To prepare to decorate your home, which is better, radiators or underfloor heating?

Advantages of water underfloor heating over radiators:

1.Water floor heating is the overall heating of the ground, the heating is uniform, and the comfort is better;

2.The radiator terminal dissipates heat, driving the room temperature, the indoor temperature is uneven, and the comfort is poorer;

3.The water floor is heated and the ground is hot, warm and cool, which is more suitable for traditional Chinese medicine health preservation.

4.Radiators need to be placed to occupy space, and are not suitable for owners who need to save space.

Shortcoming. 1.Water underfloor heating occupies more floor heights.

Water floor heating ground structure: insulation layer, heating layer, heat storage layer. The insulation layer is often called the insulation board, the heating layer is the heating pipe, and the heat storage layer is the cement layer.

Regardless of the floor height or floor tiles, the floor heating part occupies about centimeters.

2.Radiator water supply pipes are also generally buried under the ground. However, the pipe is buried directly in the concrete and does not directly occupy the floor height.

3.Radiator heating heats up faster. When the water floor heating starts to heat, it is necessary to first heat the cement layer above the hot water pipe, then heat the floor, and then heat the air from the floor, which takes a long time from opening to reaching the expected temperature; The radiator terminal dissipates heat, without heating the cement layer and floor, and the indoor temperature rises faster for the first time.

Therefore, water floor heating and radiators are very different in the way they are used, water floor heating is generally not completely turned off, and when there is no one at home, it is also in operation and not completely turned off).

Generally, there are more radiators to choose, and it may still be more economical, and Capgemini radiators are used by themselves. This new steel radiator series is still relatively popular. Find a time to compare and see.

Underfloor heating is recommended. Now there is that kind of electric heating floor, but ** is a little more expensive. But it's still a good deal. That kind of effect is good, and it is also good for health.

Floor heating bar, heat transfer from bottom to top, more comfortable.

Good decoration radiators. Here's why:

1. The installation of radiators is simpler.

Like the radiators installed in our homes now, they are basically wall-mounted. For example, the living room is generally on a wall in the living room, and if there is a window in the bedroom, it is generally on the lower side of the window, and it can be installed directly on the wall in the kitchen or bathroom. Therefore, the installation of radiators is simpler than that of the ground calendar.

2. From the perspective of later maintenance, the radiator is also simpler.

For example, after a few years of heating in our home, there may be a slight leak, if it is a leak from the radiator, we can easily repair it. But if there is a leak in the floor heating, it is necessary to remove the pavement layer of the ground, if the ground is paved with tiles, the tiles should be removed, and then the concrete is smashed open, revealing the floor heating pipe inside, so that it can be repaired.

Radiator purchase tips

1. Brand

It may be that the imported brand is stronger than the domestic one in some fields, but this theory does not work in the radiator industry. At present, the technology and equipment of domestic radiator brands are at the international first-class level, and the product performance and after-sales service have long been in line with international standards, and even surpass Europe and the United States in some aspects.

Second, the size of the radiator

Generally speaking, the size of the radiator is determined according to the size of the room, but in fact, the heating designer will determine the height and width of the radiator according to the heat demand of the room, the placement location, the room orientation, the decoration style and the heat dissipation of each radiator and other factors.

Summary. Floor heating, domestic water pipes about 100 yuan flat, plus water mixers, floor heating auxiliary materials and so on need thousands of dollars, in need of backfill and leveling, the overall basic 200 yuan flat.

The floor heating will be better in terms of comfort, but it is relatively high and will occupy a height of 5-8cm, and the radiator is more economical. It depends on your specific situation.

What are the main differences between these two heating methods**?

**It is mainly composed of pre-procurement, post-use and post-maintenance.

How much does it generally cost to purchase radiators and floor heating**.

Take the 100-square-meter Yingyu house as an example, the spine section chooses a steel radiator of 190 yuan, and the installation fee is about 180 yuan, with two valves and two couplings for each group, plus the installation fee, the basic 5,000 yuan or so can be searched to get it.

Floor heating, domestic water pipes about 100 yuan flat, plus water mixers, let grip the edge of the floor heating auxiliary materials and so on need thousands of dollars, in the need for backfill and leveling, the overall skin is basically 200 yuan flat.

Therefore, the radiator will be lower than the floor heating.

Does underfloor heating have requirements for the material of the floor?

The materials of the floor heating radiant heating method are mainly radiated to the room through the concrete and the ground materials, so the ground materials will always receive a certain temperature during the heating period, so the ground materials are suitable for stone or composite flooring with good heat dissipation and material properties that are not sensitive to temperature changes.

How to choose these two heating methods.

This first depends on your heating needs, if you are an office worker who rents nine covers and needs to heat up quickly, you can consider radiators, and if there are people at home who are often at home, you can consider floor heating.

Secondly, it is necessary to consider the installation time, the ground and the heating are generally installed together with the decoration of the family to tease and wait for the leakage, because the subsequent installation of floor heating must be renovated on the ground, and the installation of radiators is relatively flexible.

If the height is relatively low, the installation of floor heating will bring a certain sense of oppression, and the floor heating will occupy a height of 5-8cm for the installation of underground water pipes. These are all touch-state ranges that need to be considered.

If you use floor heating, you need to maintain it.

Floor heating maintenance is still needed, generally once every 3 years or so, and the cost is about 1,000 yuan.

Are there any precautions for maintenance?

There should be a gradual process of opening and closing the floor heating, and it is not recommended to adjust the temperature in a short period of time, which will affect the service life of the floor.

Is there any information about this material that can be viewed?

