Robustness, good heat storage properties and simple, clean handling with low layer thickness – these are the hallmarks of our OSB underfloor heating set. With OSB boards, we have chosen a versatile material that is already frequently used in the construction and renovation of living spaces.
For the robust OSB set, we have chosen a handy panel size of 1,200 × 600 mm, which has already proven itself in drywall ceiling heating. Thanks to the virtually tool-free installation with plug-in connectors, short drying times for the construction chemicals and connection to conventional heating systems with RTL technology, you can create additional heating comfort for your home in just a few steps.
Depending on the condition of the existing floor and the required load-bearing capacity, as well as the sound and fire protection requirements, the OSB underfloor heating system can be installed as either a single-layer or a multi-layer system. The milled OSB panel with 100 mm milling circles allows for highly flexible and customisable heating pipe installations and small installation distances.
Due to the milling structure of OSB boards, this type of thin-layer underfloor heating requires very little filling compound. Only the milled grooves need to be filled, which not only reduces the cost of construction chemicals but also significantly shortens the drying time. The final floor covering can usually be laid the very next day, and the new underfloor heating system can be put into operation once the surface has been completed.

We are often asked how much it costs to retrofit underfloor heating per square metre. Before answering this question, we first enquire about the initial situation. How many rooms are to be retrofitted? How large are the heating surfaces? What is the condition of the floor? When was the house built? Is there thermal insulation? Is there a heating load calculation? Can the installation be carried out by the customer?
With the information on the initial conditions, we can suggest a suitable underfloor heating system and thus specify the costs for the heating technology.
However, the costs for retrofitting underfloor heating also include the costs of installation, the expenses for construction chemicals and, if necessary, for the disposal of the old floor. Our tips on cost calculation explain exactly which cost items need to be taken into account here.
For structural calculations in the run-up to a house modernisation, it is sometimes necessary to know how much weight the underfloor heating will put on a floor. Of course, the weight depends on the individual floor structure and the materials used. Nevertheless, the weight of the FLEXIRO components can be calculated.
The levelling compound accounts for the majority of the total weight. The specific weight of a levelling compound is typically between 1.6 and 1.8 kg/m² per 1 mm layer thickness. With a construction height of 17 mm, an estimated weight of approx. 26 kg/m² can be expected. The underfloor heating itself adds only approx. 1.9–2.2 kg/m², even when filled with water. Therefore, the thin-layer system is much lighter than a standard underfloor heating system where the heating screed must be included in the calculation.
The minimum coverage for the heating pipes is 3 mm. However, the required layer thickness depends on the flooring material selected. The minimum layer thickness is only recommended for tiles and ceramic materials. Other flooring materials require an additional 5 mm of coverage. The levelling compound must be flexible and bear the manufacturer's mark indicating suitability for thin-layer underfloor heating. To ensure optimum heating and cooling performance, apply the levelling compound as thinly as possible. Precise information on the thermal resistance of standard floor coverings can be found in our underfloor heating technical sheet.
We provide answers to the most important questions about insulating a low profile heating system.
