A small distance to the bare ceiling is required for looping through the FLEXIRO connection pipes and plug-in connections. The dry construction guidelines also permit the use of wooden battens as a substructure for the plasterboard panels. However, their dimensional accuracy and torsional rigidity is usually less good compared to CD profiles made of sheet metal.