You can go to Qijia to see if there is any information you need, you can see the materials needed to repair the defects, and you can also have in-depth exchanges with professional grinding people.

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 decoration requirements for the lack of family sheds 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 quick.

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 chains, 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.

Good decoration floor heating.

1. Compare in terms of space utilization

If you compare the location of the space occupied, the installation of radiators will occupy a certain amount of space in the house. Generally speaking, the volume of the radiator is relatively bulky, and it is generally hung on the indoor wall or installed on the exterior window, which has a certain impact on the aesthetics of the room.

When the floor heating is installed, it is laid on the radiant layer of the floor, which will not affect the placement of furniture, which is a hidden heating method, but indirectly or reduces the indoor floor height.

2. Compare from the heating effect

Although both methods can serve as heating to a certain extent, their heating effects are different. The radiator uses air convection, which will make the indoor air hot at the top and cool at the bottom, and the heat generated is not evenly distributed in the room, and the comfort is relatively poor.

The floor heating is radiant heating, the heat medium will radiate the heat through the floor to the whole space, the heat in the whole space is relatively uniform, and the heat is gradually reduced from the bottom to the top, which means that the temperature is lowered from the bottom to the top, which will give people a feeling of cold head and warm feet, in line with the physiological laws of people, and we are more comfortable to use.

3. From the cost, it is more impressive

If compared from the installation, the installation of the radiator is relatively simple, it is usually installed directly on the wall or external window, and the maintenance is more convenient and the maintenance cost is lower. The installation cost of floor heating in the early stage is relatively high, and it is very troublesome to repair if there is a failure, and the maintenance cost is also higher.

In comparison, the radiator is more suitable for small apartments, and can control the switch and temperature by itself, while the operating cost of floor heating will be relatively low and more energy-saving if it is installed separately; However, if the floor heating is central heating, it is calculated according to the heating area, and the energy-saving effect is not good.

4. From the perspective of energy-saving effect

If compared with energy saving, the energy saving effect of floor heating will be more obvious. This is because the working principle of floor heating is low temperature radiation, so the temperature is relatively low, and each room can be adjusted and controlled, for the independent heating system or the central heating household metering system, the energy saving effect is more obvious.

The radiator is air convection heat dissipation, so the water temperature should be high, and there is no temperature control device, even if there is a temperature control system, the energy-saving effect is still not obvious.

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?

Radiators will be better compared to underfloor heating and radiators.

Nowadays, the radiators installed in homes are basically installed on the wall. The common installation location is basically on a certain wall in our room, for example, in the living room, it is generally installed on a certain wall in the living room, if there is a window in the bedroom, it is generally on the lower side of the window, and it can be installed directly on the wall in the kitchen or bathroom. Therefore, the installation of radiators is simpler than that of floor heating.

And if we don't replace the heating pipes when we install and modify the water and electricity in our home, this cost can be saved, and we only need to replace the radiators.

In addition, if there is a problem with the radiator, it is relatively easy to repair. If the floor heating is leaking, then the pavement layer of the ground needs to be removed, if the ground is paved with tiles, the tiles should be removed, and then the concrete is smashed open, revealing the floor heating pipe inside, so that it can be repaired.

Precautions for the use of heating

1. During use, do not pile clothes, food and other sundries on the radiator, and try to keep no debris within one meter of the radiator, otherwise it will affect the normal heat dissipation of the radiator.

2. Do not change the installation position of the heater that has been installed. Because its installation position is designed by the designer according to the overall indoor space planning, it is the best position for indoor heating and can ensure the balanced convection of indoor air. If the installation position is changed at will, it is easy to cause heating leakage, which will cause certain economic losses and cause certain harm to the human body.

3. The heating in use can not be put hot water at will, because the hot water and cold water in the heating form a closed circulation system, if the hot water is released at will, cold water should be added to maintain balance, the more hot water is lost, the more cold water will be added, and the temperature of the pipe will drop a lot, which will seriously affect the heating effect.

There are pros and cons to underfloor heating and radiators, and the choice of which option you choose depends on your needs and budget for heating results, eco-friendly spinning, comfort, installation costs, and routine maintenance. Here's a comparison of the two:

Heating effect. Home decoration floor heating adopts water circulation heating or electric heating, which can evenly distribute heat within the indoor ground range, so that the whole room produces a comfortable sense of warmth, which is different from radiators and air conditioners and other heating equipment with local heating effects. Therefore, floor heating has obvious advantages in winter heating.

Eco-friendliness. Since floor heating is a heating method based on ground heat dissipation, it needs to use fossil energy such as gas compared to radiators, which is more advantageous in terms of environmental protection. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the strict acceptance of floor heating before installation, and to control the health impact of floor materials.

Comfort. Floor heating adopts the heat dissipation method, and the biggest feature is that there is no cold wind blowing, and the indoor temperature difference is relatively small, which makes people feel more comfortable. The radiator will bring a significant feeling of dryness during the heating process, and it is necessary to use a home appliance humidifier to assist in solving the drying problem.

Installation costs and routine maintenance.

Compared with radiators, the installation of underfloor heating is relatively high and costly, and it is more complex. In addition, floor heating is also more troublesome in daily maintenance, and long-term use may lead to problems such as aging pipes, water leakage, and sediment blockage, which need to be maintained regularly.

To sum up, home improvement floor heating and radiators have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you want good indoor heating effect, good environmental protection, and high comfort, you can choose floor heating; If you are concerned about ease of installation and maintenance, low relative cost and daily expenses, or live in the south or in an area with moderate temperatures, you may want to consider choosing radiators.
