What are the disadvantages of installing underfloor heating? What are its strengths and weaknesses?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing underfloor heating, do you know it? Give yourself: the advantage of installing floor heating, does not occupy the total area of space, does not need to be managed daily, the heat discharge is fast, the floor heating is defective, the ground is slightly uneven during installation, and the circulation of cooling circulating water commodities is slow, which will seriously affect the room temperature.

In the cold weather season, the best heating method is to install floor heating, floor heating and heat discharge are symmetrical, daily convenient management, and the key points of installation are done well, so you don't have to worry about general product quality problems. Generally speaking, the floor heating of the new house is installed by the real estate developer, and there is another specific situation, the radiator of the house, remove it and do it again, the question asks: what are the advantages and disadvantages of installing floor heating, do you understand?

The following is an in-depth analysis and explanation for the readers.

Installation of the ground, generally speaking, when the new house is decorated, the owners of the community are very rarely installed in the ground, because before taking the key, the real estate developer has already done a good job of floor heating, normal interior decoration can, and another situation, some people buy the second-hand first house, the room does not do the floor, the installation of traditional simple ambiguous gas, like this case, remove the original old ambiguous gas, or other equipment to take the fuzzy, home decoration, the cost budget to install the ground again.

The northern winter is particularly dry, especially on windy days, the heat in the room is not too good, the temperature is low, there is no way to move in, for example, the house reaches the second decoration period, when the renovation is done, first, the first item of interior decoration is to do floor heating, due to the many advantages of the floor, does not occupy the total area of the interior space design, although the floor heating improves many decoration costs, but once and for all, do not have to worry about the low indoor temperature in winter.

Under the premise of floor heating to produce ambient temperature, there are also some shortcomings, the installation of the ground is relatively high on the flatness of the ground, the ground is slightly uneven, such as the use of suitable raw materials for ground leveling, just done the ground can not be felt, the heating room obviously feels that it can not reach the standard temperature, the ground is uneven, the water in the ground pipe will slowly move down, the ground is slightly lower, the water in the floor heating water pipe, the commodity circulation is particularly slow, which endangers the heating quality.

The installation of floor heating pipes is also particular, the two floor heating pipes are wide in the middle spacing, endangering the quality of ground heating, unable to reach the normal heating temperature, and there is another defect, the overall indoor space to do floor heating, is achieved with a floor heating water pipe, after the floor heating is done, through the fight to pass the water, there is no problem qualified, once the water pipe cracks and leaks, there is no probability of overhaul and solution, only to remove it, and then install it again.

Floor heating has many advantages, does not occupy the total area of indoor space design, daily is not need to take care of, because there is a layer of paving raw materials on the floor heating, paving tiles, installing wooden floors, floor heating on the top of tiles, heat discharge is symmetrical, so as long as the heating is gradual, it does not need to be heated, and it begins to release uniform heat, which is an important reason why some people choose to install floor heating. The relative density of the ground pipe is uniform, and the water flow is smooth when the ground is leveled.

Floor heating has the advantage of good thermal stability, and the thermal stability of various products is not the same, but it is a very significant advantage, because the ground surface layer has large heat storage and good thermal stability, and in the case of intermittent heating, the temperature change of the room is relatively slow;

Floor heating installation is now a common heating method in many northerns, and floor heating is generally more beautiful and will not take up space. However, it is more troublesome in the later maintenance and cleaning.

The installation of floor heating gives the overall space of the home feel more spacious and tidy, but its disadvantage is that if there is a failure, it is more troublesome to repair, and the floor needs to be lifted.

First of all, in the summer, it may feel very hot and you can't breathe, but the advantage is that it doesn't particularly consume electricity.

The advantage of floor heating is that it heats up evenly and creates comfortable living conditions, but the disadvantage is that floor heating is slow and the installation procedure is complicated. Floor heating is due to the overall heating of the ground, so the heat dissipation is relatively uniform, so that the temperature difference in the room is relatively small, more suitable for living, more comfortable, and because the ground is heated, the head will be cool and the feet warm, which is more in line with traditional Chinese medicine health. However, the disadvantage is that the height of the occupied floor is too high, about centimeters.

Moreover, when the floor heating is heated, the cement layer above the hot water pipe must be made first, and then the floor can be heated, and then the air is heated by the floor, and finally the predetermined temperature is reached, which takes a long time. At the same time, the installation of floor heating requires layers of processes, the process is more complicated, and it is not easy to repair once damaged.

