Natural Comfort, Zero Compromises: MFH Systems IDEAL Surface Heating & Cooling

At ECS, we integrate advanced, sustainable climate solutions into your eco-homes and historic renovations. The IDEAL surface heating and cooling systems by MFH Systems deliver fast-reacting, energy-saving temperature control for floors, walls, and ceilings—designed to respect both your building’s heritage and the environment.

Why Choose IDEAL Surface Heating & Cooling?

Instead of traditional, sluggish underfloor heating, IDEAL systems feature cutting-edge aluminium heat-conducting plates for rapid, efficient warmth exactly when you need it. By operating at lower flow temperatures, they pair perfectly with modern heat pumps and renewable energy sources.

  • Ultra-Low Profile for Renovations: With systems starting at just 15mm in height (IDEAL TOP), it’s the ultimate solution for historic building restorations where preserving original floor levels and avoiding heavy structural alterations is critical.

  • Rapid Response Heating & Cooling: Highly conductive, full-surface aluminium plates eliminate heating lag, saving energy and maximising your comfort.

  • Versatile Application: Easily installed as floor, wall, or ceiling heating/cooling without invasive construction.

The Eco-Friendly ÖKO Series: Heating with Nature

For ECS projects focused on using natural, VOC-free materials, the IDEAL ÖKO series leads the industry in sustainable climate control:

1. IDEAL CLASSIC ÖKO 30 (Wood Fibre)

Made from high-density wood fibres, this system provides excellent thermal output while naturally absorbing impact sound (up to 27 dB reduction). It is fully recyclable and independently tested and recommended by the Institute for Building Biology (IBR) for a healthy, VOC-free living environment.

2. IDEAL CLASSIC ÖKO ST 30 (Straw-Based)

The ultimate in sustainable building. This system utilises compressed straw as the insulation layer—a rapidly renewable, natural raw material that drastically reduces the carbon footprint of your heating system while offering superb thermal distribution.

3. IDEAL CLASSIC CAB 30 (Waste Paper)

An innovative heating and cooling solution for walls and ceilings that uses a support element made entirely from recycled corrugated cardboard, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Perfectly Paired with Your Sustainable Finishes

Whether we are applying traditional clay or lime plaster over a wall-heating setup, or laying natural timber floors over an ÖKO wood-fibre system, the IDEAL range integrates seamlessly into ECS’s green building philosophy. Enjoy year-round comfort, lower energy bills, and a truly breathable home.
