    1. The installation conditions of radiators and floor heating are different.

    Radiator installation: more inclusive, whether it is a new house decoration or an old house upgrade can be met, and there is no requirement for floor materials and insulation conduits, just choose the right height and sufficient amount of radiators according to the family space area. As long as there is no large piece of furniture around the radiator to block the heat dissipation, it is fine.

    Floor heating installation: The floor heating system is a concealed system, and all pipes are buried in the ground, so it is necessary to design and construct in the early stage of house decoration, which is suitable for new houses without decoration. Moreover, the floor heating will occupy a floor height of about 4cm after being backfilled with dry and wet paving, which will reduce the net height of the room, and the room type with insufficient space height is not suitable for using floor heating.

    And after the installation of floor heating, the purchase of the floor also needs to pay more attention, small thermal resistance, low water absorption, small expansion and deformation of ceramic tiles, marble floor materials are more suitable for floor heating families.

    2. The heat dissipation effect of radiators and floor heating is different.

    Radiator: The heat dissipation method of the radiator is mainly based on air convection, which heats the air around the radiator first, so that the hot air forms convection in the room, so as to achieve the purpose of heating. Therefore, the radiator heats up quickly, and the heating system can reach the preset temperature within half an hour of opening, which can basically be used immediately.

    Floor heating: The heat dissipation method of floor heating is radiant heat dissipation, which radiates heat through the hot water in the floor heating pipe, and then conducts upward heat dissipation by the floor. Underfloor heating pipes are located throughout the rooms, so the temperature difference in the room is small.

    However, due to the large specific heat of the water, coupled with the need for floor conduction, the floor heating rate is slower, especially when it is turned on for the first time, and it takes a while for the whole room to heat up. In the same way, the floor heating heats up slowly and cools down slowly, and the floor and concrete layers have a strong energy storage capacity, so they can keep the room temperature stable even if they run intermittently.

    3. The comfort of radiators and floor heating is different.

    Radiator: Because the radiator uses air circulation convection heat dissipation, the room temperature is hot and cold, the closer to the radiator, the higher the temperature, the room temperature gradient changes significantly, and the comfort is different from floor heating, but the room temperature difference can be improved by increasing the number of radiator groups.

    Floor heating: The uniform heating method of floor heating from bottom to top is conducive to blood circulation and is suitable for installation in families with elderly and children.

    Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, to put it simply, floor heating is comfortable for heat dissipation, but it is more suitable for rough houses, and decorated houses are not suitable, because it is more troublesome to pry open the floor, installation and maintenance. The installation of radiators is relatively simple, so depending on your actual situation and needs, Rubens Heating hopes to help you.

    Is underfloor heating or radiators better? It is said that radiators are not as comfortable as the warm grip of stupid people, why are there still many people who install radiators?

    Underfloor heating is more comfortable and radiators are more economical

    In some areas, when central heating is stipulated, it is not allowed to change the floor heating, and only radiators can be installed; The installation of underfloor heating will take up about 5 8cm of floor height.

    1. Different working and living habits. The biggest advantage of the radiator is that it can be turned on and heated, for the ninth night.

    Fifth, office workers who go out early and return late are the best choice. New landscape radiator, the whole house heats up quickly. Heating is convenient, no need to wait.

    If there are permanent residents such as babies and the elderly, the demand for instant heating is not obvious, and the family needs to be heated for a long time, then it is recommended to choose floor heating, continuous warmth, and the longer it is opened, the more money it will save. Of course, large villas can directly adopt a mixed installation method, with floor heating in the living room, radiators in the bedroom, study, bathroom and other areas, so that it is more efficient to combine heating.

    2. The requirements for home decoration are different. For new home renovations, underfloor heating and radiators can be installed. It needs to be carried out synchronously according to the construction progress, whether it is floor heating or radiators, the ground needs to be grooved, and the floor heating pipes or heating water pipes need to be laid and fixed.

    If it is an old house to install heating, you can only choose radiators, because the paving floor heating project is large and burns money. Surface-mounted radiators are more convenient and faster.

