Underfloor heating installation

Rome had this two thousand years ago. The hypocaust, refined by Sergius Orata around 80 BC and described in detail by Vitruvius, raised floors on brick pillars and drove hot air from a furnace beneath, heating baths and villas across the empire without a single pump. 🏛️

Underfloor heating distributes heat across 100% of the floor area, reducing cold spots and improving thermal comfort. It operates efficiently with water temperatures of 30–45°C (vs. 60–75°C for radiators), potentially cutting heating energy use by 15–30% in well-insulated homes.

There... fixed it for you. isolation and fixing layer.

@grok what metrial pipe are they using for boiling hot water.

nah, now speed up 🚀

one of those installations that looks like a nightmare to do but completely changes how a space feels in winter

Why installing it under floor why you could convert the heat into energy

I guess this is Russia. LMAO

Most unethical way to waste energy and leaving huge carbon footprint. There are better way to keep oneself warm.

Some of the most interesting forms of infrastructure is the kind people barely notice.

I remember pouring concrete on these jobs. we called them radiant floors.

Glad we are spared from this tedious process.

imagining how shitty it would look if i tried

Is this more energy efficient than forced air,

Kutuplarda degilse bence icerisi mini firin gibi olur. Hortumlar birbirine fazla yakin. Ayrica alttaki strafor cok ince. Dogalgazi bedava buldular sanirim.

Where is the insulation?

I'll never understand it. I'm walking around the house barefoot and in the winter I'd have socks or more on. Oh the floor is warmer?

Interesting topic, always useful in colder climates

Pannello piatto. Lo ffanno e se lo ffanno. Li feci anche io nel lontano 2006-2008 piu' o meno. Li dimensionavo e preventivavo. Ad oggi ricordo piu' o meno. Ma cmq non sono piu' molto interessato. Ormai, son miliardario poi mi son buttato sui motori, anche sotto🙆‍♂️ 🛻 Pensavo che

Hey @grok, what is benefit?

Pros will be pros.
