Retrofitting Radiant Heating in Older Buildings. Why It Is a Worthwhile Project
In new-build homes, surface heating systems are now standard. A high level of thermal comfort even at a room temperature of 20°C, combined with low flow temperatures of 30°C, enables efficient operation when used with a heat pump as the heat source. This is why the vast majority of new builds incorporate surface heating in the form of ceiling, wall or underfloor heating. However, even in older buildings, the benefits of surface heating can be retrofitted without having to replace the existing heating system. The FLEXIRO system kits enable retrofitting as a DIY project at low cost.

Wall heating
Ceiling heating
Reasons to retrofit surface heating
- Thermal comfort through radiant heat
- Even heat distribution
- Freedom in interior design; no radiators required
- Less air turbulence and therefore fewer allergens in the indoor air; healthy heating
- Low flow temperatures enable good energy efficiency compared to radiator heating systems
- An ideal complement to renewable energy sources such as solar thermal, geothermal energy or a heat pump
FLEXIRO heating kits - retrofit radiant heating where you need it
Our heating kits for selective retrofitting of surface heating in older buildings also offer the benefits listed above when used in combination with the existing heating system. Rooms with special thermal comfort requirements can be retrofitted with our heating kits and connected to conventional heating systems with a flow temperature of 70°C using RTL valves.
Which radiant heating system is used depends on the spatial conditions and individual thermal comfort requirements. Specific features of our kits are discribed on the product pages. Irrespective of whether underfloor, wall or ceiling heating is chosen, the flexible installation of the 10 mm PE-RT heating pipe, the low installation height, the well thought-out plug-in system and the possibility of integration into drylining panels make the retrofitting of FLEXIRO radiant heating in old buildings a worthwhile project.