At present, the installation of floor heating is definitely better than the wall-mounted radiator, the floor heating can make the room heated evenly, and it is very comfortable to live in the room with floor heating in winter, but this later maintenance is more troublesome, if the paving is a wooden floor, it also has a certain impact on the floor.

Later maintenance is troublesome and expensive. The reasons why it is not recommended are as follows:

1. The overall construction process of the project is complex and the construction time of the project is relatively long.

2. The comfort in the heating process is relatively poor.

3. Later maintenance troubles.

4. Because the floor heating pipe has a certain thickness, plus the thickness of the cement and sand after leveling, this will occupy some indoor space in the room.

Nowadays, there are also a lot of heating methods and equipment, and many people who can't accept the shortcomings of floor heating have chosen other heating methods, such as installing radiators or air conditioners.

1. Benefits of underfloor heating:

1. The comfort is strong, the surface temperature of the floor heating heating is relatively uniform, the heat is transmitted by the soles of the feet, and the body temperature will rise as long as the feet are warmed, and the comfort feeling is relatively strong.

2. Compared with energy saving, floor heating makes the heat concentrate in the height of the human body, and the heat loss is small in the process of transmission. Moreover, low-temperature ground radiant heating can also be controlled by layering, household and room, and users can adjust and control it separately according to the situation, which can effectively save energy.

Disadvantages of underfloor heating:

1. The floor height of the house is high, because the insulation board of floor heating is 30mm, and the bean stone concrete filling layer is 50mm, with a total thickness of 80mm.

The advantage is that it is comfortable, the whole house is warm, the disadvantage is that it consumes electricity and is expensive, and the floor must be used well, otherwise it will be warped.

Installing underfloor heating can save room area, and the heating effect of underfloor heating is better, but it needs to be cleaned regularly!

Now most people decorate the house and choose to install floor heating, the main reason is that the floor heating is more beautiful, the floor heating is buried under the floor, does not occupy the space in the house, looks better and saves space, and the floor heating is placed under the floor of the whole house, the temperature rises faster, warmer than the traditional radiator, but the floor heating also has shortcomings, the biggest disadvantage is that it is difficult to maintain, if there has been no problem, it is okay, once there is a problem, the floor must be smashed open for maintenance, and it is convenient to repair without radiators.

Decoration is first laid floor heating and then paved floor, if the worker does not pay much attention to the floor heating pipe damage when laying the floor, this damage may not be found for a while and a half, in addition is that the floor heating is not hot is also difficult to find the cause, our community is a hardcover house, the floor heating is paved when the house is delivered, and then there are many neighbors who respond that the heating is not hot, and the maintenance master is also a trip to the door, a lot of problems are not solved.

Of course, there are still many advantages of floor heating, such as beauty, heating pipes are hidden in the ground, will not let the house look at the open pipe, the whole house looks better, in addition to the use of floor heating than the use of radiators to warm, the distribution of floor heating is more dense, the whole house is basically warm, and radiators are generally installed in a room, the temperature is definitely not as fast as floor heating, the temperature in my house in winter is basically around 26, it is relatively warm.

Floor heating and radiators have their own advantages and disadvantages, how to choose or depends on personal preferences, I personally still prefer floor heating, because I am not a very rich person, the house I bought is not big, I still hope that there can be more space in the house, floor heating obviously meets this requirement, such as my mother prefers radiators, she thinks radiators are easy to maintain, not hot if it is easy to find the reason, not like floor heating has to check for a long time, so home decoration still depends on personal preferences.

Nowadays, with the advancement of floor heating technology, people's indoor warmth has become warmer and more comfortable. To survive the harsh winter must be inseparable from warm measures, today's more popular thermal insulation system should be floor heating, you can install floor heating heating. In fact, floor heating is also a relatively new heating product, the heating effect is better than the traditional heating measures, but also more and more popular with the owners, and at the same time has been recognized by many owners, of course, this stems from the recognition of the advantages of floor heating, but floor heating also has disadvantages, then, what are the advantages of home improvement floor heating, what are the disadvantages of floor heating?

Advantages of underfloor heating.

1.Floor heating has a long service life, compared with other electrical appliances, it can be used normally for a longer time, if it is damaged by human factors, it can generally be used for about 40 years.

2.Floor heating has the advantage of good thermal stability, and the thermal stability of various products is not the same nowadays, but it is a very significant one, because the ground surface layer has large heat storage and good thermal stability, and in the case of intermittent heating, the temperature change of the room is relatively slow.

