Imagine stepping out of a morning shower onto a gently warmed floor, or welcoming guests into a modern Amsterdam apartment where comfort rises invisibly from beneath elegant parquet. This quiet luxury is transforming how Dutch homeowners think about comfort and energy use. For anyone planning a home renovation, installing underfloor heating is one of the smartest upgrades available and All Round Interieur makes the entire process effortless.
In this article, we’ll explore why underfloor heating has become a hallmark of contemporary Dutch living, how it fits within wider renovation work such as joinery services, bathroom remodeling, and other projects managed by expert remodeling contractors, and how All Round Interieur helps homeowners in Amsterdam and beyond bring lasting warmth to their spaces.
1. Why Choose Underfloor Heating for Your Dutch Home?
When considering home renovation, many focus on new paint or flooring—but underfloor heating changes the game. Underfloor heating offers not just comfort, but a modern, energy-efficient way to warm your home. In Europe, the hydronic underfloor heating market is projected to grow from USD 2,254 million in 2025 to USD 4,140 million by 2035.Moreover, a global report noted the underfloor heating market was valued at USD 5.3 billion in 2024, with Europe outpacing other regions.
In the Netherlands specifically, homeowners are increasingly open to energy-efficient renovation outcomes, especially in places like Amsterdam where insulation, regulations and building style matter. Retrofitting or integrating underfloor heating into your home means you’re aligning your home renovation with future-proof standards.
Therefore, choosing underfloor heating during your renovation makes sense not just as a comfort upgrade, but as a smart investment.
2. Integrating Heating Within Broader Renovation Projects
Whether you’re completing a full home renovation, upgrading a single room, or planning bathroom remodeling, radiant floor systems can blend smoothly with other trades if timed correctly.
- Planning & Layout
A flooring specialist assesses sub-floor depth, insulation, and compatibility with materials such as parquet, laminate, or stone. Installing heating while laying new floors minimizes disruption later.
- Coordination with Joinery and Structural Work
All Round Interieur synchronizes joinery services custom cabinetry, window frames, or roof elements with heating installation. For example, during a living-room refit combining new wood flooring and built-in shelving, placing the pipes or cables before joinery fixes ensures perfect alignment and prevents rework.
- Bathroom and Multi-Room Applications
Bathrooms remain the most popular area for radiant floors in Amsterdam homes, where tile can feel chilly year-round. When you plan bathroom remodeling, extending underfloor heating into adjacent hallways or kitchens creates an uninterrupted warmth zone one that future-proofs your entire interior.
3. The Benefits: Efficiency, Comfort & Value
Installing underfloor heating brings multiple advantages valuable to homeowners, renovation professionals and property investors alike.
- Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
Lower temperature systems are typical for underfloor heating, making them compatible with heat pumps and renewable energy. This fits with Dutch regulatory emphasis on green building and retrofits. Some myths exist, such as “underfloor heating is far more expensive than radiators” but as Daikin explains, while installation cost may be ~30% higher, long-term savings and comfort make it worthwhile.
- Heating Comfort & Architectural Freedom
Without radiators cluttering walls, you gain design flexibility ideal when you’re undergoing a broad home renovation with custom joinery services and refined flooring finishes. The warmth is evenly spread, reducing cold spots and creating a luxurious feel underfoot.
- Property Value Boost
In Amsterdam’s competitive housing market, quality renovations matter. The Netherlands interior design market was valued at USD 1,261.47 million in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 1,666.72 million by 2032.A modern heating system like underfloor heating is a strong selling point and aligns with high end renovations delivered by skilled remodeling contractors.
4. Practical Considerations: What to Watch Out For
Even a smart upgrade comes with details worth managing especially within multi-trade projects involving remodeling contractors and joinery services.
- Installation Height & Flooring Compatibility
Depending on system type hydronic or electric floor build-up can range from 25 to 50 mm, including insulation and screed. Early consultation with your flooring and joinery teams ensures doors, skirting, and cabinetry align correctly.
- Retrofit Cost vs New Build
While newer builds can incorporate underfloor heating more easily, retrofit installations (especially in historic Amsterdam homes) may involve higher costs or more complex logistics. According to European market research, retrofit systems are growing but still present installation challenges.
- Choose the Right Specialist & Scope
Choose remodeling contractors who coordinate plumbing, screed, and electrical tasks in sequence. ARI provides that end-to-end structure—covering plumbing, joinery, and floor finishing so every layer works together seamlessly.
