Wall Heating renovation
The wall heating offers numerous advantages, especially in old buildings and renovations
A wall heating is the ideal solution to heat existing buildings in an energy efficient and comfortable way without having to carry out extensive construction work, as it can be space-savingly integrated into the existing building structure. The installation is comparatively simple and ensures a comfortable indoor climate with evenly distributed radiant heat.
Wall Heating briefly explained
A wall heating is a modern surface heating system where heating pipes are installed in or on the wall surface. It emits pleasant radiant heat – similar to solar heat – and thus ensures an even, healthy indoor climate without air turbulence. The water-based wall heating is particularly efficient, ideally combinable with heat pumps or solar energy. It is suitable for both new construction and renovation and can even be used for cooling in the summer.
Why renovate a Wall Heating?
Wall Heating is the most comfortable of all surface heating systems. A Wall Heating provides pleasant Radiant Heat, is invisibly integrated into the wall, and creates a particularly healthy indoor climate without dust and drafts. It operates with low flow temperatures, saves energy, and can be ideally combined with heat pumps. Whether in new construction or during Renovation – modern systems like those from Variotherm are slim in design, quickly installed, and even suitable for cooling in summer. Those who rely on sustainable building technology can hardly avoid Wall Heating.
How does a Wall Heating work?
Surface heating systems, which include wall heating, operate on the principle of radiant heat. Unlike conventional radiators, which primarily warm the room air, wall heating transfers its heat directly to surfaces and thus indirectly to the surroundings.
This creates a pleasant and natural heat distribution in the room.
Features of the Variotherm Wall Heating
A particular advantage of the Variotherm Wall Heating is the quick and uncomplicated installation. This significantly reduces the installation effort, which is especially beneficial during renovations.
Thanks to the low space requirement, the Wall Heating can be easily integrated into existing rooms without losing much ceiling height – ideal for renovations and modernizations. The innovative technology also ensures efficient and even heat distribution, guaranteeing a comfortable room temperature.
Additionally, the system is flexibly applicable and can be optimally combined with modern heating systems such as heat pumps to offer a sustainable and energy efficient solution.
Before the wall heating can be installed, the wall must be prepared accordingly. This includes removing existing wall coverings and checking the substrate for load-bearing capacity. If there are any damages, they must be repaired before installation.
After the preparation, the installation of the wall heating takes place. In the drywall construction variant, the prefabricated elements with integrated heating pipes are attached to a substructure. In the plastered variant, the heating pipes are embedded directly into a special plaster layer. To ensure a proper installation, an innovative installer you trust should be consulted. A professional expert can help avoid mistakes and guarantee optimal performance.
The next crucial step is connecting the wall heating to the existing heating system. The heating pipes are connected to a manifold, which is, for example, connected to a heat pump. Precise coordination with the existing heating technology is essential to ensure efficient heat distribution and optimize energy consumption.
After installation and connection, the wall heating can be individually designed. In the drywall construction variant, this is done by filling, plastering, or painting the gypsum fiberboards. In the plastering solution, the surface is plastered directly over the heating pipes. This final phase not only contributes to the aesthetics of the room but also influences the efficiency of heat emission. Proper processing ensures a long lifespan and an optimal room climate.

Cost of Wall Heating
The costs for a retrofitted wall heating system depend on several factors: material costs, installation costs, and operating costs. A significant cost factor is the choice of components. Purchasing individual components such as heating pipes, plasterboards, and screws separately can often result in higher overall costs.
Here, complete systems offer an economical alternative: by combining all necessary components in a coordinated system, not only can material costs be reduced, but installation times can also be shortened, which in turn reduces labor costs. Additionally, complete solutions guarantee optimal coordination of the individual elements, leading to higher efficiency and a longer lifespan of the system.
Regarding operating costs, there is the following clear calculation example:
