What are the advantages and disadvantages of floor heating?

1, Comfort, Health and Care: The full name of floor heating is low-temperature radiant floor heating, which is the most comfortable heating method so far. The indoor surface temperature is uniform, and the room temperature gradually decreases from bottom to top, giving people the comfort of warming their feet and cooling their heads; Because hot air rises naturally, there is no air agitation, which is not easy to cause foul air convection and the indoor air is clean; Improve blood circulation and promote metabolism.

2. Floor heating does not occupy space, and the use of the room is more flexible: floor heating is a concealed project, and there is no radiator and branch pipe to occupy space, which increases the use area of the room from the side.

3. Superior energy saving: the radiant heating mode of floor heating has higher thermal efficiency than the convection heating mode, and the heat is concentrated at the height where the human body benefits; The heat loss during transmission is small; Users can also flexibly adjust and control according to their own usage, further effectively saving energy.

4. Good thermal stability: the floor heating and concrete floor have strong thermal storage capacity, and the indoor temperature changes slowly under intermittent heating.

5. Low operating cost: compared with other heating equipment, it can save energy by about 20%, and can make full use of low-temperature hot water resources or use electricity price policy to reduce operating cost.

6. Long service life: the plastic pipe or heating cable used for floor heating is buried underground, with good stability, no corrosion and no man-made damage, and the service life is synchronous with the building. It can also save maintenance costs for users.

Disadvantages of floor heating

1. Floor heating does not occupy space, but occupies the floor height: Floor heating occupies 5-7 cm of the floor height (different insulation materials and floor heating pipes are selected, and different construction schemes and methods have different effects on the floor height).

2, not easy to maintain: floor heating is a concealed project, and materials with good pressure resistance, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal stability should be selected during decoration. It is not convenient for secondary decoration, because the pipeline is laid underground, and it is easy to damage the underground pipeline when transforming the ground. Moreover, it is not suitable for spreading decorations on the floor, which is easy to affect the heat dissipation effect.

3. The use of the bathroom is restricted: because the heating pipe of the floor heating is complicated, the floor heating coil should be waterproof before and after laying. Due to the small scope of the bathroom (such as reserved toilets, bathtubs, sewers, etc.). ), the room temperature often can't meet the heating standard, and it needs the help of radiator.

4. When the floor heating system runs for 2-4 years, the floor heating pipeline will produce scale, which requires professional equipment to clean, otherwise it will directly affect the heating effect.
