Frequently asked questions

Is underfloor heating worthwhile in Alicante or does it make more sense only in the bathroom?

It depends on whether you want to improve bathroom comfort or heat a larger area. In Alicante, consider the home's insulation, usage schedule and installation and running costs. A localised solution and a whole-house system meet different needs; the decision must be based on your home and intended use.

What is the difference between electric and water-based underfloor heating, and which suits my renovation?

An electric system heats through cables, while a water-based system circulates hot water through pipes connected to a heat source. To choose, compare the area, available height, insulation, usage and existing equipment. The most suitable system should be assessed as part of the overall renovation and its running costs.

How much does installation cost and how is energy consumption during use estimated?

Installation must be quoted according to the area, chosen system and necessary preparation. For an electric system, consumption is estimated by multiplying power in kW by the actual heating hours; the cost of that energy depends on the tariff. Scheduled operating time does not always mean continuous consumption because the thermostat controls operation.

Can it be installed beneath porcelain tiles in an existing home and how much does it raise the floor?

It may be feasible if the chosen system is compatible with porcelain tiles and the home's substrate. The final height depends on all required layers, including preparation, insulation and the finish. Before choosing, check doors and junctions with other rooms; the thickness must be confirmed for the specific solution.

Can it heat the entire room or is it mainly intended to keep the floor from feeling cold?

It can provide room heating if it is sized to meet the room's needs. This requires assessing heat losses, the area that can be heated and usable output. If the capacity is insufficient, it can be considered as a supplementary system to improve floor comfort.

Does it need to stay on all day or can it be programmed to run at set times?

It can be scheduled according to the installed system and thermostat. Programming must take into account how long the floor takes to warm up, insulation and when the room is used. Maintaining a selected temperature does not mean heating continuously, and the most suitable operating pattern must be assessed for each installation.

Underfloor heating installation in Alicante by Royal Imbau

How we do it

Good underfloor heating installation starts with integration into the work

Underfloor heating is efficient and comfortable, but success depends on correct installation: substrate preparation, choosing a system suited to the floor and project, coordinating plumbing or electrics and carefully laying flooring over the system. Royal Imbau integrates it into the construction work so everything is coordinated and well executed.

Electric underfloor heating

Quickly installed heating mats or cables, ideal for bathroom, kitchen or individual-room renovations. Low consumption in small areas and easy integration beneath ceramic or porcelain flooring.

Hydronic underfloor heating

Hot-water pipe system connected to a boiler or heat pump. Greater energy efficiency over large areas. Requires more screed height and coordination with plumbing.

Integration with flooring

Adhesive choice, layer thickness and floor type determine correct operation without risk of cracking or detachment.

Installation in new builds or renovations

We integrate underfloor heating into new builds or full renovations where opening the floor allows proper installation without improvisation.

What underfloor heating installation in Alicante includes

The exact scope depends on the system, space and construction context; these are the typical tasks.

Assessment and system selection

Analysing space, use, flooring and project to recommend the best system (electric or hydronic).

Substrate preparation

Cleaning and preparing the screed, levelling and correcting irregularities before system installation.

Electric system installation

Installing heating mats or cables with controlled spacing, thermostat and correct electrical connection.

Hydronic system installation

Installing cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes fixed to mesh, connecting the manifold and pressure testing.

Mortar or self-levelling layer

Applying bonding or self-levelling mortar to cover the system and prepare the flooring substrate.

Waterproofing (in wet areas)

Waterproofing bathrooms or other wet areas before tiling where required by the system.

Flooring installation

Installing ceramic or porcelain flooring with flexible adhesive suitable for underfloor heating and correct movement joints.

Thermostat programming

Setting up temperature controls and testing the complete system.

Inspection and handover

Checking the operating system and flooring, then handover with instructions.

Frequently asked questions about underfloor heating in Alicante

What is the difference between electric and hydronic underfloor heating?

Electric systems use mains-connected heating mats or cables, are easier to install and suit small areas. Hydronic systems use hot-water pipes, are more efficient over large areas, but need a boiler or heat pump connection.

What flooring is compatible with underfloor heating?

Ceramic and porcelain are most recommended because of low thermal resistance. Use special flexible adhesive for underfloor heating and respect movement joints.

Can you install underfloor heating during a bathroom renovation?

Yes. We integrate electric underfloor heating into bathroom renovations, coordinating substrate, waterproofing and final tiling.

Can underfloor heating be installed without removing the existing floor?

It depends on floor condition and available height. During the visit we assess feasibility or whether flooring must be removed for correct installation.

Do you work throughout Alicante province?

We work in Alicante and other Costa Blanca towns depending on the project and availability.

Is the quote non-binding?

Yes. We visit, assess and prepare a proposal before starting. No commitment.
