Advantages and disadvantages of floor heating

Floor heating is by far the most comfortable heating method. The indoor surface temperature is uniform, and the room temperature gradually decreases from bottom to top, which gives people the comfort of warming their feet and cooling their heads, and conforms to the fitness theory of "warming their feet and cooling their heads" in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, the floor heating naturally rises due to hot air, and there is no air agitation, which is not easy to cause foul air convection, and the indoor air is clean and hygienic.

Energy efficient

The thermal efficiency of floor heating is higher than that of convection heating, and the heat is concentrated at the height of benefiting mankind; The heat loss in the transmission process is small, which saves about 20% energy compared with other heating equipment, and also saves 20% operating expenses.

Good sound insulation effect

Floor heating plus insulation layer has a very good sound insulation effect, and the floor heating process is silent.

Good thermal stability

The ground with warm floor and concrete floor have strong heat storage capacity. In the case of intermittent heating, the indoor temperature changes slowly, and it feels natural, and there will be no discomfort caused by excessive temperature rise.

Long service life

Floor heating is a concealed project, and there is no space occupied by radiators and branch pipes, which indirectly increases the use area of the room and is convenient for decoration and furniture layout; If the floor is warm, the plastic pipe will not corrode or scale if it is buried in the module or concrete layer under the floor. If there is no man-made damage, the service life will be synchronized with the building.

Height requirements are high.

The floor heating system needs to occupy about 5-6 cm high (different insulation materials and floor heating pipes are selected, and different construction schemes and methods have different effects on the floor height), which has a great impact on houses with lower floors.

Maintenance difficulty

Floor heating is a concealed project, which is difficult to maintain. When decorating, choose materials with good compression resistance, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, which is inconvenient for secondary decoration, because the pipeline is laid underground, and it is easy to damage the underground pipeline when transforming the ground.
