Our History
The Legalett Air-Heated Slab Foundation Concept Started Out Over 30 Years Ago in Sweden.... Now Nearly Half of all Construction Being Done in Sweden is with the Legalett System.
Legalett was created over 30 years ago as a simple grid of pipes installed in a slab to distribute heat from a heater located above the slab.
- The first Legalett slab was designed and built in Kungälv, Sweden
- Over time, the system design was refined to use pipe loops rather than a piping grid
- Heaters were then re-designed to enable their insertion within the slab
- The company was started in 1983
