You are about to renovate a new house in your home and you are still wavering between heating options. Don't worry, this article gives you a deep understanding of underfloor heating in order to make the best choice in the end.

What is water underfloor heating: water underfloor heating is a heating method that uses hot water with a temperature of not more than 60℃ as the heat medium, circulates in the heating pipes in the filler layer below the ground, heats up the whole floor, and supplies heat to the room through the ground in the form of radiant heat transfer. It is also known as low-temperature hot water thermal radiation heating.

There are eight major benefits of installing water floor heating.

Benefit one: health effects

Chinese medicine emphasizes natural health care, "foot warm and top cool", feet and two legs to ensure that the temperature, the top of the head awake and inspired. Floor heating from the bottom up to dissipate heat, to ensure the body's blood circulation, promote metabolism, so the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have inhibited. Elderly people suffering from rheumatism, arthritis and old cold legs are most suitable for floor heating.

Benefit two: health and cleanliness

Compared with the air conditioning heat convection is obvious, easy to raise dust and mites, floor heating radiation is relatively "quiet". The temperature rises from the ground, ironing the entire room, almost imperceptible circulation of airflow, there will be no dust and inspired by coughing, asthma attacks.

Benefit 3: Energy and heat saving

Because the floor heating pipes are evenly distributed throughout the room, the temperature in the room is balanced and the total amount of ineffective heat is less. The heat medium transmits heat at a low temperature, and less heat is lost in the delivery process. Compared with other heating methods, if you want the room to achieve the same heating result, the temperature value of the underfloor heating setting will be a little lower.

Benefit 4: Wider range of heat sources

Underfloor heating is hot water heating, there are more "water sources" to choose from, such as residual hot water, geothermal water, solar collector hot water, air conditioning return water, ground energy, wall-hung boilers and so on. With a variety of home scenarios, to achieve consumer expectations.

Benefit 5: does not occupy space volume, to maintain the beauty of the decoration

Open heating, piping, will be exposed to a certain extent in the outside, not very beautiful, and easy to bump to failure. Water underfloor heating but all buried in the ground, but also will let the furniture arrangement has a greater degree of freedom. Let the decoration style show.

Benefit six: long service life

Buried in the underground home furnishings are the least easy to take care of, floor heating piping is precisely for this reason must pass the standard test, to obtain the national quality inspection approval. The national quality inspection agency stipulates that the floor heating pipe use conditions to reach a certain level, the service life can reach 50 years. The life of air conditioning is 8-12 years, while the life of the heater is generally less than 10 years.

Benefit 7: Reduce floor noise

Other heating methods do not have this. Our current compartmentalized floor slabs are usually prefabricated or cast-in-place slabs, which are not good for sound insulation. The footsteps of people upstairs can be heard clearly. After laying a layer of water floor heating insulation, the sound insulation effect of the upper and lower floors will be enhanced.

Benefit 8: Free temperature adjustment

Underfloor heating pipes are laid in separate rooms, each of which has its own temperature regulator, so that the householder can decide for himself which rooms need or don't need underfloor heating, and how many degrees the underfloor heating should be adjusted to. This makes it easier to save energy and at the same time makes life more comfortable. For example, different underfloor heating temperatures in the morning and evening correspond to different differences in people's living behavior.