    3. The installation budget is different. For floor heating, the main choice of pipes also needs to pay attention to water collectors, thermostats, insulation auxiliary materials, etc., and the installation cost is slightly expensive. Radiators, the main selection of radiator equipment, ** and the installation fee is relatively cheap.

    In terms of the cost of heating in the later stage of the two, the key depends on whether it is short-term heating or long-term heating. Long-term heating is more economical for underfloor heating, and short-term heating radiators are more economical.

    Floor heating and radiators are very easy to use, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, I can't say which one is necessarily better, only which one is more suitable for you, for example, the heating temperature required for floor heating can be slightly lower, but it needs to be heated for a long time. The installation and maintenance of radiators is relatively simple, and the heat is relatively fast, intermittent heating can also be, if it has been decorated, install radiators, Rubens heating hopes to help you.

    Underfloor heating is better than radiators for the following reasons:

    1. The floor heating is more comfortable, and the floor heating heat dissipation is even, which can make the human body sensitive to the blind, and the feet are warm and the head is cold

    2. Floor heating is more space-saving, and the floor heating is buried under the floor, with a thickness of about five to six centimeters, which will not take up too much indoor space. Sparrows.

    3. The service life of floor heating is longer, and the floor heating pipes and liquid insulation materials that meet the European standards can be used for more than 50 years. Radiators heat up faster, and good radiators start emitting heat in about ten minutes.

    <> radiators and floor heating have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the specific choice should be considered based on the actual situation.

    1. Radiator: suitable for the more traditional heating method of spring return, using water circulation heating method, high thermal efficiency, adjustable temperature, construction and maintenance costs are relatively low, but not conducive to indoor beauty.

    2. Floor heating: suitable for new buildings, using the floor or under the ground in the form of pipes to leak and heat, does not occupy indoor space, uniform heating, comfortable temperature, indoor beauty, but the construction and maintenance costs are relatively high.

    3. The specific choice should consider the actual situation, including the building type, housing structure, heating demand and budget range and other factors, and you can consult professional heating engineers and decoration companies and other professionals for evaluation and selection.

    Expand your knowledge: Radiators and underfloor heating are both common heating methods, and with the advancement of technology and the innovation of materials, the performance gap between the two has become smaller and smaller. In the actual selection, it can be considered comprehensively according to individual needs and preferences.

    At the same time, no matter which heating method you choose, you need to pay attention to rational use, save energy and protect the environment. For example, you can choose a smart thermostat to automatically adjust the indoor temperature, choose environmentally friendly heating materials, avoid waste, etc.

    Radiators and floor heating have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which heating method depends mainly on the use environment and personal needs

    1.Energy consumption: The pipes of the floor heating system are buried in the ground, which can maximize the use of the thermal insulation function of the soil and have a good energy-saving effect. The radiator is heated by electricity, which consumes a lot of energy and costs a lot.

    2.Uniform heat: Floor heating can evenly send heat to each room due to the use of low-temperature hot water circulation, which is more comfortable. The radiator is confined to the local area, and the heat distribution is uneven, which is easy to produce temperature differences.

    3.Initial investment cost: The construction pipeline and equipment of the floor heating system are relatively expensive, and the initial cost is high. The radiator is simple to invest and the initial cost is low.

    5.Space utilization: Floor heating does not occupy room space, which is more beautiful and generous. The radiator needs to occupy a certain wall area, which affects the interior decoration and layout.

    6.Health impacts: Floor heating uses a low-temperature hot water system, which has little impact on human health. The radiator directly electrically heats the code leakage, which has a certain impact on air humidity and normal radiation, and the health is slightly worse.

    Choose a more suitable heating method according to the actual situation, or you can use a combination of the two.

    Compared with floor heating and radiators, floor heating is more comfortable or front-plus, because the heat of floor heating is evenly distributed, and the heat is transmitted from the soles of the feet to the whole body, which will not cause the hot air of the manual high temperature, and the comfort is relatively high. The radiator is easy to cause dry heat, which has potential safety hazards, and the heat rise of the radiator is slow, time-consuming and laborious.
