Bedroom
Every room gets its own circuit, routed to spread heat without cold spots.

Chapter 1
Comfort starts in the floor
The whole floor plan got underfloor heating: circuits balanced room by room and a 7-circuit manifold.
Main room
The pipe traces the room's geometry before disappearing.
7-circuit manifold
Every circuit leaves pressure-tested before the screed.
Chapter 2
Then it vanishes under the screed
The best installation is the one you never see: the screed covers the circuits and the house is ready for any flooring.
The hallway, before
Freshly laid circuits on the studded panel.
The same hallway
Days later: the screed covers the work for good.
The transition
The exact border between what we install and what you see.
Chapter 3
The heart: the plant room
Heat pump, hot-water storage, water softener and buffer tank — mounted, insulated and arranged to last decades.
During assembly
The indoor unit open: pump, copper and valves in view.
Valves and distribution
Every line identifiable, every valve reachable.
Finished plant room
Cylinder, softener and buffer: insulated and in order.
Chapter 4
Climate you can't see
Ducted air: the machine lives in the false ceiling and all that's left on the wall is a thermostat.
The fan coil, hidden
Hung from the slab and insulated before the ceiling closed.
Refrigerant lines
The lines arrive clean at the unit.
The only visible part
Of the whole installation, this is all the client touches.
The result
A house that heats and cools itself
Double-height spaces, a sculptural staircase and not a machine in sight. Finished in 2018, running ever since — and we still do the maintenance.
Towards the window
The same floor you saw in red, now invisible.
Frequently asked questions about underfloor heating and heat pumps
Does underfloor heating also cool in summer?
No. It provides heat, and in Mallorca cooling never goes through the floor: with the humidity it would condense. In this house the summer cooling comes from the ducted air hidden in the false ceiling. A single technical room covers comfort all year round.
Can underfloor heating be installed in a renovation?
Yes, as in this project: the circuits are laid over a studded panel and covered with a mortar screed; any flooring then goes on top. The key is to allow for the height of that screed when planning the renovation, so it is worth discussing before the work starts.
Who maintains the installation after the work?
We keep maintaining it ourselves. This house was finished in 2018 and has been running ever since with our maintenance. As an RITE-registered company, we leave the installation legalised and follow it up year after year. The Spanish RITE (table 3.1 of IT.3, BOE consolidated text) sets maintenance at least every 4 years for a heat pump of up to 12 kW in a home. In Llucmajor, with the hardness of the water here, we do not leave it that long.
