Floor heating guide
How long does floor heating last?
The pipe in a hydronic system is made to last as long as the building: quality multilayer and PEX pipe is designed for a service life of 50 years or more. Pumps, valves and the boiler or heat pump wear out sooner and are replaced like any heating equipment. GSAT gives a lifetime warranty on the floor heating pipe it installs.

Part by part
- Pipe in the screed: protected from sunlight, impact and frost, carrying low-temperature water. Designed to last 50 years or more.
- Manifold and valves: accessible in a cabinet, serviced or replaced when needed without touching the floor.
- Pumps, boiler or heat pump: like any heating plant, these have a shorter life and are maintained and replaced over the years.
Does it stay warm after it is switched off?
Yes. A screed floor stores heat, so it keeps giving warmth for several hours after the heating stops. The same mass is why it takes a few hours to warm up from cold.
GSAT warranty
