Wood as a subfloor
Do you have a wooden floor? We never mill into the wood itself — that would damage the structure. Instead, we fit Fermacell or Knauf boards on top of the wooden boards and neatly mill the pipes into those. That way your wooden floor gets fully-fledged underfloor heating too.
Why boards on a wooden floor?
- Wooden structure stays intact — We never mill into the wooden boards themselves — the structural floor remains completely untouched.
- Lightweight dry system — Fermacell and Knauf boards are light, making them ideal for upper floors and wooden structures.
- Limited build-up height — The boards are thin, so you only lose a few centimetres of height.
- No drying time — A completely dry build-up: after fitting and milling, the finishing floor can go on straight away.
We assess beforehand whether the wooden floor is flat and sturdy enough for the boards. Where needed we level or reinforce it first. In dry-construction boards we work with 14 mm pipe as standard, matched to the board thickness.
From wooden floor to heated floor
From bare wooden boards to milled-in underfloor heating: the boards go in neatly and then we mill the pipes into them — low-dust and without touching the wooden structure.
Fitting pre-milled Knauf and Fermacell boards
Prefer boards with the channels already milled in at the factory? We fit those too: we lay the pre-milled Knauf or Fermacell boards, place the 14 mm pipe in the channels, fit the manifold and connect everything. Handy on upper floors, wooden floors and renovations where build-up height is limited. Having us mill the boards ourselves is of course also possible — we advise what is most economical in your situation.
- Laying the boards, placing the pipe, fitting and connecting the manifold — all from one team.
- Suitable for wooden floors, upper floors and renovations with limited height.
- No drying time: the finishing floor can go on straight after fitting.
