Floor Heating Lebanon: Underfloor Heating Systems by GSAT

GSAT has designed and supplied floor heating systems in Lebanon since 1990. From mountain chalets to Beirut apartment towers, our underfloor heating gives even, comfortable warmth from the floor up, with no bulky radiators and lower energy use.

How a floor heating system works

Hot water circulates through PEX pipe laid under your floor finish. The whole floor becomes a gentle radiator, heating the room evenly from the ground up. It works with boilers, heat pumps and solar water heating.

Benefits of underfloor heating

• Even comfort: warmth spreads across the whole floor instead of concentrating near a radiator, so there are no cold corners.floor heating Lebanon
• Clean design: nothing is mounted on your walls, which gives you more freedom with furniture and layout.
• Energy efficiency: floor heating runs at lower water temperatures than radiators, which suits boilers and solar water heating well.
• Healthier air: gentle radiant heat doesn’t blow dust around the way forced-air systems can.
• Quiet operation: no fans and no noise.

Floor heating vs radiators

Radiators heat the air around them, so warmth concentrates near the wall and rises to the ceiling. Floor heating spreads heat across the entire floor surface, so the room feels evenly warm at head height and at foot level. Because it works at lower water temperatures, it also pairs well with modern boilers and solar water heating. Radiators are quicker to install in an existing building, while floor heating is the better choice for new builds and renovations where the floor is already being redone. Many clients choose floor heating for living areas and bathrooms and keep other solutions elsewhere.

Where floor heating works best in Lebanon

Floor heating is popular in mountain villas and chalets, where cold winters make comfort a priority. It also suits Beirut apartments, new residential towers, gyms, ice rinks and commercial spaces. We’ve installed systems in all of these, from Faqra Hills to Achrafieh and Monteverde.

What we provide

• Detailed AutoCAD design before execution
• Multi-layer PEX pipe
• Manifolds, valves and controls from brands such as Emmeti, FIV and Olab
• Professional installation and finishing
• Maintenance for heating and mechanical rooms

Our floor heating installation process

1. Site study: we review your plans and heating requirements.
2. AutoCAD design: we prepare a detailed layout before any work begins.
3. Supply: we provide PEX pipe, manifolds, valves and controls.
4. Installation: our team lays the circuits and connects them to the manifold.
5. Testing and commissioning: we pressure-test and check the system before the floor is finished.

Planning your floor heating project

The best time to plan floor heating is early, before the floor build-up is decided. Bring us your architectural plans and we’ll advise on:

• which rooms to heat and how many circuits you need
• the floor build-up and insulation layers
• the heat source (boiler, heat pump or solar)
• how to place manifolds and controls so they’re easy to reach

Our AutoCAD designs show the pipe layout for every room, so your contractor and flooring team know exactly what goes where before work starts.

Maintenance and long-term service

A well-installed floor heating system needs very little attention, since the pipes sit inside the floor. What does need checking is the equipment around it: manifolds, valves, pumps and the mechanical room. GSAT provides maintenance for heating and plumbing systems and mechanical rooms, so your system keeps running reliably year after year.

Components of a floor heating system

• PEX multi-layer pipe: carries hot water under the floor.
• Manifolds: distribute water to each heating circuit.
• Valves and controls: regulate temperature room by room.
• Insulation and accessories: direct heat upward into the room.

Floor coverings for underfloor heating

Tile and natural stone transfer heat very well and are the most common choice. Engineered wood and some other finishes can also work, depending on the product. Tell us your floor finish when you contact us and we’ll advise.

Why choose GSAT for floor heating in Lebanon

Since 1990 we’ve completed 500+ projects across Lebanon. We design before we build, supply quality European components, and deliver on time with exceptional finishing.

Floor heating FAQ

Is floor heating suitable for Lebanese homes?
Yes. It suits villas, apartments, chalets and commercial spaces, and it works especially well in mountain areas.

Can it be installed in an existing building?
In many cases yes, depending on the floor build-up. Contact us and we’ll assess your project.

What floors work with it?
Tile and stone are the most common, and several other finishes also work.

Can floor heating be controlled room by room?
Yes. Each room or zone can have its own circuit and temperature control.

Does floor heating work with solar water heating?
It can. The low water temperatures floor heating uses pair well with solar water heating. We install both, so we can design them to work together.
