Chosen Answer
yeeeehaw: I have not dealt specifically with european countries, but in general underfloor heating can be accomplished in two ways:
- build a raised floor forced air system (expensive and impractical on a residential level)
- construct piping under the floor to provide heat
Under floor piping can be built into a cement floor or can be attached underneath a wooden floor. The piping is usually copper or plastic tubing and is usually piped back to a manifold system. This manifold can be zoned so that different areas that require different amounts of heat can be controlled separately.
