Her ser du et eksempel på et lavtbyggende gulv på bare 15 til 20 mm så du er inne på banen med low-mounted. Jeg ville da si low profiled - så takk for hjelpen.

Note from asker:
| Uff. I was a bit quick off the mark here, I see. Thanks for your correction. I think we're talking about "low-mounted" here, aren't we? |
| Hvis du går videre til produsentens engelskspråklige sider, brukes det "underfloor heating", som er jo det vanlige begrepet i den konteksten. Men nå skjønner jeg at jeg har vært på feil spor. Jeg så for meg at automatikken lå innfelt i dørkarmen eller et annet vertikaltstående struktur. Men (som du har prøvd å forklare for meg) den ligger innfelt i bakken, og det er profilen som ikke må overskride 100 mm. Riktig? |
