Wall heating systems offer energy-efficient heating and cooling

Wall heating systems offer a discreet alternative to traditional radiators and underfloor heating by utilizing pipes hidden beneath plaster. This method distributes heat through a large surface area via thermal radiation, which can achieve comfortable temperatures using lower water temperatures—approximately 26 to 38 °C—compared to the up to 60 °C required by standard radiators.

Beyond heating, these systems can function as a cooling solution during summer months. By circulating cooler water (between 16 and 20 °C) through the same pipes, the walls absorb excess heat from the room. This provides a quiet cooling effect without the air currents typical of conventional air conditioning units.
