Lithotherm Deutschland GmbH

What Lithotherm Deutschland GmbH does

Lithotherm Deutschland GmbH is a German building materials manufacturer founded in 1990, with operational offices in Bad Kreuznach and registered headquarters in Uhler, Rheinland-Pfalz. The company develops and distributes ecological, dry-construction floor systems, with the Lithotherm Fußbodenheizung (radiant floor heating) as its core product. The system uses form plates made from natural stone (lavabasalt) that integrate heating pipes directly beneath the floor covering, enabling rapid-response low-temperature radiant heating. The portfolio is rounded out by Trockenestrich LW 86, a 45mm-height granite-based dry screed for projects without integrated heating, and the Infrarot-Carbonheizung, a 36V infrared carbon heating film marketed as a standalone or supplementary heating solution.

The Lithotherm system's defining technical characteristic is its dry-construction methodology: no moisture is introduced into the building, eliminating conventional screed drying times and reducing mold risk. The natural stone plates act simultaneously as structural support and thermal mass, allowing immediate walkability after installation and full demountability/recyclability. The system is compatible with all common floor coverings (tiles, parquet, laminate, vinyl, carpet, natural stone, solid wood) and integrates acoustic insulation. The infrared carbon heating operates at 36V low voltage with 99.7% claimed energy conversion efficiency and Smart-Home compatibility.

Lithotherm operates a channel-led go-to-market: products are sold exclusively through a Europe-wide network of specialist dealers covering Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Benelux, and England. The company does not sell directly to end customers; dealers stock, advise on, and install products. Lithotherm also engages architects and planners directly with GAEB-formatted specification texts (GAEB 90, 2000, XML 3.2) and Heinze BauOffice presence for tendering. The company is owner-managed (inhabergeführt) by Managing Director Manfred Kynast with approximately 8 employees. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of the three product lines, supplemented by optional paid professional training (Handwerkereinweisung) for self-builders. Pricing is quote-based, requiring floor area, build-up height, and floor covering specifications.

Core offering

Lithotherm Deutschland GmbH develops and sells an ecological, dry-construction floor heating system built on natural stone (lavabasalt) form plates that integrate heating pipes directly beneath the floor covering. Its portfolio includes the Lithotherm Fußbodenheizung dry floor heating system, the Trockenestrich LW 86 granite dry screed for projects without heating, and the Infrarot-Carbonheizung (low-voltage infrared carbon heating). The company additionally offers chargeable professional installer training (Handwerkereinweisung).

Product overview

Lithotherm Deutschland GmbH offers an integrated system of ecological floor construction solutions, centered on dry-construction technology. The core portfolio consists of three main products: (1) the Lithotherm Fußbodenheizung – a dry-construction radiant floor heating system using natural stone (lavabasalt) form plates that enables fast, energy-efficient heating without introducing moisture into buildings; (2) the Trockenestrich LW 86 – a dry screed system made from granite for projects without integrated heating, featuring minimal assembly height of 45mm; and (3) the Infrarot-Carbonheizung – an infrared carbon heating system for flexible wall/ceiling/floor installation that serves as a standalone heating solution. All products share a dry-construction philosophy, enabling quick installation without drying times, compatibility with standard floor coverings, full recyclability, and suitability for both new construction and renovation projects.

Broad incumbents

• Fermacell (James Hardie): Major European dry-construction board manufacturer (gypsum fibre and cement boards) for floors, walls, and ceilings. Broad incumbent in dry construction: comparable dry-construction methodology and German/European contractor channel, though not a direct heating competitor.
• Viessmann Generations Group: Major German heating systems manufacturer with a broad portfolio spanning boilers, heat pumps, and integrated climate solutions. Broad incumbent: comparable heating category, but Lithotherm's dry-radiant niche competes against Viessmann's incumbent heating-system specification position.
• Danfoss A/S: Danish multinational with a substantial floor heating and HVAC controls business in Europe. Broad incumbent: comparable on hydronic floor heating systems and controls, but operating at corporate scale far beyond Lithotherm's niche.
• REHAU Group: Global polymer-based systems provider with an extensive floor heating, cooling and plumbing portfolio. Broader incumbent: competes with Lithotherm in hydronic floor heating but operates at far greater scale with a much wider product range.