3.It can be applied to a variety of heat needs, generally speaking, each family has different heat needs due to age and physique, and geothermal heat can adjust its temperature and heating time according to demand.

4.Health, hygiene, environmental protection is one of the advantages of floor heating, compared with other electrical appliances, floor heating will not cause any pollution, will not produce exhaust gas and other pollutants, and can also improve blood circulation, promote human metabolism.

5.In addition, it will not occupy space is also a big advantage, floor heating is generally installed under the floor, so it will not occupy the area of the room, it is very beneficial to the beautification of the home, and it is also very space-saving.

6.The cost is low, which is also the key factor for many people to install floor heating, it is a bit that it consumes electricity resources, in our country, electricity is relative to other energy sources, especially in recent years, the price of oil and electricity, electricity has become one of the alternatives for many people.

Disadvantages of underfloor heating:

1.Due to the uniformity of floor heating temperature, the room will be warmer and drier, which will cause some people with poor physique to catch a cold and catch fire, so it must be applied selectively.

2.The initial increase in underfloor heating is relatively high, so it is also an option for many homeowners.

3.Whether it is installed electric floor heating or water floor heating, it is an indoor closed project, if there is damage, maintenance is more annoying, which is a big headache. Therefore, usually when electric floor heating is installed, it is necessary to carry out multiple links of testing and acceptance in the whole process.

4.Not all rooms are suitable for floor heating, but bathrooms are not suitable because the humidity of toilets is usually high, so it is not suitable for installation for waterproof reasons.

The advantage of installing underfloor heating is that it can make the home warmer and make the home feel the atmosphere of spring all year round. It can reduce the occurrence of diseases. It also saves money on installing heating.

You can also enjoy the best results with very little money. The downside is that it can be easily damaged and not easily repaired. Some underfloor heating may not be particularly long-lasting.

Because floor heating is a thing with advantages and disadvantages, we must pay attention to the selection of floor heating, so as to avoid some shortcomings.

Floor heating can maintain the temperature of the room, can increase the temperature of the room, and can also resist the cold, but the maintenance process is very complicated, which will cause respiratory diseases and will also lead to the phenomenon of fire. Because the temperature of floor heating is too high, it will affect the temperature effect of the home, but the warmth of floor heating is really good.

The advantage is that it can make the home warmer, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to leak and may cause the floor to blister. Because there are pros and cons to installing underfloor heating.

What are the advantages of underfloor heating:

1.Healthy and comfortable, because the floor heating makes the indoor surface temperature uniform, giving people a comfortable feeling of warm feet and cool heads, improving blood circulation and promoting metabolism. Moreover, it is not easy to cause polluted air convection, so that the indoor air is clean.

2.Energy-efficient, underfloor heating concentrates heat at a height that benefits the human body, and the heat is lost less during transmission. Moreover, low-temperature ground radiant heating can also be controlled by layering, household and room, and users can adjust and control it separately according to the situation to effectively save energy.

4.Good thermal stability, because the ground layer and concrete layer have large heat storage, so the thermal stability of floor heating is good, and under the condition of intermittent heating, the indoor temperature changes slowly.

5.Long service life, the PERT pipe for floor heating is buried in the ground, with good stability, no corrosion, no human damage, long service life, and it also saves maintenance and replacement costs.

What are the disadvantages of underfloor heating:

1.There is 80mm of occupation for the floor height, because the insulation board of floor heating has 30mm, and the bean stone concrete filling layer has 50 mm, and the total thickness is 80mm, so that the indoor floor height has a certain impact.

2.The maintainability of floor heating is poor, because floor heating is a hidden project and is not easy to maintain, so it is necessary to choose high-tech environmental protection pipes with good pressure resistance, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and good thermal stability when decorating. Moreover, it is not convenient for secondary decoration, because the floor heating pipes are laid underground, and the underground pipes are easily damaged when the ground is renovated for secondary decoration.

At the same time, it should also be noted that the temperature should not be set too high when using, otherwise the service life of the transmission pipeline will be reduced.

3.For example, the use of small spaces such as bathrooms is limited, because the heating pipes of floor heating are more complex, and the floor heating coils must be waterproof before and after laying, and the laying range of small spaces is small, so the room temperature is likely to not meet the heating standards.

4.After 2-4 years of operation of the floor heating system, the floor heating pipeline is prone to scale, which needs to be cleaned by professional equipment, otherwise it will directly affect the heating effect.

In the end, it is better to install radiators or floor heating, you can carefully compare their advantages and disadvantages before choosing, and you can choose different heating equipment for different heating environments.
