The wall heating not only warms the air, but also operates using comfortable radiant heat: the infra-red waves hit furnishings and unheated surfaces at right-angles. They emit this energy in turn in the form of heat. The people in the room are warmed "from the inside".  

This warmth is particularly pleasant for people, since it reminds us of the comforting warmth of the sun’s rays on our skin. 

Another benefit is that there is almost no convection, which means that the air in the room doesn’t become too dry in the winter.

During the summer months, cool water flows through the aluminium multi-layer composite pipes at a temperature of around 16-20 °C and cools the rooms to a comfortable and healthy temperature. Draughts and noise are a thing of the past – and the wall cooling can therefore also run at night. 

The extra benefit: There is no annoying air conditioning unit inside anymore - the walls can be tailored to your needs. A clear alternative to air conditioning systems.

When walls are plastered, the wall heating can be modified to suit all design requirements. Both large and small surfaces can be efficiently used.

The VarioBars for affixing the VarioProFile pipes (heating and cooling pipes) meet all comfort needs, with wider pipe spacing for large-area laying of the heating and cooling system and closer pipe spacing for comfy nooks and snug interior spaces.

Can I hang pictures on the wall if I have wall heating? Yes! The aluminium multi-layer composite pipes can be located at any time. The pipe locator locates the VarioProFile pipes thanks to their aluminium layer. It issues a beep signal and an LED lamp lights up to indicate that a pipe has been located.  

The pipes can also be located when the wall heating is in operation by using a Thermofoil.

Wall heating:

Wall heating operates with low flow temperatures. In other words: Due to the large-area laying, this surface heating can heat the room with flow temperatures of between 26 and 38 °C (depending on the outside temperature). By comparison, radiators require a flow temperature of up to 60 °C. That is because, due to their smaller surface area, they only radiate heat in the room at certain points. 

Another reason why surface heating saves energy is that  the room air temperature can be reduced by up to 2 °C compared to radiators. Even so, we feel comfortably warm in the room. Every degree less saves around 6% heating costs per year. 

Our tip: Insulate the outer walls and save even more on heating costs! 

Wall cooling: 

If the room is cooled via wall, we already feel comfortable at a room temperature of 26 °C. By comparison, if the room is cooled using an air conditioning unit, we need a room temperature of around 23 °C to achieve the same level of comfort. Therefore, with a surface cooling system, you save up to 30% on energy costs.

On top of this, the wall is cooled without making any noise or causing a draught.

Compared to the floor, a wall offers a larger exchange area for heating and cooling. We receive more radiant energy than with floor heating systems. 

Briefly explained: with radiant heat the infrared rays are emitted at right-angles to the wall. This means that with wall heating, they exchange radiant heat directly with the person in the room. The body is warmed “from the inside”. With floor heating, only a lower percentage of the potential surface area of a person’s skin is exposed to the direct exchange of radiant heat.

With wall heating, the person in the room can choose their distance from the heating surface themselves. With floor heating, they are in direct contact with the heating surface. 

The ideal solution is wall heating combined with floor heating.

One more benefit: During the summer, the wall cools your home to a comfortable temperature.
