Floor sensor in underfloor heating: when it is needed and what it protects

In addition to the room thermostat, a floor temperature sensor is used in some installations.

Floor surface protection

In wooden or sensitive floors, it can be used to limit the maximum surface temperature.

Comfort control

In rooms such as bathrooms, it can help maintain the desired floor temperature.

Does not always replace the room thermostat

The floor sensor usually acts as a limit or supplementary information rather than as the sole control for room temperature.

Installation

It must be installed in a suitable location, inside a protective conduit where required, so that it can be replaced.
