Wall heating is the ideal solution when using eco-joists or I-Beam joists or timber frame constructions. As the joists can’t be notched and usually have the flooring down, underfloor heating can be difficult to fit. You would have to fit from below or raise the floor above and both of these options are not very cost effective, wall heating solves both these problems.

Variotherm modular wall heating system is a modern, high output, efficient and cost effective heating solution that can be installed where other heating methods can’t be used.

Wall heating systems work very similar to underfloor heating in that they heat a room predominantly by radiation (like the sun) as a result of pumping warm water through looped pipes. Wall heating systems are often used as an alternative to UFH in renovation projects. Until the recent additions of retrofit and wall heating systems, installing ufh resulted in the floor having to be excavated. Although Retrofit UFH kits have eliminated the need to fully excavate flooring, this does not mean wall heating systems are now redundant. It is not always economically viable to re-lay flooring after installing ufh such as in renovations of older homes.
