Are our tiles compatible with under-floor heating?
A perfect compatibility between stone and underfloor heating !
Yes, the tiles in Burgundy limestones are compatible with under-floor heating.
Indeed, inertia is almost the same as the heating slab.
There will be no heat loss in both heating and cooling.
You simply need to use a specific "flex" adhesive for underfloor heating, such as the Prolicrème reference from Parexlanko. In the case of installation on anhydrite screed, a specific adhesive must be used.
1.5 cm or 2 m thickness for limestone with underfloor heating ?
Often the question of thickness arises.
Wishing a minimum thickness we think of a better inertia.
It should be known that the loss, if any, in heating is compensated proportionally in cooling.
Let's take an example to illustrate (whose values are false) :
A slab of 1.5 cm thick takes 10 minutes to heat up to the floor temperature (28 ° celsius degree).
It takes 7 minutes to cool down and return to a 19 ° temperature before triggering the heater.
A 2 cm slab will take 12 minutes to heat up to 28 ° and 9 minutes to cool down and return to a temperature of 19 ° before the heater is triggered.
Loss or gain offset each other. Moreover the slabs in thickness 1.5 cm will be limited in dimensions. (less thick it is, less the format will be large - see DTU 51.1 or 52.2).
The coefficient of thermal resistance for a paving of thickness of 2 cm
Most of our Burgundy limestones are between 1.65 and 1.7.
The coefficient of thermal resistance for paving in our natural stones from Burgundy in thickness of 2 cm is an average of 0.012 m2. K/W. (source CTMNC)
