- Lutger 3y agoThe floor heating itself isn't that expensive, the problem is you need to redo you floor, which sometimes means destroying it and doing a new install. We wanted a new floor anyway so not a problem, but if you have something expensive it will add up.
- brabel 3y agoWhen I bought the house, it already had floor heating across the entire plan... but from what I see, it's not that hard to DIY if you're so inclined. Specially with floors like are typical in Sweden, it's like laminated flat boards that are easy to replace: https://www.bauhaus.se/hpl-laminatgolv-berryalloc-ek-vitoljad-skeppsgolv-1-stav-1-91m https://www.bauhaus.se/hpl-laminatgolv-berryalloc-ek-vitolja... It looks pretty good too... you need to do some cutouts for the warming pipes underneath, there's lots of Youtube videos showing how :D But luckily, my floor heating apparently is still in very good condition so it will be a while before I have to replace that.
