Pipelife: Comfort and clean architecture through surface heating and cooling systems

Floor Heating – Wet and Dry Systems

Traditional wet underfloor heating is ideal for new constructions where there is enough structural height. Pipes embedded in the screed ensure heat accumulation and even temperature distribution. The system is reliable, stable, and provides pleasant radiant heat with minimal heat losses.


For renovations or constructions with wooden ceilings, Pipelife offers a dry Flooré system, which does not require wet processes and has a very low structural height. Thanks to its lightweight composition and panels with a full-surface aluminum layer that provides excellent heat distribution, the system heats up and cools down quickly – ideal where quick regulation and low weight of construction are important.

Wall and Ceiling Systems – Heating and Cooling in One

Pipelife also offers wall and ceiling heating and cooling systems, providing a comfortable thermal environment without visible elements. These surface constructions utilize radiation – walls or ceilings gently radiate heat (in winter) or absorb excess heat (in summer).

An advantage is the uniform temperature field, no drafts, and completely hidden installation, which gives architects freedom in interior design. These systems can be applied both in monolithic concrete ceilings with an active core and in lightweight constructions, where gypsum boards with integrated pipes or prefabricated CDP panels for combined heating and cooling can be used.

Which Heating Option to Choose?

Both systems – radiant wall and underfloor heating – offer very similar advantages. The choice of the right solution always depends on the specific requirements of the project, structural conditions, and also on the personal preferences of the user.

"Underfloor heating is often perceived as more efficient due to its greater thermal accumulation. Many people also appreciate the pleasant feeling of warmth underfoot," explains Majid Saleh, product manager in heating and cooling at Pipelife. "However, every project is different – and a properly designed and insulated wall system can achieve completely comparable performance."

Efficiency and Flexibility

While underfloor heating has gained popularity, especially in new buildings, wall systems often offer lower acquisition costs and shorter installation times, making them an ideal choice for renovations.

For smaller modernization projects, such as replacing an old heating system with a more energy-efficient one, wall panels can be installed quickly and without extensive construction interventions.

Another advantage of wall heating is its quicker response time. Due to lower thermal inertia, the system easily adapts to current heating needs – an ideal solution for zone regulation and smart home management.

Modern Solutions for Renovations

"Given that the European Union is increasingly focusing on energy retrofitting of existing buildings, the interest in radiant wall systems is also growing across Europe," adds Saleh.

"Retrofitting wall heating is often significantly less demanding than with underfloor systems - often, it is enough to remove drywall, fix the panels, and finish the surface again. The entire process is quick, clean, and efficient."

Comprehensive System Solutions

Pipelife’s surface systems represent a combination of technical comfort and architectural purity – invisible heating and cooling that creates ideal conditions for modern housing, administrative, and public buildings. With a cohesive system that includes everything from system panels to control elements, designers and architects can be assured of the compatibility of all components and long-term reliability.
