When it comes to solutions for living well-being, underfloor cooling is an option increasingly considered by those who want invisible, silent and low-energy impact summer comfort. In particular, when combined with efficient heating systems and heat pumps, it can contribute to optimal temperature management year-round.
How underfloor cooling works
This technology uses a network of pipes located under the floor, through which chilled water circulates at a low temperature (around 16-18°C). The principle is simple: the heat present in the rooms is gradually absorbed by the floor, reducing the internal temperature uniformly and without generating annoying drafts.
Unlike traditional air conditioners, which work by cooling the air, radiant cooling works on the surfaces. This approach makes the perception of coolness more natural and constant, improving living comfort in every room.
The advantages of a radiant system in summer
Underfloor cooling systems offer various benefits, both practical and energy-efficient:
-
Even distribution of coolness throughout all rooms
-
No noise and no direct air flow
-
Invisible and discreet system, with no visible elements
-
Reduced electricity consumption, thanks to the low water temperature
-
Compatibility with heat pumps and renewable energy systems
One of the most efficient combinations is the use of reversible heat pumps, capable of managing both winter heating and summer cooling through a single centralized system.
When to choose radiant cooling
Installing an underfloor cooling system is ideal in new homes or during major renovations, as it requires minimal structural work. However, today there are more streamlined solutions, such as dry radiant panels, which allow for quicker installation even in single rooms.
An investment in efficiency and value
Choosing an underfloor cooling system means choosing a sustainable, discreet, and long-lasting solution. Summer comfort is achieved naturally, while simultaneously improving energy efficiency and the value of the home.
