Floor areas

Low-profile floor heating systems are becoming increasingly popular and add an extra level of comfort to your tiled or natural stone floors, and not just during the colder months of the year. In addition to their benefits in terms of efficiency and sustainability, our floor heating systems also prevent mould growth by facilitating the drying out of residual moisture in the room. We offer both electric and water-guided (hydronic) floor heating systems.

Water-based floor heating systems use hot water instead of electricity and are the best solution for heating larger floor areas. They heat both the room and the surfaces and can therefore replace conventional radiators as the primary heat source.

Electric floor heating systems are recommended for comfort heating in certain areas as a secondary heat source, as the heating cables can be individually routed to wherever heat is desired. They also serve as a protective membrane and have the added advantage of being waterproof. Thanks to the short warm-up times and precise timing, operating an electric floor heating system is more cost-effective than you might expect.

The Peel & Stick versions of our systems are particularly practical and time-saving. With a pressure-sensitive adhesive laminated to the bottom surface and without the need to mix or spread tile adhesive in order to apply the membrane, these versions make electric floor heating systems quick, clean and easy to install.

You're looking for reliable sound insulation that meets high demands? Our Schlüter-DITRA-SOUND is the ideal solution for ceramic and natural stone floor coverings. The innovative heavy foil with applied fleece not only ensures secure bonding between the tile covering and substrate, it also effectively reduces impact sound – generated e.g. by heavy footwear or falling objects – thanks to its special structure. This system solution ensures a quiet living and working atmosphere by acoustically insulating rooms already during tiling.

Due to its high load-bearing capacity, our composite sound insulation can handle larger loads without any problems. In addition, cracks in the substrate can be reliably prevented with DITRA-SOUND so that your tile coverings are protected in the long term. Thanks to its low installation height, the DITRA-SOUND mat is particularly versatile and enables a flexible floor covering arrangement.

Tiled floors are easy to maintain, but require adequate protection to ensure durability. Our Schlüter-SCHIENE baseboards (also called profiles) are designed to prevent tile edges from chipping and cracking. They also provide a smooth, attractive transition without trip hazards between floor coverings of the same height. If the adjacent floor coverings are of different heights, we recommend using our transition profiles from the Schlüter-RENO series.

All buildings and their materials expand and contract when the temperature changes. This must be compensated for by installing movement joints to prevent tiles from cracking under the load. There are many factors to consider when deciding where to install movement joints, and we will be happy to advise you on your project. Whether connection, edge or construction joints – the Schlüter DILEX range includes various types of movement joints for different applications.

The edges of stairs are exposed to strong mechanical loads and pose a high risk of injury if not executed properly. The Schlüter-TREP range of stair edge profiles has a slip-resistant design and excellent visibility. It improves safety and also offers retrofitting options if the cladding has already been completed.

And if you are using resilient coverings such as PVC, LVT, design flooring or vinyl instead of tiles or natural stone, you can also optimally protect the edges of such coverings with our profiles from the Schlüter-VINPRO range.
